Went to their Cocktail class this week and had such a great time! Liam does a great demo of two Cocktails and you get to try them as well. So tasty!! Some nibbles are passed around also and there is a lovely chatty atmosphere. The bar has been renovated recently and it's bright but still full of character. So nice having a night out and doing something different locally. Absolutely pop in and check it out! Highly recommended!

Friendly staffAtmosphereCocktails
Was there to run an event with The Busker and that place is so great. From bar staff that engage with their customers, to drinks that please.. this is a fab spot for a night out. As a fundraiser for the floods.. the customers were so generous in their giving of support and funds.. a must visit 🥃
Visited a few times while back home for a few days! Absolutely wonderful both times. Excellent drinks and cocktail menu, great prices too! Staff were always attentive and good for a laugh! Would recommend without a shadow of a doubt to all my friends and family 😊 …
