Overall Rating

Excellent

This is a brilliant venue, which acts as a music venue, cinema and has a great bar and a cool shop!

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

The front has a revolving door but it has a side door with a disabled push button. The ground layout is all on one level and and lifts are accessed to the upper floor. The shop and bar counters both have lower desk counters. The building space is big and has plenty of space for moving and large sofas in the lobby. The cafe has a mixture of chairs and tables to suit different peoples preferences and plenty of space between them. The shop has some pretty cool products but some are placed at high levels which might be annoying.

Parking & Transport

Good

We walked here about a 10 minute from the ferry terminal. But there's a large car park out at the front.

Accessible Toilets

Good

I saw a sign for an accessible loo at the bar - but couldn't find one. I found a large, clean one out at the lobby, which isn't too far away from the bar.

Staff

Excellent

Cheerful and friendly.

Additional Information

This is a cool place, the films showing was really current. A great place to grab a coffee or a beer with stunning views!
