About the room

Old tannery. New ears.

An independent venue run by people who've carried their own amps up too many staircases.

Why we exist

Cities need rooms where a band can play their fourth-ever gig to fifty people who came on purpose. That's us. We book local originals first, bring through touring acts who'd otherwise skip town, and keep the ticket prices honest.

The sound system was specced by the people who mix on it. The stage is low enough to see over. The green room has a working toilet, which artists tell us is rarer than it should be.

Two rooms

Main Room

300 standing, 140 seated. Full PA, lighting rig, backline available on request (hence the name). Home to ticketed shows, DJ nights and comedy.

Front Bar

80 people, a small stage and the best jukebox in the inner north. Free gigs, songwriter nights and the only quiet pint you'll find on a Friday.

Access

Everyone gets in.

  • Step-free entry through the Tannery Lane door.
  • Accessible toilet on the ground floor, next to the Main Room.
