The Toff really care about looking after up and coming local artist's! I reached out to film my music video and Beth and the team were all amazing to help make it a success. I'm so grateful for their support leading up to it and on the day filming. Great communication and a genuine, friendly team, Thank you!

Some of the best live music I’ve ever seen in the world to be honest; The musicians were amazing and super humble when chatting to on their half way break. DJ played perfect sets before, in-between and after. The band played jazz funk neo-soul, live hiphop and disco / house. Dance floor was bumping and the cocktails are phenomenal.

This is the hidden gem I stumbled upon after decending the stairs from the seemingly more popular and crowded rooftop bar on level 7 with a desperate need for the loo. The quiet ambience immediately reminded me of a speakeasy. The venue was spacious, but with many intimate spaces and booths for patrons to tuck themselves away and talk and drink late into the night. The staff were so wonderful, they were attentive and personable when ordering but then left you to the privacy of your booth/table. The booths even have a service/call button that almost feels too oppulant to use. Never again will I bother to head up further then level 2, the rooftop is for the plebeian masses and the Toff is where you bring a date or an intellectual friend for an actual conversation over a delicious cocktail.
