good to know

cash only - the bar does not accept credit cards, full stop. two rooms: the lounge up (140) and cantab underground down (100 standing), the basement that used to run as club bohemia. cover kicks in after 8pm on weekends; no cover on tuesdays. both floors go dance on the right saturdays - riddim x runs the lounge while bashment runs the underground. live music runs seven nights a week across both floors, so there is no quiet night to stumble into by accident.
