    We have been a couple of times for birthday celebrations and absolutely love it. The friendly staff provide excellent service and the chocolate slate is such a lovely touch. £5 entry to listen to some fantastic performances on a weekend is a steal!

    Never been before and was a little apprehensive before I went. Only because I didn’t know what to expect and was coming out for a night out and wanted it to be a good night. It was fabulous it’s only a small tight nit venue and the atmosphere was lovely. Everyone was in good spirits singing and dancing along to the music. The musician put on a good show with songs we all recognised. The cocktails are amazing and the waiters were lovely. I will definitely be back

    Really enjoyed our evening, the music and the cocktail menu! We didn’t have anything to eat. Harriet Eaves with Nathan Jarvis accompanying on the piano - outstanding performers- really enjoyed the eclectic choices and Harriet’s voice is amazing.
