Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most to the bar staff, describing bartenders as friendly, welcoming and quick to engage, with one team busting jokes with every customer and another bartender singled out for drinks knowledge. Cocktails are the close second draw: guests mention cocktails served in teapots, the Tiki Tiki menu where bartenders helped them try new drinks, lively piña coladas and a good range of non alcoholic options. Atmosphere and music come up repeatedly, from a chill Thursday with space for dancing to a Hip Hop Brunch where staff danced on the bar and the crowd stayed engaged. A few mention great deals and nice prices, and one says service stayed quick even when the venue was busy. One reviewer with a weaker earlier visit describes a booking for a large group going smoothly, with the party shown to its table on arrival. Another, tired after a long Saturday, says a bartender suggested a tequila shot alongside their first cocktails, and the group left having found a new spot.

“Came in and instantly was greeted by the team members! Amazing team working behind the bar despite only three of them, believe their names were Caitlin, Ethan and Reece. All three were busting jokes and engaging with every customer and myself included. They spoke about some sort of review competition going on and i just had to leave a review for all 3. Ethan’s knowledge on drinks was superb. Will definitely be coming back just to hang out with them!”
