No capacity figure of any kind is on record
This venue publishes no usable figure, no figure readable off its own pages, and no posted headline. Nothing sizes the room, so nothing below capacity can be tested — layout, flow, service ratios and exit provision all divide by a number that does not exist here.
Ask Ask for usable seated and standing capacity for the room you would hire, then a drawn layout at your headcount.
What would have to change
No capacity figure exists on record — the room is unsized.
None of this is a judgment on the venue. It is a statement about the record as it stands today — most of these are one phone call away from being answered, and the answers would change the reading.
What is known
Everything below comes from a source I can show you, with the date I read it. Most of it is what the venue says about itself, so treat it as a starting point and confirm what matters in writing.

Questions to ask before you book
Ask for the answers in writing. A friendly yes on the phone rarely survives a change of staff, and these are the things that usually come up after a deposit is paid.

Walk in operating order
Do not tour the venue as a sequence of attractive rooms. Walk the event: arrival, access, exact layout, peak service, production, fallback and commercial close. The questions below are the unresolved parts of this record placed into that order.
Four things to leave with
- Measure geometry that changes the plan.
- Photograph routes, thresholds and technical positions.
- Obtain the current document or itemized quote.
- Name the owner and deadline for every open answer.
01 Arrival & access
The event starts before the room and accessibility is a continuous chain, not an entrance feature.
- Arrival & access question 1. Ask for a floor plan showing arrival, coats, bars, service routes and exits at your headcount.
- Arrival & access question 2. Ask for a photographed route from the drop-off point to the restrooms, with every change of level marked.
Capture Photograph the route from set-down to the room and restroom. Measure any narrow, steep or ambiguous point and name every level change.
02 Room & layout
A published maximum is not proof that the event objects and people fit together.
- Room & layout question 1. Ask for usable seated and standing capacity for the room you would hire, then a drawn layout at your headcount.
- Room & layout question 2. Ask for a seated layout at your headcount with tables, dance floor and service aisles.
- Room & layout question 3. Ask for the indoor fallback, its seated capacity, and who decides when it is called.
Capture Get the room drawing, then mark doors, columns, fixed objects, stage, bars, dance floor, service lanes and egress on the exact event layout.
03 Service & guest flow
The empty room can work while peak service creates crossings, queues and missing holding space.
- Service & guest flow question 1. Ask for the available service in amps, the distribution points, and what house AV is included.
- Service & guest flow question 2. Ask whether catering is exclusive, and what kitchen exists on site in writing.
Capture Walk food, beverage, clearing, waste and guest queues at their busiest moment. Photograph holding and storage space, not just front-of-house finishes.
04 Production & load-in
A room that says it has AV or power may still be unable to carry the actual show file or supplier path.
- Production & load-in question 1. Ask for the amplified-sound cutoff in writing, and who enforces it on the night.
Capture Photograph the load path and technical positions. Obtain current power, rigging, network and house-AV specifications and identify the technical owner.
