Front Bar & Courtyard

Went to see Phoenix Burlesque. Got there a little early, so we shared a bottle of Headland sparkling Rose and a bowl of olives. This set the mood for the night. Only a small theatre but it was great for the show. It was a 'WOW' show. Drinks are reasonably priced and service good considering the crowd. So, it's a good place for that casual drink as well.

Great cool venue, great music 🎶 awesome cocktails nice place just to chill out and enjoy good tunes looking forward to going back ,

I didn't actually dine here, I was just waiting outside for a friend. I am sure the food here was really nice though.

Went there for a few drinks and some live Jazz. Great staff. Good atmosphere. Quite enjoyed it :)

Went to see a fringe show here. But also stopped by for a couple drinks. Over all I had a fabulous time. Fantastic service and a great night!
