Coming from a gig lover who enjoys big venues, this venue is an incredible venue even from its smallness! It’s a great venue with an incredible atmosphere. They’ve done great with dividing the bar and the seating area with the open floor to dance, mosh/circle pit and sing along to the songs. Their technical system (lights & sound etc…) adapts really well for different genres such as, rave music and rock. Really enjoyed my time here and loved the band (The Wonder Years if you wanted to know). I hope to come here again and enjoy it again! Overall a great venue! Thank you!

Amazing venue. Came for a drum and bass evening. Nice lighting behind the bar. The sound system was awesome, though maybe a tad quieter than would of liked for this kind of event. Seating plentiful, drinks decently priced. Not overly crowded (think because of another event on). Friendly staff, quick entry. Toilets always had toilet roll!, always a cubicle free. Would come here again for an event!

Love this intimate venue to watch live bands! We have seen Rag n Bone man before he was huge and watched Sunset Sons last night! Big bar, small stage, great sound and feels like old school grass root venues! So much more character than the BIC and it shows in the audience response! 😁🤙 Not just for students! 😉

I've just left the "Suddenly Funk" night where I was interrogated on the door and asked how much I've had to drink all whilst I am genuinely in one of the most sober states of my entire life... I had drank one can of 4% cider FYI. The bouncer ultimately let me in regardless (which is a questionable decision if he really did think I was in a dangerous way) but not without making a wildly inappropriate comment along the lines of "we'll see if you're still standing by the end of the night". Does he wish that I'm not able to stand come the end of the night? What exactly is he planning on doing? The bouncer in question is a large man of African descent, I hope my feedback regarding his behaviour and conduct will be passed on. This entire situation has left me feeling very confused and quite frankly, rather annoyed, not to mention unsafe in my own student union bar.

Upon entering the nightclub, I tried to forget about it and made the best attempt to have a good time, even ordering a drink at a extortionate price from the bar. However, the fun atmosphere and good vibes promised were nowhere to be seen and I was even denied a picture with my best friend by a male photographer with curly hair and a mullet, who, bearing in mind, had previously taken MANY photos for other people and simply shouted "Later!" to us, in a very rude manner. It's safe to say I didn't stick around for much longer as admittedly, by that point, my back was officially put up. I will never step foot in this establishment again despite being a Bournemouth University student myself.

I only wonder if my discontent stems from the fact that I am a slightly older fresher (20 years old) and during this time may have developed standards that exceed drinking a bottle of vodka straight up, in a dimly lit park, on a cold wintery night.

I can think of a magnitude of ways in which I would rather spend my first year of university than ever come to "The Old Fire Station". I cannot believe that I payed £10 entry just to experience...

Extremely disappointed. Drove for over 90 minutes to meet friends and see PWEI (Pop Will Eat Itself) tonight, only to be turned away because I didn't have a wristband (why would I? I've just arrived), as they'd closed the doors at 8pm. It wasn't full. No explanation given, the guy in the flourescent tabard was either an unthinking jobsworth or didn't want to tell me. Well done organisers, you've lost £60 in ticket sales, plus drinks, and made somebody never want to visit your venue again. Zero marks also to Bournemouth Council and their moronic pay by phone car parking scheme that wasted 20 minutes of my life and several pounds for nothing. Well done...

Went to a Monday propaganda night and on the door it was £6 CASH! so bring cash! The DJ was cool but overall I simply dont understand the music choices?? On the website it said paramore and tame impala but I heard maybe 1 song from each over 4 hours, I think I remember there only being like 4 good songs over 4 hours. Otherwise okay venue I would come here again but maybe on a different night to see the music. Also I saw other reviews about the curly hair photographer and he would only take a pic of me if I was with my male friends? He would otherwise ignore us....
