"Ally Pally may feel like it’s in the arse-end of nowhere once you’re there, but it’s got the perfect pre-gig spot to get your night started. Max’s is the kind of place where you have so much fun you could well end up missing whatever you’ve bought tickets for. The sandwiches are big, the drinks flow, and the atmosphere is as friendly as they come. And, if you do still want to go to the gig, just jump on the W3 and you’ll be at the Palace in around 15 minutes." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
