âI went on the weekend for the first time, it was a gig. The venue is very unique and I appreciated the games on offer, the sound system was awesome but a bit too loud for me, probably didn't help that I was not drinking much. Toilets where clean enough for a club. The outside area was nice and sheltered but could of done with some heating. I will have to come back to try the food and play some pool when its a bit quieter.â
