Bar · 30 guests · November 2025 · Front Window Area

Really nice atmosphere, drinks and food. Host Lucy was so helpful in organising everything for us

We asked to cap the bar tab but the tip wasn't included so we went over our allotted budget (work event). We were very happy to pay a tip of course but feel this should have been obvious when asking for the cap.
