    Saw C Duncan here and it was the perfect Sunday night gig. Parts of the venue is inaccessible but the main area is not, unfortunately the bar has two steps down to it (with white stripped edges). It is a beautiful venue with large high ceilings and now with the sound proofing in place, the sound is much better. Great selection of beer at the bar.

    Parts of the venue can be uneven and its very dark, so for visual impairments it could be tricky. Upstairs is nice and solid handrails are provided on both sides. No step at entrance.

    Additional Information

    This is a nice venue, its not suited for every impairment, but if you go with friends or family, I sure they could help out by going to the bar or I'm sure a member of staff would assist you from the accessible areas. Would say it's very dark and can be hard to see when walking around.
