    I've only been in there once before. It's where the old printing press was for the Belfast Telegraph. They've ripped out the floor from the first floor so that it's just one big open space. I was there in December and it was absolutely freezing but really enjoyed it. It's fairly close to the city centre. Loads of bars nearby.

    Belfast is a great city to go out in IMHO.

    As a rural Catholic Ulsterman Belfast represents everything that is bad about our history, the same with those other County Antrim towns. The terrible accents in County Antrim also don't help.

    Away with your auld sh1te. Some of the best times of my life were as a student up in Belfast and have had many more great nights up there since.

    As previously mentioned, it's the stripped out printing press. Which either gives the venue an industrial feel or makes it look like a kip.
    High stage and good sound.
    Long bar and merch desk in room behind the 'auditorium'.
    The toilets are standard festival portaloos and urinals.

    From City Hall, it's a straight walk up Royal Avenue.
    Entrance via Little Donegal Street ....

    I don't think there's a pit.

    the amount of smoking in the venue was crazy. Like a throwback to the bad old days

    There was a lot of vaping going on. I did get the odd whiff of cigarette smoke too though.
