Came in for a few drinks and a meal with my daugher, it wasnt busy but still seemed under staffed. My daughter got her $30 burger never got her ketchup as requested, which i reminded the staff twice. Small point but if the kids are only eating because they are hungry and not enjoing the food then why bother.. To be honest though the burger cound be a lot better too for the price. Its a great spot but they need to consider the customers requests.
Hard not to stop, harder to not stay. Broad, long bar and resto with stylish lines and warm, dark colours with subdued lighting. I was here at 5pm on a Friday - my 55th birthday - and it was prolly ⅓ full. I suspect that had hung around even an hour more, there'd be many more folk in. I only stayed for one beer - a pint handle of Asahi ($15) - then skedaddled. I stood in the front bar with my handle admiring the matchbooks under the glass. Copper beer stills (stills?) at the end there hanging from the ceiling. I didn't get about the rest of the place as it was either busy, tabled or restricted for those eating.
A large spacious bar in a prime location on the busy shopping street. There’s a handful of tables outside which are great for people watching with a drink, but inside there’s loads to admire in the decor, all in keeping with the natural history theme. The bar itself is large and spacious and the staff friendly and helpful, offering advice on the drink options available. Prices are reasonable given the central location and there’s a decent atmosphere. Toilets are large and clean too. Certainly somewhere I’ll be returning to!
Nice place and the interior design is very unique. The food portion is a bit smaller compared to other places. Overall, it's a good place.
Food was really nice. Service was quick and friendly and it is an interesting venue
