Vic M. • March 10, 2018Phenomenal sound. Truly excellent if you are here for a sit down performance, the seats are incredibly comfortable too.

Stephanie D. • August 14, 2016This place has a great vibe, very relaxed. Lovely mulled wine with cognac. The pineapple cocktail is fresh and delicious 👌

Sigrid d. • April 2, 2016Great space for performances. Nearby restaurants Script and Blondie Bar both very good. But book your restaurant early if you're seeing a show as they'll be booked out for walk-ins until after 8pm.
