Worse night out... 3rd October 2007

1 found this helpful

A mate of mine was playing at this venue a few days ago so me and some friends went down to show our support. When we got there I was shocked by the standard of the venue, its in very poor condition, the stage is very small and if the band is standing up and playing the audience can’t see half of their body, which is a bit of a akward experience.
The toilettes are by far the worst I’ve ever seen in my life – but still the worst thing probably was when we had to see the corps bride look-a-like of the venue owner who completely screwed over my mates band on their agreed fee for the performance.
I will most certainly not be visiting 12 bar again… i am only giving them one start because you must rate the place in order to publish...if i had to choose they would get NO starts whatsoever....

Hot Bed in Tin Pan Alley 6th June 2007

The 12 Bar Club is a hot bed of talent on Denmark Street. Denmark Street has been known as Tin Pan Alley for a long ole time... There are music businesses and shops all down the street.
Check out the festival! http://www.tinpanalleyfestival.co.uk

Anyway, 12 Bar... let me warn you, it's GRUNGY! Your feet stick to the floor. The stage is tiny and if you stand in front of the band you can't see their heads because of the low ceiling of the balcony above. So the tip is - follow the stairs up to the balcony and you get the best view.

New bands and promising unknowns play there and sometimes the place if full of music business people supporting the next prodigy. The audience tends to be friends and promoters of the band. Some people go there just to hang out in the bar and have a meal. I think it normally costs about £5 to get in.

Worth just dropping in if you're with a friend looking for something to do. It could be very quiet with only 10 people in the audience or it could be a mad crush 'secret' star performance.

You go here for music, the fact that they serve beer and food is a bonus.

Expect, good live music a range of cooking lager and burger and chips if you are hungry.
