  • "The staff were super friendly and were having fun behind the bar, singing along with the songs that was played in the background."
  • "I got served by a man called jay when I got my drink, really friendly/ positive person. Made me a great drink can’t remember what it was but it great lol, would defo come back."

Cons:

  • "Service was SHOCKING this evening… waited 35 minutes AT THE BAR."
  • "Friendly but very slow bar service - waited 25 mins for 4 drinks as bartender prioritised all walk-ups at bar over table service, and was ‘busy’ doing shots."
  • "Terrible service - lost my reserved table to a couple when I went to the toilet. Then tried to dispute it with the ‘manager’ and he said that’s how it goes."
  • "Staff were unbelievably rude and possibly drunk."
  • "Worst cocktail bar I’ve ever been to. Kicked out after 20 min. We were loyal paying customers and they just rushed and didn’t care."
  • "The bar tenders didn’t feel like serving us either as they were too busy dancing when the whole cocktail club was fairly empty."
  • "The staff were friendly but were also drinking behind the bar."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "I loved the vibe in the bar! Party hard from the moment when you enter :-)"
  • "The atmosphere is electric, the stuff know what they are doing and the cocktails are wow!"
  • "Great fun and staff seem to love it too! Good happy hour early on and drinks are decent. What stands out at this place is the tunes! Amazing playlist with not a bad song on it. We were dancing all night. Loved it."
  • "Always always the best atmosphere!"
  • "It was a great atmosphere and a warm welcome!"
  • "Absolutely love this place. So friendly and quirky. Quite loud and almost rowdy but that's part of the fun! Great service, great drinks, great music."
  • "I LOVE this bar! Great music, incredible staff and the cocktails are even better. The atmosphere in this bar is the highlight with staff that are enjoying themselves as much as you are."

Cons:

  • "Music is obnoxiously loud so you can forget about conversation."
  • "The music was the worst kind of dated commercial trash and extremely loud."
  • "So loud and dark. Clubbing music was played at loud from 5pm, you could barely hear what your friends were saying to you."
  • "It was so loud, even by 8pm, I had to shout to hear my friend right next to me."
  • "If you like construction-site level noise from garbage speakers this may be your place!"
  • "Terrible atmosphere and service."
  • "Loud but with really fun music. Great place to go in a group or even as a couple and let your hair down. If the cocktails tasted better, I would've given them another star."

Drinks

Pros:

  • "Prices are very reasonable too."
  • "Cocktails are good, but the volume of the music (from the moment it opens) is so high it makes it absolutely impossible for this place to talk to anyone and enjoy a cocktail in calm."
  • "Cocktails are just amazing including non-alcoholic ones."
  • "Swinging lights, dancing and singing bartenders whilst making great drinks."
  • "They have a pretty impressive drinks menu and the bartender pulls tasty cocktails out of his wizard hat!"
  • "Cocktails were delicious and the staff are really lovely."
  • "The cocktails were just wonderful."

Cons:

  • "Mould in the drink and all over the garnish, free poured drinks, so dirty inside even when it was a completely empty weeknight."
  • "Charged my partner 11 pounds for a 'measure' of Bombay Sapphire and half an already opened bottle of tonic."
  • "Probably the worst mojito I've ever had, just tasted of soda and lime mix."
  • "The cocktail itself tasted mainly sweet tangy and minty only."
  • "Got full paper cup of ice... only crushed Ice for £10.5."
  • "Cocktails (and beers) are massively over priced."
  • "This was the worst bar I’ve ever been to! Overpriced, dirty, unhygienic and ridiculously under poured. The cocktails have barely any alcohol poured in."

Management

Pros:

  • "Spoke to the manager Shane who was super helpful."

Cons:

  • "Than she asked me to leave where I even haven’t had a drink and I asked what I did wrong and she said she is the manager and I don’t need to tell her how to run the business."
  • "Doorman made up a non-existent guest list to refuse entry for whatever reason."
  • "Manager unhelpful blamed head office, the cheek to charge us service."
  • "When I asked to speak to the manager I was informed it was her self and she said we had plenty of time to look at the bill which wasn’t true as it was face down and a card machine shoved in our face."
  • "Such a disappointing experience. I reached out to the cocktail club via email which they'd replied to me previously, and never heard from them."
