What it’s like

Live music and retro video games in a basement venue in Norwich, with all ages welcome if under-16s bring an adult.

Live music is the main event here, with a run of retro video games tucked in for good measure. Doors are usually around 7pm and the first act's on by half seven, curfew's 11pm, though that shifts a bit depending on what's booked in, so it pays to check the specific gig rather than assume every night runs the same.

All ages are welcome, which is a nice change from most gig venues, but anyone under 16 needs a parent or guardian with them. Ticket prices swing about a lot, from a fiver up to £22 depending on the show, plus an early bird rate around £9 and a student ticket at £6.

The catch is the stairs. The pizza joint, main bar and one set of toilets are on the ground floor, but the venue itself, a second bar and more toilets are down two flights of basement stairs, about 1.5 metres wide with a bannister. If you've got a pushchair or anyone who struggles with steps, that's the bit to plan around. There's no parking at the venue itself.

They do veggie and vegan food, which is a decent nod for anyone bringing a mixed group of eaters. Beyond that it's the sort of night where the retro games in the corner might end up being what your teenager remembers as much as the band.
