Excellent venue 👌 THE BEAT were amazing

W.

Amazing venue. A dying breed on the Isle of Wight. This place really is the only establishment to quench your thirst for live music. Real talent on offer too, not just cover bands (however, if that's what you're after they do some incredible tribute nights). The bar is on par with local pubs too, with a fine selection of drinks available. If you want a night of great music come to one of the many shows at Strings.

A. E.

Great venue, finally a good one on again on the Island

W. M.

Because it was the best night out I've had in years.. Not just cos I was part of a gig again and doin' the support slot to the Brilliant Apple Beatles but also because of the great feel about th place.. People were up and dancing maskless and it reminded me of those halcyon , long gone , far away days before all this sad madness that we now live in.. The people there made it a great night too.. People like My old friend Derek Farrell who organised the party and people like th owner of the club and my old pal and band member , Ian Davison.. It Was great to see him again.. A very generous chap who gave me free drinks all night aswell... Ha Ha.. Yeah , a great night and a great venue...

D. S.

Best night out I have had in years. Great act great atmosphere.

J. H.

Great place to watch live music! Competitive prices, friendly staff, great atmosphere.

R. E.

Lovely venue went on a 60s night and it was nice to be able to dance without young adults falling about drunk all over the place. Sophisticated and 'grown up' place to drink and dance.

N. S.

First time here but will definitely be going back. Great mix of acts last night in a really cool intimate venue. Staff were friendly, beers ok, and a great location. Get out and support your independent venues people! If you don't use them, you lose them!

J. A.

It's a pretty good venue and the drinks aren't too overpriced, they could do with controlling the heat though. I've been a few times and even on small seated events the heat is excessive.

R. G.

Excellent! Very friendly staff. Toilets facilities are clean and well serviced.

M. P.

An excellent small venue with a really good atmosphere and live sound. Recommended!

P. H.

Made a 329 mile journey to see one of my favourite bands in the world perform and I can't say I was dissapointed. Anywhere that can make it rain that much confetti deserves 5 stars!

I. O. W. A. A.

Nice size small venue. Great location next to bus station. Drinks are ok priced. Go and see live music. Support local bands..

A. F. w.

Another superb night at Strings. Great staff, relaxed venue and top acts from the island and beyond.

P. f.

Great little venue with wide range of music to suit all tastes

D. D.

Rock and roll! Best place on the island for live music!

I. S.

Fabulous venue, owned and run by musicians for music lovers! Limehouse Lizzy were superb the night we went. Great atmosphere and reasnable prices.

T. C. N.

The only drawback is a physical one - the slippery metal steps up to (and down from!) the venue! Otherwise, a great venue for all kinds of music - and all ages!

S. W.

This is a really good venue in the way it is laid out. Drinks aren't a rip-off and all of the Staff very friendly and helpful. Saturday night was packed to say goodbye after 3 years of the current line-up with over 50 people coming over from the Mainland. Sadly Sam is leaving as the most brilliant lead guitarist and who is the drummer is joining another Band. Stewart was at his absolute best as was all of the Band, Toby who always has a great smile on his face - so enjoying his playing and Acer who tends to hide in the background - was out front quite a bit of this great final night this year. Stewart, Toby and Acer will be back in the Spring with a new lead guitarist who has already played in a Foo's Tribute band and Stewart says that he very good and all his own equipment. He has got a big VOID to fill in the place of the Amazing 22 years old Sam Willis.
