点评:I have attended twice in last two months. Firstly I love live music and small venues and
appreciate the physical challenges of them v a large venue . 1. Seating. Not great. This venue is geared solely towards groups. The seating does not suit couples or even groups of four. Most tables are for groups of 8 which is the only size you can pre-book. Even then you sit 4 either side of a table which is not a great layout for music. What does this mean? Singles/couples either have to share one of the non-prebooked tables with strangers (didn’t look like there were many non pre-booked) or stand at the back near the bar as it’s the only area left. Not much room there either. Then when the music starts people with seats come and dance at the back as there is no real space either side of their tables or at the front. So the only space you’ve got gets encroached on by people who actually have seats. 2. The food. Low quality. 3. The alcohol. Only drank beer but $10 a schooner. 4-5 beers a night = equiv of a case of beer. I guess the norm for inner west but Botany Bay Hotel the night before for a music gig with $7 schooners. 4. Toilets. Nothing a good clean couldn’t fix. 5. Overall. Seating arrangements ruined the night on both occasions. Even getting to the 2nd gig 30 min early made no difference. Literally every seat was taken. Alright if you’re in a group of 8 or more but screw everyone else was the message I got. I won’t be returning anytime soon or recommending to anyone else. Shame as the music was great.
翻译:在过去两个月里,我参加了两次。首先,我喜欢现场音乐和小型场地,
并且我很欣赏它们相对于大型场地的体力挑战。1. 座位。不太好。这个场地仅面向团体。座位不适合情侣,甚至不适合四人团体。大多数桌子是为 8 人团体准备的,这是唯一可以预订的座位。即使这样,你也要坐在桌子两边的 4 个人之间,这对音乐来说不是一个好的布局。这是什么意思?单身人士/情侣要么必须与陌生人共享一张未预订的桌子(看起来没有很多未预订的桌子),要么站在靠近酒吧的后面,因为这是唯一剩下的区域。那里也没有多少空间。然后,当音乐响起时,有座位的人会来到后面跳舞,因为他们的桌子两边或前面都没有真正的空间。所以你唯一的空间被真正有座位的人侵占了。2. 食物。质量低劣。3. 酒。只喝啤酒,但一杯啤酒要 10 美元。每晚 4-5 瓶啤酒 = 相当于一箱啤酒。我想这在内西区很常见,但前一天晚上在 Botany Bay Hotel 举办音乐演出时,啤酒要 7 美元。4. 厕所。没有什么是打扫干净不能解决的。5. 总体而言。两次的座位安排都毁了晚上的演出。即使提前 30 分钟到达第二场演出也没什么区别。几乎每个座位都被占了。如果你是 8 人或更多人,那还好,但其他人就别想了,这是我得到的信息。我不会很快再来,也不会推荐给其他人。可惜音乐很棒。
