    Yeah, teh logo is impressive, but with headline bands like six, you'd wonder if it's going to be Waterfords version of South???

    Getting random so called celebs to open the place dosnt really count as headline bands now does it?

    Id have to agree there, Axis Mundi isnt a bad oul spot, only probs are that it gets a little crowded and ya have to be in there early.

    But in saying that, the music's fairly good, there are some absolutely lovely ladies there and plenty of comfy seats when you manage to get chatting to one of the said lovely ladies :D

    *cough* and Friday nights.

    Haven't been in oxygen yet. I think it's just trying to be trendy, but from what I've heard, it doesn't quite pull it off. Axis Mundy is good for a few drinks with your buddies, plus it's usually free in before midnight. Sheff's nightclub (can't remember the name) is a kip, if it wasn't for the student crowd (some nice talent there) I wouldn't go at all.

    Don't know about "The barn". Haven't been in preachers in literally years. As long as it doesn't turn into a kiddie haunt it should make another option when going out.
