Birthday Party · 18 guests · July 2026 · The Drivers Lounge

Gloria, our server, was INCREDIBLE! I have to give her some credit as serving a hen party can't always be easy. We had such an incredible time and the bride loved every minute of it. The room was perfect and everyone had such a good laugh.

The venue and room was the perfect size for our event and we loved how private it was. The food was amanzing and the staff lovely. We all had as fab time

I had asked that a provision was given to a handful of people who had dietary needs and unfortunately this was not met. If this had been catered for then the venue would have been five stars.

Bar · 40 guests · December 2024 · Argyll Suite

Really good process from start to finish, Manahatta staff communicated really well and everything was organised well. Absolutely lovely venue, and the food was great. Thank you

Some of the bar staff didn't know about the drinks vouchers which meant a bit of a delay at the bar, but this didn't cause too much of a problem.
