Great place for families or teenagers interested in music memorabilia. Lovely vibe. Generous portions and good choice of American style grills and burgers. The service was excellent. There was a delay with food being served due to being fully booked which staff were very apologetic about. We loved how it has hardly changed since the 90's so very nostalgic and pleasant experience
