  • "2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour."
  • "So many cocktails to choose from and 2 4 1 made the cocktails even cheaper."

Cons:

  • "Rude staff, expensive beers."
  • "A 330ml can of beer costs £5.50 meaning a pint costs £9.47."
  • "overpriced cocktails"

  • "It's a small location with only a few comfy seating areas, otherwise you're on bar stalls."
  • "Been here a couple of times and would definitely recommend it as a great place to start the evening."

Cons:

  • "Threw my 60 year old mother out because she touched one of the staff's face."
  • "I have arrived at Be at one with 2 of my friends for birthday drinks, and also paid booking and deposit. They had sat us down by the window seal with small bar stools… not even a table?!"
  • "Very small place. Music was turned up while we were in there and was far too loud for an afternoon drink!"

  • "Found it very cramped and the music a bit loud for a Tuesday after work"
  • "if you want to have a good time and dance this is NOT THE PLACE TO GO."
