    What a night, what a hangover πŸ€• Such a welcoming venue with a fantastic vibe. The back to back acts just kept coming, and coming (no pun intended 😱) and kept everyone entertained all night. Seriously, this is a great, safe, welcoming venue. Highly recommend. As a straight female, I was made more than welcome πŸ€— as the photos prove πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ•ΊπŸ»πŸŒˆβ€οΈ

    Had a fandabbydozzy night there. Lovely guys and girls in there. Shame about the smell of poppers in the air. You cannot have your cake and eat it at times.

    The bar is a bit too loud and made my ears hurt for a long while. I hope they would turn the volume down so that there is not that much vibrations. Could be a health issue, I can’t imagine what the neighbours are feeling

    Only been once … last Saturday. Great entertainment, fun crowd, clean & comfortable space, and great bartenders. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Manager doesn't know how to use a card machine, asked me to leave because the machine said "this might be a duplicate transaction do you want to continue" and he kept pressing "cancel". I asked what would happen if he pressed "yes" and he said he's been a manager for 3 years, to which i replied i've been a shop owner for 13 years. Well, guess what, my card worked just fine 5 minutes later at the lovely Charles Street Tap down the road. I had never been asked to leave an establishment before, that was really quite awful and unnecessary. He could have asked me to go get cash, he could have taken a different transaction in between to see if it made a difference... he just really didn't seem interested to help whatsoever. What a gross experience.
