The bar was nice and so were the drinks, but the bloke behind the bar, can only guess is one of the owners, told one of us he couldn’t be arsed to make a cocktail when we ordered the other night. I get that it was late, but it was a little rude tbh.

A fantastic bar with a genuinely friendly atmosphere and a real sense of community. The staff are always attentive and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. Prices are very reasonable, and the quality you get is great.
They host excellent events, including live artists that really add to the vibe. The cocktails and coffees are top-notch, and there’s a great selection of bottled and tap drinks, plus a solid range of spirits and wines.
Overall, a brilliant place to relax, socialise, and enjoy good drinks. Highly recommend!
