Quoted exactly, from the 16 listings of this room's own that carry a write-up. A line prints when the room repeats it on at least half of them; the figure beside it is how many. Groups are keyword-matched, in one fixed order, and a line the keywords do not recognise keeps the company of the line above it or falls to the last group, which is printed and is not called a rule.

Ordered by how much of either room's cast the two share, so the city's biggest room does not head every list.

Related means rooms this room's regulars also keep coming back to — not rooms that feel alike. A regular is somebody billed here on three nights or more.

The listings, the counts of them and every figure derived from them are our own record of what Resident Advisor published. Going-counts and genre tags are Resident Advisor's, relayed. Titles, prices and house rules are the promoters' own words, quoted exactly. The address, capacity, phone, website, follower count and description are Resident Advisor's venue page. Crowd names are ours. Nothing on this page was written for it.
