Village Underground

Strong mould smell due to high level of humidity (asthmatics take care). The fog machine has not been used on the latest show, has been abused, I had trouble seeing where I was stepping on my way back from the bar.. that’s not OK.
Prices on drinks are fine, no problem on that, but I have asked for JD and coke, and I’ve been served something cheap.
One lady from the staff asked at some point the DJ (Olympe) to not smoke at the Dj deck, but she had a vape, plus hundreds of people in the crowd were vaping like old steam train.

I could say that the place has pros and cons, but the balance is not there.

Very cool venue with great sound. Didn’t have much drink choice when I went but seems like they do have a larger menu available usually.

Excellent gig venue. Sound and lighting first class.
Not too large to have a real atmosphere (700 capacity).
IDLES (billed as TANGK) were superb in this space

I absolutely love Village Underground, it’s perfect when not too busy either. It’s a cracking location in Shoreditch so lots of pre-places to go to.

It’s great for both live and DJ sets and has been such a while since last going, but was worth it totally!

Nice staff, a good crowd and overall a lovely time all around.

P.S. if a late one make sure to check out the bagel shop in brick lane.

Till next time.

Went here for the first time to see Lucha Britannia. It’s a great looking venue, with excellent service at the bar and a decent amount of toilets so the queue was never that huge. There was a fab atmosphere and it’s a good size as well.
