The drinks were some of the worst I have ever had! We couldn’t believe it. The toilets were also absolutely disgusting.

Awful service especially from one female bartender who told me that despite the fact that I had booked a table, they had let too many other people who hadn’t booked in and did not feel they could turn those people away. She was not at all apologetic and simply shrugged and smiled when I expressed my dissatisfaction and disappointment. In the end, I found my own table (albeit with only 2 chairs for a group of 4). The same bartender said that there no more chairs in the whole venue and said we would have to make do with only 2 of us being seated at the table and 2 people standing. I then went to the outside area and immediately found 2 more chairs so it was clear that she had not looked properly. Horrific service especially given I had pre-booked. Incredible music from the DJ- the only saving grace.

For a cocktail bar, drinks were pretty slow. Waited about 15 mins for two basic cocktails. Music was good but just way too loud if you wanted to have conversation with the person you were sat next too. - didn’t have any food

Arrived at 8:30pm, having booked a table. Ordered our drinks around 8:40pm. Waited about an hour for our drinks, we could see the bar had clearly lost our ticket. Got asked if we wanted more drinks but still hadn’t had our first. Left without being served. Table that arrived behind us after us, ordered the same amount of drinks, got theirs before hand and there was no sign of our drinks. One in my party has said he won’t return, it was his first time at your establishment.

Best vibe of any bar on Gloucester Road. Amazing drinks (recommend the Cloudy Bristol!). DJ was great.

The one cocktail we managed to get was lovely but there was not enough staff so in the hour and a half we were there we only managed one drink - definitely won’t be returning!

Cocktails were all too sweet and not made to the 'classic' recipes so did not taste like they were supposed to. Music was too loud and acoustics were bad Staff were lovely though!
