great venue,
I didn't drink when I was here so I can't comment on the prices but there are a total of 4 bars in the place, 3 on the first floor and one on the balcony.
security is good here, they pat everyone down and have security making sure that if any shit goes down they can stop it really quick. There was an attendant in the washroom i am assuming for this reason, although he stands there and gives you soap I'm guessing his main purpose is to stop people fucking and fighting in the basement (he also makes sure everyone washes his hands, extra bonus)
The acoustics in this place are great, its plenty spacious and no matter where you are you should be able to see the stage, unless there is a tall guy in front of you I suppose.
For those with sensitive ears if you stay back or on the balcony you should be fine.
All in all a great venue that is extremely safe and fun to be in, its got lots of room to move around and plenty of good spots to watch your show. I highly recommend.
