Tooting Tram & Social

I got beaten up here for no reason. I touched the light that stands very low under the bar the bouncer then twisted my arm 3 times. The music was very good but I got beaten up for no good reason

This place has great potential to be a great music venue, big open space, great sound, but these guys clearly have little experience putting gigs on. The security were so aggressive and highly strung, shining torches all over the place during a band's performance, harassing people for leaving their bags in the corner. I don't know if this came from their instructions, or if they're just bullies, but it completely ruined the vibe of the night, and for a gig is completely unnecessary. The headline band's set, friends of mine, was also cut short by the sound man without warning. I've been to countless local gigs in London, and I've never seen this before. Usually a venue provides a cushion of half an hour or so to account for bands overrunning, as they inevitably will. Like I say, these guys clearly lack experience running shows. As soon as the music was cut, blaring club music took over, and bands were forced to fight through chairs in the green room to collect their gear, and drunk crowds and lumbering security (who questioned why they were going back stage every time) to get away. Will not be frequenting.

Cool place. Great dj, great vibe
