Dirty dank and overpriced. Music not bad. Security the worst I have ever experienced, I saw them physically attack a deaf woman who didn't hear an instruction shouted at her back, a couple of people who asked them not to were dragged out and thrown to the floor, they refused to give their ID numbers and were generally rude and aggressive. Nights out should be fun, decent bouncers are an important part of this. Venues employing thugs who act outside the law and outside decency are best avoided.

Can be fun when busy and offers a wide range of music, both on club nights and events, but let down drastically by over-priced drinks and horrendous 'security' staff. On several occasions I have been treated far from courteously by the staff who seem a little carried away with their small measure of power - an experience I have never had anywhere else. Shame really. What money was left over from skimping on proper door staff was certainly not spent on the decor - there has been little to nothing done with the inside and you are basically paying to enter a dank garage with sticky floors and a cacophony of bad smells/attitudes. Go if you're desperate or there's a good band on but look elsewhere for a good vibe.

Is this the old Carling Academy place?
