A roughly 200-300 capacity room with a backroom club and full soundsystem, it runs an exciting programme of live music, stand-up comedy and late-night DJ sets seven nights a week (the cocktail bar is open from 5pm daily). Long a key stop for touring and emerging indie, rock and electronic acts, it remains a busy fixture of the Cowley Road scene with gigs and club nights regularly booked through 2026.
