Booked for dinner on Saturday night before a gig at the Barrowlands. Place was mobbed as expected a gig across the road and the Saturday before Christmas. Its not the biggest of places and the amount of people coming in (fully booked but can come for drinks) but it was too many people! Brushing by the high tables, literally in your face as your trying to eat, awkward eye contact. The food was great and hats off to your staff - 2 servers and 1 behind the bar, but this did impact the experience. Had to ask to take the order, they were so stressed I felt stressed!!! The door just kept opening and opening more and more people, at one point the bar que was 3 deep, this isn't a place for a bar to be 3 deep.

Loved everything about our visit! We had buffalo wings and corn dawgs to start. The wings were really nice. Me, my husband and our daughter never tried corn dogs before but these were seriously outstanding! Daughter had a cheeseburger and chips which she enjoyed! Husband had chilli cheese burger and I’d the buffalo chicken burger which we both devoured! Can’t wait to return! Lovely chilled vibe even though it was a busy Halloween night. Staff were really nice and attentive too. Thank you
