Customer Review Summary
Food leads the praise at this student-run bar, with reviewers pointing to the nachos and the fries as standouts and describing the dishes as tasty, filling and well presented. Several call the food cheap and good value, and one singles out the lunch deal for the amount of food it brings. A bottomless bao bun brunch gets a mention too, with one reviewer finding the unlimited drinks within the time slot still awesome value, and another pairs yuzu food with boba. The all-student staff are described as friendly, efficient and quick, and one visitor found the bar spotlessly clean. Drinks are called decent and reasonably priced, apart from the gins, which one reviewer finds pricy. The recurring complaint is the wait: one reviewer reports quite a long wait, another calls the food worth a bit of a wait while watching the clock before an event, and one finds the seats not the best though they do the job. Reviewers also describe it as great for social groups and a go-to spot on campus for work and socialising.
