Friendly staff, People.
Luke Dienes
Great small bar. Good drink options and knowledgeable staff offering up different shots as recommendations. Also refreshing to have somewhere different from mainstream music
Wayne Williams
Best little bar I've ever been to. Top service and unbelievably friendly locals.
Fiona Mackenzie
Mini bar, it's where everybody knows your name. Open late. Pretty sure that you could just walk in here and strike up a conversation and it would be all good.
Adam Julian
It starts with a dimly lit corridor and prospects worsen with a conspicuous screen showing action movies with foggy subtitles that would get knocked out by Rotten Tomatoes. Above the screen is a vivid number plate with bold Jack Daniels text. The fine print says, Please Drink Responsibly. No matter how many times you play Scrabble you can’t spell dead-end street with that lettering, but that’s the point. With some cultural adaptability (woke fashion) this place will rock your socks. Endless panache even withstanding the odd Bon Jovi repeat. Thank you, males, females, and gender neutrals.
