I was actually intrigued by the lighting and the small private booths. It felt like it was more designed for couples with the vibe it sets. I personally liked the decor and just had a drink from the bar. The food menu did not seem to attract my attention and just seemed abnoxiously expensive. Even their drinks were on the higher end. They do have other events like comedy or live music, which might be of interest for others to check out. In fact, they had a comedy show going on the night i visited. They are located in the second floor of the Curtin house.

Kinda hit and miss. The lady manning the front is lovely. Bar staff had no idea about what’s on the menu. Asked for Penfolds Riesling which is on the menu and she said it’s not on the menu aggressively. All booth tables facing the main doorway were not wiped. Otherwise the venue itself is amazing.

Great bar. Nice and intimate. Would go there again for friend catch ups. Just wish they had more beer variety but other than that, it’s a pretty good place.

I was served by the loveliest bar tender ruby (with the plats) last Tuesday, she was very good at her job as well as kind. An absolute ray of sunshine!!! That same night I found myself in an uncomfortable situation and was glad to know that the staff had my back, Bailey and management were awesome. Would definitely recommend!!
