Another brilliant night, this time for our work Christmas party. We had a reserved seating area by the piano which was great at this busy time of year. Staff had travelled from all over the country and were impressed with this little gem of a place. Excellent pianist, great party atmosphere, everyone up dancing and singing!

Music is really good but the venue is Tiny (hence the 3 stars) They need bigger premises or redesign the current layout! If you book a table good luck trying to get to the bar! No drinks table service offered ! So fight your way through the crowd to get to the bar, the cocktails are good. The venue seems to want to crowd in as many people as possible so if you do make it to the bar be prepared to end up wearing most of your drink going back to the table area after fighting through the crowd. We would have spent much more at the bar if this was offered!
Every time I've been here the bouncer on the door seems reluctant to want to let you in! Or it's the staff inside take ages responding to him on his radio.
Other people were also stood outside trying to explain they also had a booking and weren't being let in.

Amazing place totally visited by chance but i'm so glad we did. Really nice atmosphere and we also had some delicious cocktails too. I loved the way the music was set up and the sound quality was perfect. The artist playing on the night of 17/09/24 was smashing it and we really enjoyed ourselves!

P.S if you see this review feel free to use the pic

It was my wife’s 60th and we booked a table of 7 by the piano. The pianists were amazing, played all our requests from 60’s to modern day and everyone joined in.
Cracking night ! 10/10 ♥️
Will return.
