Description
Reaching the 240-capacity back room requires walking straight through the front lounge, opening into a tight stage area where the barrier between performer and crowd evaporates. The room rotates through live sets, stand-up bills, and electric DJ dance parties that take over the floor. Upstairs shifts the pace with arcade games alongside the pool tables, while all backroom programming is strictly 19+.
Good to know
Laid-back / casual19+ for backroom
