Average food. Would only bother with drinks next time.
Nice food, but it is not particularly easy to see the live music from the restaurant tables.
LittlelaluntaAugust 16, 2016If Ain't Nothing but blues are full, just come here... Hahaha well performance too 😁
Not easy here, but try to leave room for dessert. The Oreo doughnuts are outrageously good.
Shamsa AbdulrahmanDecember 2, 2019Too loud, you can't enjoy the live band playing. There was NOTHING special about the food, not the southern fried chicken or their burger. Nope.
Tiago Teixeira CorreiaNovember 6, 2014Try to sneak into the Camper Van in the back, and watch some old VHS tapes.
Lidia VorontsovaJune 3, 2015not sure where all the negative comments about the food are coming from. we found it delicious, and the chilli... the chilli is amazing. the atmosphere is amazing too. will definitely be back soon!
Const HtMarch 8, 2016Live music and burger, that's it. It's good but it's bit expensive for what it is.
BBQ was terrible, live jazz ok. Go for a drink but don't eat!
- DaniellaAugust 21, 2017Free blues music every night - what's not to love? Beer selection is not huge but they have a fair selection of cocktails.
Christina ChristodoulouApril 1, 2018Great cocktails! Was attending a party in the cosy Airstream Caravan. Great party venue.
Emma YoungerFebruary 16, 2016Had high expectations, my food came 35 minutes after everyone else's and it wasn't even meet. Very sad, food wasn't really worth the wait either
Tom HalpinMarch 25, 2017Very good selection of whiskeys and beers, but the live music is the standout reason to come here. Two great acts last night!
