Customer Review Summary

Live blues music is what reviewers raise most, with several saying it lifts a lively room that others praise for its decor and bar architecture. Food gets nearly as much attention, led by the wings, with both buffalo and Szechuan called incredible. Ox cheek bonbons, crispy fried chicken and a bacon cheeseburger also come up. One reviewer calls the Basque cheesecake with pistachio cream the highlight, another enjoyed the salad taco bowl with prawns and avocado, and whiskey sours and margaritas draw compliments. Service is mostly described as friendly and quick, but it is mixed for some. One diner says a delightful server was followed by two distracted young men, and another found staff a bit rushed when taking orders. A vegan burger was described as little more than salad and pickle that needed more vegetables. One reviewer advises booking a table for dinner, otherwise diners end up eating in the bar. One group celebrating a father's 50th birthday was given a few treats for free.

    “A really memorable dining experience overall. For mains, we had the salmon served with asparagus, potatoes, and a mango, onion, and red pepper mix. The mango and onion combination was a bit unusual for my taste, but everything was fresh, well-cooked, and enjoyable. We also tried the bacon cheeseburger with fries — classic, fresh, and very satisfying. The pineapple juice tasted fresh and refreshing too. Dessert was the real highlight: the Basque cheesecake served with pistachio cream, crushed pistachios, and a cherry compote sauce. The sweet and tangy balance was spot on — easily one of the best desserts I’ve had. We paired it with a red wine, which was excellent. There’s live blues music every night after 10pm, and it genuinely elevates the whole atmosphere — great voice, fun energy, and a really lively vibe. The staff were although they seemed a bit rushed when taking orders. Overall, a fantastic spot with great food, atmosphere, and live music — definitely recommended.”

    “The food here is just delicious! We came in for a Sunday brunch and had crispy fried chicken and burgers. Everything was just amazing and quick to be served. The atmosphere is beautiful and the bar architecture is just a delight. Would definitely recommend a stop by if you’re in Camden. Try and make it work with the evening live music events!”

    “The atmosphere was unreal from the moment we walked in—such a good vibe all evening. The service was spot on too, really friendly and attentive without being over the top. The live music completely made the night. Honestly, so talented and it just brought everything together. And the food… phenomenal. Every bite was packed with flavour—proper comfort food that actually makes your taste buds happy. Definitely one of those places you leave already planning your next visit.”
