There’s an unusual entrance policy at this black basement box: foreigners get in free so long as they promise to talk about the show on their return home. Expect to see unsigned local punks and rockers tearing up the small stage (the crash barrier in front is evidence of how rowdy things can get). The venue handpicks most of the acts, which keeps the quality high. The free-entry offer applies only to events organised by Mojo, but that means most of them.
