Went to see a mate play music
I saw a mate of mine play a gig there once downstairs as part of a charity film screening back in March (www.solidaritynotcharity.org.uk)

Whoever the venue had let mix the sound was pathetic. That said, the sense of sitting in the dungeon-like space of what must be the former foundry was... interesting. That and the opportunity to add graffiti to anywhere you could fit it in.

God knows what it's like the rest of the time. Wasn't there for drinking, but noticed they had organic bottled beers. Didn't drink them - drank another generic bottled lager.

The main bar was full of intriguingly dressed people and there was another room downstairs displaying artwork. Most of which was fair to middling in quality/interestingness

Station House aka The Station
Been here a couple of times after climbing on a weekday evenings at the Westway nearby. Lots of space for large groups (e.g. climbing clubs) and, despite being pricey, I've found the food to be well made, tasty and a decent portion size.

It has a LARGE beer garden at the back with a variety of seating arrangements.

I've never been there when its busy so I can't really comment on the speed of the service or acoustics.

My beef with the place is that some of the tables/seats are a bit oversized and you end up struggling to hear what other people are saying...

Westway Climbing Wall
Went to the centre purely for the climbing wall - have no real intention to use it for anything else, but for the walls alone, this place is great. There are plenty of different routes (50+??) to rope climb, a wall for traversing and another for free climbing etc. And on sunny days, there's a interesting concrete shape/wall outside. Highly recommended.
