I had an amazing night here for the euros , brilliant atmosphere and service thanks to the equally brilliant staff. Can't wait for my next visit when I'm down that way.
Celebrated New Years Eve 2022 & 2023 here with friends. We had an absolutely fantastic time on both NYE's. Awesome live music frim the band Solar9. We danced all night. Great atmosphere with friendly people. They have Live music every weekend, throughout the year. Would totally recommend 🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼
Amazing services and great cocktails, especially the slushy cocktails! Highly recommend!
Always have a good night here when there's a live band on playing music that I enjoy. The style of band varies so it's worth googling them and watching a few YouTube videos before you go. Prices aren't stupidly high for drinks, two spirit and mixers plus a bottle of cider was about £14. Plenty of bar staff. The only thing I'd change is adding a few patio heaters. I don't smoke myself but often go out with friends who do and in the colder months some heat would be appreciated!
Went to visit my friend.
