Show Experience
Pros:
"The show was fantastic, I laughed so much, more then seeing a big name comedian!"
"We went to see the comedy magician show at smoke and mirrors. It was very well organised, and is a must see!"
"The magicians were very entertaining - got the audience involved, amazed us and made us laugh - what more could you want!"
"The show is extremely entertaining, humorous and baffling."
"Absolutely bloody brilliant! Went on a Saturday night and the whole night blew me away."
"Had a fantastic birthday celebration here. The show was just brilliant!"
"Awesome awesome awesome show. Not only magic, but super fun."
Cons:
"Unfortunately it's in a squashed room with uncomfortable seating."
"There was nowhere to put my drinks while watching the show so I had to put my beer by my feet which I kept knocking with my foot and having to bend down to pick up."
"Magic and comedy show was okay but slightly underwhelming, the jokes weren't all that laughable and the magic was average at best."
"The performance itself was of a low standard, tending to employ gimmicks that can be purchased in joke shops."
"The magic was lame and not well executed, the comedy was so cheesy and old hat."
"We were looking forward to the nights entertainment but were sadly disappointed."
"The compère (Jessica?) not so, you know when you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed on someone's behalf and wish they would just stop."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"Staff very friendly and welcoming."
"Good service. A small buzzer on the table alerts the waitress on her wrist band 'watch' of your need."
"The staff were friendly enough although the young lady rattled off the wifi password without allowing us to type it in or write it down and seemed agitated when we asked her to repeat it."
"All staff were welcoming and approachable too."
"The staff were so friendly at the bar, the whole pub was so relaxed and cosy."
"Great intimate venue, very friendly and helpful staff, clean, live music."
"The performances were excellent and all the staff were friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Well I always try to visit here while in Bristol, it's a lovely pub. However, the opening times are erratic. Not open when they say they are, and nobody answers the phone either. Poor way to run a business."
"Got asked to leave the premises, when trying to return to my fully paid show due to needing the restroom."
"The bar service was slow, with the staff serving customers badly out of sequence."
"Very intrusive emailing system which reminded me multiple times that I had bought a ticket and listed all the behaviours they would not tolerate and how they would punish these."
Food and Drinks
Pros:
"Loved it, 2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour.. and if you pay to see the comedy and magic show at the back it's 2 for 1 all night."
"Delicious food, amazing concept and wonderful service. A must visit place in Bristol with its unique speak easy environment and delicious vegan options."
"Drinks were great, don't order the pizza unless you just can't make it till after the show."
"Beer is a reasonable price and as a ticket holder you get 10% your orders all night which was a bonus."
"The deal we booked involved prosecco and a shared pizza - both were very nice."
"The prices were fantastic and the pizza was delicious!"
"They are hand made to order & were delicious."
Cons:
"The food was ok and basic, you don't visit this establishment for food."
"I didn't really rate the food but it was a great night!"
"The pizza is on the level of the cheapest frozen kind, mostly very gross."
"The nachos were not good at all but other than that the place is worth a visit."
"The magician was brilliant...apart from that the Bath gem beer was flat, the pizza very poor."
"If you enjoy the simplest of magic tricks being carried by blokes who are stealing a living, you are better off chatting to strangers on the street, do not waste your money."
"They give you no choice of seating and take no account of disability."
