Review: Far to Metalic and Shiny for a Rock/Indie Club, could be bettter if a bit darker, but the regulars are friendly and the music is varied. Sometimes good for the full 4 hours, other times a couple of hours of boredom. Thursdays usually band nights. Occasionally open Sundays 7pm-Midnight for band competitions. Usually Cheaper on Tuesdays and Sundays.
