Really disappointed again with asking for a margarita cocktail. Last time it was served in a tumbler this time I was asked if I wanted it strained and again if I wanted salt. When you’re paying £8 you expect an amazing tommy style drink which it is not. Lovely upbeat staff but the venue smells very damp.

Really lovely place to go, staff really sweet and very accommodating, was very busy so seems a popular place! Cocktails were lovely, shame they don’t sell crisps and nuts haha but apart from that overall very good experience there

The atmosphere and staff were so unbelievably friendly, the decor was stunning and perfectly suited the era. Loved the paper menus, really did feel like you’d walked back in time. The cocktails were to die for, strong and served with a smile!

Service slow, place smelled of damp, too bright inside meaning there was a lack of atmosphere. Probably wouldn’t go back. We didn’t eat

Very expensive for what it is, upmarket cocktail bar prices in a weatherspoons like bar. Really disappointed the “cocktail” bar served a very poor selection of Gin considerably overpriced.

We found it too dark and the acoustics meant that other slightly loud tables were amplified, especially when they were singing. We did not have any food.
