    Great 4 in 1 venue (Bar, live entertainment, food and club) Went for my hen do and sat on the main table. Different acrobatic acts took place right in the middle of our table.

    You try to make it aesthetic with the performances.. fair enough.. but between them please tell the dj to play some jazz, soul something like that, so the aesthetic, erotic mode is still ON!

    In homage to Desmond’s unique recipe, some of the UK’s best bartenders were asked to create tea inspired cocktails. An afternoon of competition, canapés and complimentary “cuppa” cocktails. Read more

    unique, sexy circus gymnastics featuring men and women, whilst you dine on fine Japanese cuisine - make sure you ask to be seated on the main table so you're close to all the action.

    This place is great. We had a few starters, a few drinks and deserts. The show was great and starts every half hour

    Asian restaurant, cocktail bar, cabaret. Bizarre camp dancing. Pre-booking probably a good idea. The largest table *is* the stage!

    The food is meh, mainly for presentation. The show was ok. Seriously overpriced for what it is though. If they upped the food quality it’d be worth it.

    Been here 5+ times
    Last show us usually around 10ish but then a DJ starts - always a ton of energy here. Young crowd on Saturdays (a bit of the 'bridge & tunnel' crowd.

    Food is not great (very similar to pub food), and it's quite expensive. Overall the place is fun and different.
