Customer Review Summary
Cocktails and the bar staff behind them come up most, with reviewers calling the drinks delicious and the people at the bar friendly and welcoming. One diner was told any cocktail could be made into a mocktail, and another praises a bottomless brunch where the drinks kept flowing. Close behind is the food: the Mancunian Scotch Egg was so good one table ordered a second, while the halloumi burger, beef burger, truffle Parmesan fries and flatbreads with hummus all earn the word delicious. Service is called excellent and attentive, including for a large hen party in the private dining room that needed lots of drinks and help with a projector. The decor is described as quirky and cool, with a live singer noted once. The one caveat is that cocktails are a little pricey and a discretionary service charge is added, though that reviewer did not begrudge it. The mocktail came with a little shot of lemonade in place of Prosecco.
