Great service and atmosphere. The friendly and very attentive bar tender added great value to our time spent in the pub. The nachos were delicious. Many thanks 🙏🏽✨️

The draft beer selection is very limited but the service from the bar staff is good. The only negative aspect I had was that I was told they were closing with (literally) less than a minute warning. My drink was still about half full. I would have appreciated an earlier heads up, as having to pack and leave in less than a minute was too rushed and uncomfortable. The hours of operation are not listed anywhere. It just says they operate ‘until late.’ I’d suggest posting the hours of operation for the day somewhere that is visible to customers to avoid situations like the one I experienced yesterday.

Please be VERY careful of this place. Someone decided to steal my bag. I caught them heading for the fire exit. What shocked me the is the staff tried to defend them! Keep a close eye on your belongings. The venue has warning signs, but this behaviour is justified by the staff 😒
