It's Independent Venue Week this week and I'd love to know what your local independent venue is like. Do they put on lots of interesting, well-attended events? Is it a reasonable compromise of cover bands and indie-schmindie and weirdie-beardie and electronic nights? What else do they do there? Any good ales on? Best gig you've seen there?

Answer however you like. I'm curious how good / band your local one is, and why, basically.
