Carlisle's new live music bar was full to the rafters during its opening weekend.
The Live Lounge, at 15 Warwick Road, opened across from the Halston Hotel on October 18.
Ben Read and Kelsey Little, who have previously brought Ballers and Truth nightclub to Carlisle, have opened the venue with hopes of spotlighting local talent and supporting emerging musicians.
Kelsey said the opening night was "better than expected" and the talent they had in was "amazing".
"We opened on the Friday night with Ryan Davidson singing and then the next day we had a private party in which we hit capacity.
"It was incredible, even though we did take an L with the sign," she said.
The bar has adopted an industrial theme with elements of exposed brick and vintage furniture.
This weekend, The Live Lounge will host Sophie Mac and Kirsty Harvey with unlimited 2-for-£12 cocktails.
They will be closed on Saturday afternoon until 8 pm for a private party but will be open as normal thereafter.
