Five questions about the building, not the gig

Nobody has said what this room sounds like

3,106 concerts logged here and not one answer yet. Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what The Water Rats is actually like to stand in. There's room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.
