One large room downstairs with two or three high tables and two low tables, so get in early if you want seating. Busy on Fridays and Saturdays when it can get very full, but a buzzing atmosphere with rock/indie music played a DJ. There is a smartphone quiz on a Monday nights. Upstairs there is a large room with a stage for the many live bands who play here. There is live music nearly every night. In the summer the decking area directly out the front provides a great place to sit and chat with friends.
