Reviews
Nice little venue for intimate gigs. Stage and DJ booth. Bar with great selection of drinks. Very much enjoyed the vibe.
Went to an amazing Trans lead event, Dollstep. The venue was amazing super intimate and great vibe. The staff wer phenomenal and not only make sure everyone was safe and looked after but had a lovely warm and welcoming energy. Special shout-out to Holly in the cloakroom who was beyond amazing. My only gripes about the venue, sadly it is upstairs, and being physically disabled this is an issue, luckily I parked right outside the door so was not too much of an issues and staff didn't rush me and showed great patience despite being last out. Second and last negative is that the PA system sounded quieter than I would of liked. Especially for the type of music being played. Quality was great just not loud enough.
Wow what a great little venue. This is my 2nd time at the Jam Jar seeing the Fantastic Supalung. Such a friendly vibe. Very cool stage with underwear theme. Can't wait to go back again.
