    Amazing venue in Nuremberg for live music. Was there on a Sumday and managed to buy 2 tickets outside for a sold out show. Venue had 2 stages and 3 bars. Great atmosphere, I highly recommend this place.

    Great music with really friendly crowds! I went there on the 31st night and recently again. The musicians are great! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole vibe. There are several different genres of music available, ranging from techno, electronic to death metal, reggae etc. Really dig the diversity and different sorts of crowds.
