I did not eat there just had a drink. Place is really nice, cozy and with a nice atmosphere. Waitress were friendly. The street is tricky to find parking if you go in the rush hour. Definitely recommend for a happy hour or a date night.

Amazing cocktails. Have been to this bar a few times and it never disappoints. Service and atmosphere are amazing too. Went there last week with a friend and he had the same opinion. Keep up the good work guys!

Have been here a long time ago as well as recently for some local comedy. They have some rare drinks on the menu especially if you are into cocktails ;) It is great to see them survive lockdown and even doing some shows! Certainly recommend if you like an intimate settings. The interior of cosy and staff so friendly and knowledgeable.

My partner and I had our engagement party at the Collection Bar over the weekend. The bar has a great vibe, the staff were friendly. There were some big holes in the floor which caused two of my guests to nearly trip in the first 30 minutes. But the staff quickly fixed it up so that it was not as issue for the rest of the night. The owner was very responsive when organising the details of the night. Thank you for allowing us to have our engagement party at your venue.

An impressive bar. We dropped in for a final drink after a meal at Anchovy just up the road. The bar is nicely fitted out and it’s clearly a well liked place. Good range of drinks available here. The cocktails are good. Service was pretty satisfactory too. We’d return for sure.
