• "We were reserved a spot by the fire pit and we really enjoyed the great music, cocktails and lively but friendly atmosphere."

Cons:

• "Though it has a few floors it feels cramped."
• "It's ridiculously busy at the weekends though, and you won't get upstairs without a reservation."
• "Roof terrace (when you finally manage to get in) desperately in need of smoking and non smoking tables."
• "Way too crowded! They let in more people than there is actual capacity for."
• "I did find that there was a lack of seats, and the music did not seem very upbeat."
• "By the time we got upstairs it was so unbelievably rammed that it was not enjoyable. A lot of after-work crews. The view is also not very impressive."

Staff & Service

Pros:

• "The bar staff on the terrace were very helpful and attentive which made the environment very welcoming."

• "Every staff member, security person + bar tender is so kind and welcoming."

Cons:

• "Security guard was extremely rude and kicked me out just because I didn't leave my bag in the cloakroom as he asked."
