Christmas Party · 40 guests · December 2022
Fun energy, good services. Employees seemed keen and used to deal with (drunk) costumers.
The package drinks could have been a bit better explained as we wanted to use it when our bar tab ran out and we couldn't.

I booked an area for 25 people and we were given a tiny corner table. We should have had at least two tables given to us.
