bouncers were really funny and struck up a conversation quickly which is really handy- however the one major issue is the fact that my id (citizencard) was immediately rejected as they assumed it was fake even though this is a legal form of id backed by the police; to improve the experience they should definitely implement a system to verify all forms of id as this definitely hindered my experience.

We popped in for a drink in the way to Manchester Piccadilly station.

The server was pleasant and the beer was great. It was a bit quiet as it was early afternoon.

I dont think there are enough stars to show how amazing these guys are. Booked the venue for a 30th birthday party and they sorted everything out. Decorated the place so so well according to our theme and Bella was an amazing dj. Jackie and Crystal did such an amazing job and everyone was so lovely and made the night. Will be booking everything here
