| It's a very small venue, you're looking at chicken wire on the ceiling, so jumping is not advisable. There are plenty of seats and you can quite happily chat away between tunes. The drinks are expensive, but it's generally a good idea to get a few down you in the Tap anyway. |

| very good for getting into rock city on a saturday night. the queue for the rig is always shorter and always goes down quiker. then you've got the coat place on your left. get rid of your coat, grab a drink and make your way upstairs to rock city. |

| The first Goth venue I went to in Nottingham was Sanctuary. Used to be held once a month, now infrequently for some reason. Selected drinks (Strongbow, Heineken, and a couple of others) are cheap at £1.50 a pint. If you like the Sisters, All About Eve, Damned, Pixies, Dead Kennedys...you'll LOVE this place! Last time I went there, I met an Angel... :o) |

| Oh, what a many splendoured thing the Rig is!!!! Usually hilariously funny if only thanks to the spandex clad mulleted hordes that gather in its bowels on a Saturday night. Always seems to be a good atmosphere and the stage (echos of school discos here?) is perfect for air guitaring and posing on. Beer is ruinously expensive but the Tap n'Tumbler isn't far away!!!! |

| i went to my first ever sanctuary night last night (halloween!) and it was brilliant. the best night i have had so far. all the songs were the popular songs by various goth/80s bands, but they acutally played goth and 80s, so i was happy (not many other places play traditional goth, or 80s even though they like to advertise that they do)the entrance was cheap, one pound with a student card before 11, or two pound without, and the drinks were cheap too. best night ever!!! i just wish it was a more regularly event. |

| you are more likely to hear goth played in here than in the rest of rock city on a saturday night. the occassional temple of love typem, and not much else, but it is goth! and you won't get anything else goth played anywhere else here. drinks are pricey on saturday.
monday night are 80s night. mike will alternative songs and new romantic stuff, as well as your usual pop stuff. will play anything you ask for, except dephche mode, cos he hates them! drinks are dirt cheap, 1 pound for the most part, as is entrance. a great place to go. used to be full of goths, now it isn't, but it's still great. and you don't always get the same thing played every week either. occassionally you will get something that you haven't heard in AGES! |
