The home of the Sunday Sesh! Honestly couldn’t ask for a better place to dance and sing to! What really makes this spot special is the people. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, and the crowd have such a lovely, welcoming energy. You can tell everyone’s there to have a good time. Great music, great food, great people — couldn’t ask for more! Always going back for more 🖤
Popped in after a theatre visit. Presented our ticket and got a 10% discount. Ordered food n drinks. Pizza was nice rest of food ok. No complai ts
This was a fantastic bar for drinking, with a traditional layout that is fancy too! The map on the wall is a slick addition, mock greenery adds a feel and counter is nicely compacted. I had a cheap bottle of Desperados, sitting at the comfortable chairs on a smooth wooden table!
My daughter booked for just 5 of us to have a nice brunch for my birthday. We were sat there a good 10 minutes before someone came to take our order. We got a drink each then waited another 10/15 minutes for our next! And went on. We maybe had 6 each in the 2 hours we were there. When we finally ordered our food, 25 minutes before our time was up, it came out freezing cold. My son in laws never even got his! I asked to speak to the manager (but obviously he was too busy to listen to our complaint)!!! so a guy came and we come to a compromise. He was very nice and very apologetic about our experience. The other table of 18 people though got a great service!! Never again
Only had a pint on a Saturday afternoon. Not from the area but I can imagine this is a quality gaff for a Sunday sesh! The barmaid was pleasant too 👍
