Caught up with a mate for lunch and a few refreshments. The staff were great, the beer hit the spot and the BBQ tasting plate for 2 was sensational. The brisket and beef ribs were absolute standouts. We’ll definitely be back.

The food was basic, burger… just a burger, no salad etc, loaded fried in a small cardboard container food truck style and only just warm. When ordering at the bar I understand there is a different till for drinks but I couldn’t order them at the same time, the bar attendant moved on to serve others waiting for drink even though I had been there longer. Selection of wine was just boxes, no decent bottles. Very underwhelmed, it used to be a great little bar with a wonderful wine cellar as well as a great selection of beers. It is a shame it’s gone down hill

Loved everything about this place. The food was so tasty. Shared platters, salads, potacos, nachos. Yummy. Love the ambience and the live music. The guy even sang happy birthday to my friend as I requested on really short notice. So grateful. She loved it. Friendly and helpful staff. My party all said we’d come back again. ✅✅✅

I've been wanting to return to this place for years and with the BBQ there, we came on Saturday night. Food and service was great, even the neurodiverse kids enjoyed it. We'll be back for sure.

Venue is great, live music was perfect however the use of American liquid cheese was disappointing! Nachos and loaded fries weren’t great at all, other food was good, very basic meals.
