Staff were lovely and helpful. Place is fantastic for pre drinking before a night out or hanging around with mates. In my opinion, a bit too noisy for a date on the weekends. Vibe was amazing and the staff went above and beyond. Food is amazing but the drinks are a bit on the pricey side. Would recommend 10/10
