HISTORY UKFebruary 10, 2011The acoustics here were once so bad, it was said this was the only venue where a composer could be sure of hearing his work twice. It was corrected in 1969 by putting diffusing discs on the ceiling.
The asahi bar is the least busiest generally of all the bars but servers pretty much all the same as the others, including champers :)
Thrash HitsApril 22, 2012Tough to get drunk in here because it's a long way to the bar but the band is guaranteed to sound amazing.
CrazycolJanuary 28, 2015This place is amazing you just can't help but look up and stare at the size of this place.
Tyler TannerSeptember 27, 2014The coffee bar was absolutely riveting. I was glued to my seat the whole time.

Lamy ChoiFebruary 21, 2014It's small and beautiful!! The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that people left all the garbage at the floor or the seats.

Dirk Vom LehnSeptember 10, 2011If you plan to go to the Christmas sing-along carols tickets go on sale in the summer.
Emma MooreApril 19, 2011Very impressive building but it has its flaws: drinks queue too long, not enough ladies' loos, and if you feel the need to dance then it's not quite right ... Or possible. Crowd are a bit ... .
L. C.July 28, 2012Cream performed here in 1968 for their farewell concert,and in 2005 for their reunion concert.

"Try to book Friday night with music. Prawns wrapped in ham starter is divine. Don't have the chicken! Fresh pasta dishes the best, particularly with duck."
