    We had an area booked for drinks for my cousin’s 50th birthday. They let me bring a huge ballon etc that they set up for our arrival. I don’t live in the area but if I did, I’d definitely drink there, it’s my kind of place! Brilliant music, good atmosphere, enjoyed it. Drinks weren’t overly cheap but they aren’t anywhere are they?! Really good night.
