FAQ

No, the smaller room is not offered for standalone live shows.

No, there is no sound limit. A full PA in the back room is available for background music; live music would need an engineer to oversee.

Yes, the back room does have heating, but it is minimal as it is primarily a club space and is not suitable for screenings.
