The programming spans Rock, pop, acoustic, pub music, mixed, giving musicians a useful sense of what already works in the room. The best sets here will work with the room rather than over it, keeping enough energy to hold a social crowd without turning dinner or drinks into a volume contest.

The main room holds about 400 standing and the secondary room about 200, giving electronic, rock, pop and experimental artists real production scale. The all-ages cultural setting makes it flexible for concerts that need more than a bar footprint.
