Really lovely staff, very attentive and speedy cocktails done amazingly! Only thing I would say is that the seat we were in, it’s a tight fit which proved a bit awkward when going the toilet. Not a big deal though and pretty much perfect

Didn't have any food - the survey should maybe have an N/A option for that!
Great visit as always - it's our favourite place for pre-meal drinks. Good range of drinks options and staff who are friendly without coming across as insincere. It's nice to support an independent rather than a chain too.

The service cards were an excellent idea and made ordering drinks very easy, possibly even easier than pre-COVID- the service was great and all drinks were delicious, with the bartender even making a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu for a member of the group

I like strong, short, alcoholic cocktails and the ones on the menu and that I tried seemed a bit limited in that regard (lots of fruity and mixed flavours, mostly long cocktail options). But perhaps I'm just unadventurous! Overall a very enjoyable experience, and the snack options were great too. Service was excellent, I really like the traffic light system, and the staff were great. Would definitely repeat, lovely experience, many thanks :)

Love tipple, love the drinks and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Really enjoy coming here. I do find the basement section a little basic and not as atmospheric or aesthetic as the other floors but it didn't alter how much we enjoyed coming. So glad to be able to come back indoors.

We requested a table away from the bar. This was not logged despite the request being on the reservation and sent via messenger. We were not allowed to move to a table that met our requirements as they were reserved. 13 tables did not show up. We did. It was a bit of a bummer. Cocktails and staff were great. And an antihistamine helped.
