Went here to see the Wombats. As you walk in there's a nice bar area and we got served quickly considering there was a gig on. There's not many toilets so the queue does build up but I think there may have been more at the other side of the stage room. The stage area is nice. Only complaint was it was really crowded so difficult to get to the bar or toilet.
Such an amazing venue, anywhere you stand you feel so close to the stage. Any band playing here I’d love to see. And not only is there a coat check, it’s free!!!!
A decent venue, I've seen a few bands on here and always had a good night.
It's small so you get some good intimate gigs, and there's two bars so queues aren't usually bad.
However the drink selection is pretty poor and the prices are eye watering
A great venue to see a band. Many venues are too large and you are someway from the band/show. This is just right with the band just feet away and a great atmosphere.
Superb live music venue right in the middle of the city centre. Staff are always kind and polite. Drink selection is limited and a little pricey, but most music venues follow this sales method. Would highly recommend for any gigs.
Used to be the Masque and the Barfly..
Smallish venue ,standing only with a small balcony.
Sound was excellent for the Alarm and Dave Sharp.Great atmosphere.
Fees of almost 7quid on a 25 quid ticket despite paying on the door was over the top.
usual poor selection of drinks as at the 02 academy .
It's bonkers how I ended up here on Wednesday night. I actually went to the Arts pub opposite the Everyman theatre.. Oops wrong venue although they did have a cracking band in the bar area,heard them doing 1 song 👍 then to Seel street behind the fact cinema to see Frank Turner in the Arts club ( easy mistake 🙄🤣 ) I'd never heard of Frank Turner till a week ago, you know what it's like on YouTube.. Only heard 1 song and thought where's he gigging..oh Sold out.. booooo! Got a ticket off Twickets and hey 🤪 presto.. Brilliant gig. Brilliant venue.. cracking fan's.. I sang along were I could.
Just bought my next ticket to see them Saturday 8th October 02 Carling Academy, Liverpool, 2022.
Went to see Ash at this brilliant little venue. Very intimate with an excellent raised standing area so, for a change, my daughter could see. No queues at the three bars which were, as is the norm for similar events, a bit overpriced. No problems with the toilets which are easy to get too being just left of the stage. Friendly door staff and to top of a very positive experience, a fabulous rocking performance by Ash. With tickets relatively cheap and easy on street parking within 5 minutes what's not to like. Recommended 🙂
This place is superb for a small venue right in the heart of Liverpool's bar scene. From the outside it doesn't look much, but on the inside the atmosphere and viewing area is superb. The floor is terraces so you should get a view of the stage from everywhere. One o my new fave gig venues.
The raised levels meant we were able to see the band where ever we stood which was great, friendly staff also. The only down side was the toilets weren't stocked with toilet roll, so bring a pack of tissues to avoid being caught out. A great night though 😊.
