  “Not the great rock bar it once was, seems to get full of scallys wandering in on a Saturday night, rock karaoke has descended into the same group of people singing the same depressing pop songs occasionally they still have bands on and if the duke box or DJ is on that can make for a good night and there is a good selection of drinks, don’t stand still too long or you will get stuck to the floor also they never have the back room open anymore unless there’s a band on so seating is limited and dance floor is very small! The back toilets are nicer but never open and there’s always a queue in the main ones”

  “Visited in December 2025 to watch a Joy Division Tribute. The rear section has a stage area at the back right. Bit of a strange layout and can't accommodate many but it does create a great vibe and allow for the crowd and band to get close! good sound. Arrive early and make sure you get a good spot!”

  “Always enjoyed this alternative/rock venue, it’s a rough and ready dive bar with good beer and open late. Went last night and it’s plastic cups and generic UK beer, no imported Lowenbrau or Veltins that used to be on. To top it off I got asked to leave mid pint due to wearing shorts! Boulevard is the last place in town I’d have expected to have a dress code especially with some of the weird and wonderful attire I’ve witnessed in there lol.”

  “Performed here alongside my band, had an overall great experience other than the service, felt a little bit rushed and bossed about. The sound and kit is amazing, would definitely love to perform here again. Nice area for us to chill, aswell as places to leave our mark!”

  “Brilliant eclectic bar with a diverse crowd where everyone is made to feel welcome. Great beer on tap, reasonable prices and a (very) late licence. Highlights include the fun quiz on a Thursday where cheating is impossible and anyone stands an equal chance of winning excellent prizes (£100 most weeks), a free monthly heavy metal night, Sunday open mic night and gigs every weekend. A truly great bar!!”

  “Always a lovely night out with friendly staff and locals. Love a Thursday with the quiz and karaoke even if I always end up last. Always an enjoyable night and majority there are very welcoming”

  “Love the gig nights, we go quite often.. Supporting the local bands. Not so keen on the bar side on just "normal or karaoke" nights.. would be better if kept exclusively as a Music venue/rock themed bar 🤘🏻”
