Think of a similar atmosphere to London’s most ‘exclusive’ (or not) private members club but sexier and a whole lot gayer, with cocktails that aren’t just served out of a tap. We’re talking a line-up of carefully crafted quaffs and non-alcs that actually gets you excited to decipher the menu.

The steak was absolutely delicious, and the waiter was incredibly nice and friendly. While we waited for our steak to be cooked from medium to medium-well, they kindly offered us complimentary fries, which was a lovely gesture. The ambiance was great, and the food was outstanding. Even the toilets were clean and smelled fresh, which added to the positive experience. Everything was perfect. I have no complaints and will definitely visit again!

What a great little venue! We had a small blip to start, but the staff were amazing at getting everything sorted. Would highly recommend for something a little different for a drinks venue.

My first visit to the cigar lounge was exceptional. The staff took their time to explain the history and cigar-making process, making it an educational and enjoyable experience. They had almost all varieties of Cuban cigars. A great spot for both beginners and enthusiasts
