"The overall vibe of the place was amazing with the vintage deco."
Cons:
"Shame you can’t walk around too much as it is quite small and dark."
"I'll just mention that the lights were very disturbing, they're only red and they go brighter and darker every few seconds."
"Little disappointed, not what we were expecting. Very dark and the cocktail menu didn't really offer very much unless you wanted Gin or Whisky."
"It didn’t live up to what I’d been expecting."
"Claims to be a speakeasy bar. But first definition of a speakeasy bar, is that you should not be able to find it easily. Entrance very obvious and not really speakeasy."

"Unfortunately we did have a particularly rude waiter."
"When we finally got a waitress, they were not interested in actually answering questions about the drinks like with other tables."
