Sad to see another local (ish) venue struggling. Having opened only a little while before my own bar, I deeply sympathise and have an acute knowledge of how hard it's been over this time.

A definite asset to Sutton supporting many artists, communities, environment and much more.

Always support local and remember the smaller places near you!

Here is their crowdfunding link which explains more...

The Sound Lounge needs to raise £35,000 to keep doors open
