    Our third time at the venue and we were treated like old friends. The staff are absolutely delightful and truly go out of their way to make everyone feel appreciated, the music is always an absolute pleasure and the overall atmosphere feels more like a house party with old friends than a night out with strangers. Highly recommend! Also, shout out to Jackie - absolutely bar staff extraordinaire!!

    Staff are fantastic. As first timers,first impressions are everything. Jacqui greeted us with a big smile,and kept checking on us all night. I couldn't believe that I waited at the bar for a drink,and the bartender (Mon?) poured me a drink and brought it over for me. It was my 2nd drink and she knew what I was drinking and saved me queueing. I could not believe it. Kade (Security) was friendly and helpful,whilst the manager (Alex?) kept checking on us as well. I just couldn't believe this sort of stuff still went on these days.. Although the drinks were well priced,the food was terrific,and the venue is good,it was the staff that won us over. Don't lose them!! I always try writing a balanced review,but I can't think of a negative. The music was good,it's well set out,and it was a good crowd (I think the staff sets the standard for crowds). If I had to throw something in I'd say maybe a giant screen for the downstairs area. Great place!!
