  • Sam F. rated it 4.8/5 stars
    'Great, friendly service, although maybe slightly too small a dedicated bar to cater for 50+ people. Although guests headed to the main bar to get drinks so it wasn't an issue in the end. Good music, great sized room for the headcount, lots of seating and cool hidden room.'
