I had no issues with the venue, from security to the bar staff. Security was perlite, bar staff went beyond the call of duty to ensure the VIPs were taken care of. Mac is a good manager and host. The screen and sound tech were very helpful. We had a lovely morning.

Everyone commented on how lovely the bar staff and security guys were, and Jess the manager was very helpful indeed. We’d thoroughly recommend The Rat Bar to others for a private party.
