Basic safety rule is use a speaker/cab that has more ohms impedance than the output supplying it. There will be a little loss in volume, but nothing to worry about. If the house cab was 4ohms, and you used the 8ohms out from the amp, that wouldn't be a good scenario. Always worth checking what the actual impedance of someone else's cab is, before plugging in....
