Booked Whole Venue Hire at Simmons | Monument

5.0

I had my birthday party at Simmons Bar, and it was absolutely fantastic! Everything went so smoothly from start to finish. A huge thank you to Nicoleta for setting everything up perfectly. On the night, Taylor was amazing and made sure everything was just right, and the manager Kaleem was super helpful with all the arrangements. The entire team, from the bar staff to the security, were all incredible and made it such an enjoyable experience. I truly had the best night. Highly recommend Simmons for any celebration—great vibes, great staff, and a great time!

Booked Black Parrot Bar at Black Parrot Bar

4.2

Good sized venue for 50 people, and nicely decorated inside. Time taken to make drinks was good and they had 2 bar staff working which was enough. Sound quality for the music was good and let us use our own Spotify playlist. The bar staff employee was nice but the owner/manager was not, see dislikes below).
