• "The night of 28.02.20, the DJ wasn't great - kept talking instead of playing the music, couldn't enjoy myself."
• "Disappointing - I had quite high expectations. The place was rather empty (on New Years Eve!!), the lights were too strong for a club, a club should be rather dark."
• "We came here for New Year’s Eve, and the staff and bouncers are nice, however, we spent more time queueing than dancing."
• "Entertainment was meant to be 8-9pm, they began at 8:30pm and ended maybe 9:10 but had a break in between so really only 30mins of show time."
• "Terrible music too, it felt more like an awkward school dance from the early 2000s than a club!!"

• "Burgers wasn't great, but more than made up for it with the nachos and sweet bottomless cocktails."

Cons:

• "Food was very bland, not much flavour, felt like I could’ve bought it myself frozen in the shop."
• "The food didn’t even meet basic expectations, simply very poor quality."
• "The food that did eventually arrive was bland and the burger rolls were stale."
• "Upon finally receiving the food and drink, i almost spat out my beer as it tasted like the last time they cleaned the bar lines was when it was government mandated post black plague."
• "Would not recommend bottomless brunch here."
• "The ground floor is a overly tightly packed flesh press with no room to move."

Management & Staff

• "Our company hired this venue for our work Christmas Do. The service was efficient."

• "Disgraceful management. Paid a £25 deposit for a table and arrived to find no table available."
