Blackbox Hastings Concerts

Lovely small venue in Hastings with good sound and sight lines. The bar was varied and reasonably priced, the toilets were clean and the staff were really friendly. I look forward to returning in the future.

Been a couple of times, venue is ok. Only the one main room, with two chairs to sit down on, which when dancing till 3am would be nice to have a few more seats, but obviously no room. Main issues are toilets and drinks. Only one toilet working in the ladies as the other one was blocked due to flush button no longer working. Drinks - first 3 I asked for they were out of. When I first went back in September they ran out of water and it was boiling hot in the venue. Need to sort the basics out! Toilets and drinks!

Nice little venue and bar which I went to recently to watch an IWN wrestling event. Only negative is the amount of steps up to the hall itself, which could be an issue for disabled people and those who struggle with lots of steps. There may be disabled access somewhere, but couldn’t see it from where we entered.

Visited last night to watch Mark Chadwick, nice intimate venue BUT the Beers are an absolute disaster, even the performers commented on it from the stage. Given the bar prices it's clear the venue wants to make £££ from the captive audience - that is in principle fine, but not when the majority of the Beer is off and pints are being served to customers that then get returned. We were serviced two pints of Brixton which was off, I mean really bad the bar staff tasted it and reeled back from the taste, swapped to the Italian Lager, had one pint then that went off - this is while we are only in the support act! Then we are only left with Heineken - which was at best Average. Shame to invest in this venue AND attract a fantastic act AND get a good crowd BUT not have invested in someone who can provide a simple pint of Beer. Please learn from this and reply with how you will improve the situation.

Great little venue, couple of teething problems with the sound but soon rectified
