The owner was one of the biggest highlights of the venue - very friendly, cordial and down-to-earth. And great taste in music to boot. Overall the venue was the perfect size for our private party. The acoustics were adjustable. We had an external karaoke machine so easily connected it to the laptop and monitor. Would definitely book again.

Ngoc was very easy to communicate with and a pleasure on the night. The pub was beautiful, and had been decorated, which made it feel so welcoming. We got to bring our own food and choose the music. Will definitely book again for any future events!

We celebrated a 30th and 27th birthday here with around 30 people, and it was perfect. The team helped us set up and take down our decorations, and they were incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the entire event. Everyone loved the venue and had an amazing time. Couldn’t recommend it more!
