The sound is usually very good, but loud. Capacity is something like 800 for gigs. It has terraces and balconies, so even if you are further away you can have a good view. No bar in the main hall. Usually a long queue to get into the venue, as the door staff are velvet rope people. Easy to get to, as it is next door to the Kings Cross Thameslink and very near the mainline/tube station as well.

but it's a good venue and you can usually see and hear everything well.

I'm thinking of seeing the locust when they play their in September and I wanted a heads up on the venue. I'm a bit worried about ruining my hearing though, as the locust are know to be very loud. :S (I have earplugs!) What are the drinks like? Surprisingly expensive?

have I been there? Is it the place 'chalk' was at.

That night at least it was like the seven levels of hell. Trudging round in the dark looking for something interesting and being too wasted to hear any music

will people please STOP standing on the stairs! Idiots.
