The venue was decorated with a lot of black paint and black plastic, and utilised harsh lighting.

Gary Havoc and the Hurricanes'' played there on 14 and 15 September 1979. The venue had a capacity of 150. 

The venue changed its name to [[Jupiter's]]. While Jupiter's, the venue played host to Auckland punk bands ''Terrorways'' and ''Proud Scum''.
