Amazing venue, vibe, location and overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I’m sure they’d love to get their liquor license, but BYO works fine for us. They were short a few staff, but everyone was very nice, and of course it’s early days. Food was good, we’ll be back!

The club has changed the menu again and it’s very limited with not a lot of great choices. Many favourites have disappeared which is disappointing. Trying to push you into new dining venues which are expensive. Bring back the classics!
