Cons:

• "The bar staff were laughing and joking around with what I assume are regulars about sleeping with a female and running out of her house."
• "Only two stars for atmosphere as the singer who started at 8pm was very loud and not a very good singer - very grating, in fact we left earlier after about an hour of trying to ignore it."
• "A bit noisy as there was a soccer, sorry, football game on the TV in front of our table and the place was packed out."
• "However, we now avoid visiting Saturday evenings as the live music is way too loud and it's almost impossible to have a conversation!!"
