This is by far one of the best venues ive had the pleasure of putting on an event at! Lovely location, the staff and door staff were amazing. Cant thank Gemma enough for her hospitality, and hard work during our event! Even on the lead up to our night Gemmas dedication and support for us stood out tenfold. Her passion for Zed Alleys success is amazing! I highly recommend this venue for any promoters future events. Thank you Gemma, Thank you Zed Alley 💯💯💯💯💯
Zed Alley is incredible, the manager Gemma bends over backwards to assist you in every way possible. The venue is wicked and we were looked after from start to finish. Would definitely come back here again
Wow, what a trustworthy bar! I saw the owner replied in the negative reviews on Google Maps that the noise would stop at 11 or 12 pm But what about the truth? Now it's 1 am, midnight!!! the noise is still disturbing the neighbors. So civilized!👍😍😍😍😍🤭
Cracking venue. Visited many times from just being a punter, booked to DJ and also as promoter putting bands on. Good friendly space for alternative people with a very reasonable bar with good beers on tap such as Shipyard as well as sensible priced non alcohol drinks and a range of non alcoholic beers like Zero Guinness. Top little space to dance the evening away.
