I love this venue. It only holds a few hundred so the gigs have an intimate feel to them and no matter where you stand in the room you still get the great crowd atmosphere ! They've recently got a new entrance which has a more welcoming feel than going in through a fire escape as it was previously, and I'm a personal fan of the disco balls along the corridor.
It is only a 5-10 minute walk from New Street station and the bullring. And there is a chip shop just up the road for all those hungry peeople after gigs.
The ticket prices for this venue are also very reasonable !
