I liked the chill vibe, the decor
The sound system-couldn’t queue songs and music was too quiet

The venue was well placed, perfect for private hire and we enjoyed our event very much. The bar was happy to let us get on with our event to our liking, they hosted us despite the Bristol marathon being on and managed to deliver it on time.
The food was tasty but basic and there was no option for any vegetables or salad which made it a bit tricky to feel like the meal was complete. We weren't able to bring any of our own food either so it was very carb and protein focused. However it was easy and tasty.
