Great staff, great vibe, great crowd. I've gone here many times over the years and never really been disappointed. It offers its own unique experience. In comparison to the many venues available in the vicinity. There's a nice open area at the back. As well, which is good when it's a bit warm inside, and sometimes there's a nice act going on out the back. Sometimes the loos can get a bit busy, but if you're kind of relaxed on the details; You'll surely find somewhere to go!

Walked into this bar alone not knowing anyone as was made to feel like part of the team. The owner made sure I was taken care of and his staff were so nice . Big shout out to Kitty and Daz so welcoming. Atmosphere was electrifying fully recommend this bar. As a straight women I wanted a place I could go have a drink and feel safe plus enjoy a Friday night out. This ticked all the boxes and to top it off the selection of drinks outstanding and the prices were fantastic too!
