I recently went on a hunt for small-medium venues for 30-40 people in and around the city. After all my research, I figured I could share the wealth. I hope this list helps someone in the future!
These prices are for a Saturday night. The capacity I list isn’t the official capacity provided by the venues: it’s how many I personally feel could comfortably fit. And yes “vibey”is a relevant metric!
