The Garage, Highbury
Pretty decent and very, very indie-centric North London venue. Attracts a good mix of fresh-faced next-big-things (Andrew WK, The Hives) and wizened old indie godfathers (David Gedge, Stephen Malkmus). A policy of usually including three or four bands on the bill also means you get more chords for your cash.
Club nights and gigs also take place upstairs, in a smaller space known not surprisingly as Upstairs At The Garage.
