    Great little bar for a quiet drink or a long afternoon of cocktail grazing. Some delicious little share plate offerings to help make drinks with friends even better. Has become our local workplace gathering spot that always winds up as a fun occasion.

    Excellent experience. When staff were informed I was Coeliac they gave me a Gluten Free Menu which had all Gluten Free dishes and options highlighted, so easy to read and loved not having to search for Gf in small print beside items on menu. M I felt so spoiled and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. So happy to be made feel special rather than "different" because I'm Coeluac. I'll definitely be a return customer!
