The Dome

A fantastic live music venue. The stage is nice and high so you can get a good view of everything from any part of the venue. The staff are all super friendly and access to and from the venue is really easy.

Superb venue and location! I saw a band here last night, and the venue is literally a 2-minute walk from Tufnell Park Tube Station. Super convenient. It’s small and cozy, holding around 500 people—intimate, but not too intimate. Now, let’s talk about the lighting. Or should I say, the blinding? Not sure if it was the band or the venue that decided on the setup, but I felt like I was staring directly into the headlights of an oncoming train. The bright white light was so intense I started wondering if I’d accidentally wandered into a dentist's office mid-cleaning. Seeing the band? Forget it. At this point, I’d recognize them better in a police lineup. And then there was the strobe light. Wow. I don’t have epilepsy, but after last night, I think I got a free trial. Between songs, the crowd was audibly comparing notes on whether this was a concert or a covert interrogation. One person joked they felt like they were in a club scene from a low-budget sci-fi movie. Great venue otherwise, though. Just bring sunglasses and maybe a disco ball so you can reflect some of those beams back at the band.

Nice small grassroots venue. Staffed seemed friendly, and sound was good but a little quiet. When I attended, there were not many people in the audience.

Been here several times to see various bands, the most recent being Canada's own Panzerfaust. This venue has been around forever, but following the closures of London stalwarts like The Mean Fiddler they were one of the spots that really picked up the slack and I have to say: I'm not mad at it. The folk who work here are always friendly. The bathrooms aren't anywhere near the horror show of The Underworld. Drinks are reasonably priced considering it's London. And most importantly, the layout of the main floor and stage is great and allows you a good vantage point of the action no matter where you're standing. As an aside, Panzerfaust delivered one of the greatest sets by a black metal band that I can recall seeing in over two decades of regularly attending gigs.

Really friendly staff and great gig! (Handfest) Plenty of room to dance and move, quick bar service and decent outside area.

The venue was good. The bars were good and reasonable priced. The bands were awesome. On street parking was free for the evening. The only issue was a technical sound issue with the microphones - they couldn't manage to increase the volume of the microphones so the vocals be heard over the other instruments.

Great venue, old style, intimate gig. Easy to get to, friendly staff and a table to perch on.

Unusual venue with high ceiling, hence the name. Its small size means popular bands aren't likely to play here, although I was fortunate to see Code Orange as a warm-up gig for Download. Sound quality and visibility of the stage were good.
