Went there twice and it was so packed, it is nicer and you can actually breath in the entrance / out side bit. It is really hot and dark inside.The barstaff is nice but always so busy, you have to wait a while. The music is okay,but always Rnb and charts, which is okay but not all the time, some alternative music would be nice.
Quite often I will head up to PSC for a casual wine with colleagues after work. We all love it there as we can grab a table outside (under heaters if it's cold) so both the smokers and non--smokers are happy. There is a great, chilled out vibe here where everyone is welcome and there to just enjoy themselves. At night they have great dance music and make a really good G'N'T!
As i have recently moved into the Ponsonby area, we needed a new local. Ponsonby Social Club has filled that spot nicely. Great atmosphere with a nice long court yard that leads into the bar. We've been to PSC on a couple different nights throughout the week and it is always a pleasure. They often have live bands or special gigs. Maybe could do with a bit more air conditioning inside as it heats up pretty quick inside due to it's size. Definitely worth checking out though!
Have only been to PSC a few times. When it first started it was the "IT" place to go. Now the crowds have kinda moved on to The Longroom, followed by Golden Dawn. Still, it's an interesting bar with a long courtyard perfect for smokers. The interior space is a bit cramp and probably not the best place if you have a massive troop to entertain.
