I had a fantastic experience at this bar for me and friends (graduation party) a key weiter was Julio, who was especially helpful, extremely attentive and genuinely went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The rest of the staff were also incredibly kind, respectful, and understanding, which made the whole atmosphere feel welcoming and relaxed.
Service was impressively quick, and the drinks were excellent and very well-crafted and exactly what we were hoping for (extra alcohol than usual). You can really tell the team here goes above and beyond for their guests. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area, for date or for a small party. Thank you again guys for looking after me and friends.

Insanely busy after work hours. Nice vibes though if you’re lucky enough to grab a seat.
Lots of tables were reserved but took the risk of sitting on one and luckily no one came to claim it.
Paid £13 for a margarita. It was decent nothing crazy but my friend ordered an Aperol spritz and wasn’t happy with it.
Pint of beer cost £9.
Upstairs seating but not much outdoor seating in the terrace, definitely better downstairs on a sunny day.
If going around 5-8pm would recommend booking a table beforehand.

Popular LGBT space and ally friendly. Regular ‘meetup’ events hosted. Enthusiastic management who pour a lot into it. Very cute courtyard enclosed space. Most expensive pints around.

Lovely bar, cosy seating by the bar and then more in the courtyard and rooftop.
Great cocktail. Fun atmosphere.
Couldn’t get food as the kitchen had closed already so just had some bar snacks.

I’ve been coming here from time to time for about 7 years and am really surprised that I never wrote a review.
It is always my go-to when in the area since the venue gives off a nice vibe.
The service is always friendly and fast.
Bathrooms and premises are well looked after.
Definitely recommend it as a really welcoming queer place with a pleasant atmosphere.
