Stumbled across this place while walking by and I’m so glad we decided to go in. Lovely atmosphere and great vibes throughout. The staff were really friendly and welcoming too. Will definitely be back when there’s some live music on!

A beautiful intimate performance venue. The sound was superb. We were in the elevated seats towards the rear and the view was great.

I would like to start by saying I enjoy music at the Howard Assembly Rooms. However, I was disappointed with the recent Banco de Gaia concert. This isn't a criticism of Banco de Gaia but rather the sound quality. The sound lacked depth and bass response. It left the music flat without any musical dynamics.
