We order 1/2 kg of buffalo chicken wings, grilled eggplant, pork belly, soft shell crab and side dish of grilled corn. Chicken wings were all juicy and matched well with the butter cream. Eggplant was grilled with miso with additional smoked treat, which brought the dish to the next level, well done. Pork belly and soft shell crab were served with a surprisingly rolls. I particularly loved the addition avocado underneath the soft shell crab. Both dishes tasted good and in huge portions. Finally, I have to mention about the grilled corns; they were well caramelised in very nice colour and very sweet. Overall, this bar did serve unexpectedly tasteful dishes, which go well with alcoholic drinks.

It is a new hip bar, and there are no similar venues around which means not many competitions.  It looks like it has a great atmosphere, and when we got there at 7:30pm on Saturday night, it was packed. Their food was pretty good, especially their chicken kaarage. It was one of the best ones I have eaten, and I would go back just for the kaarage. However, they don't really have a main sized meal that is not a sub. In terms of drinks, they were bit of a hit and a miss for us, but I can see more avid craft beer drinkers liking them. <br/ <br/ One thing I wasn't particularly raving about was the noise level in the bar. I definitely don't expect a bar to be quiet, but we couldn't talk to each other without shouting. It was a night club noise level due to the small confined space with many people and a live band playing. We wanted to stay longer, but it was way too loud to be able to enjoy being there for hours. As we were about to leave, we found a few seats outside, and it was a lot better, and we were able to stay for longer. It started to get quiet around 8:30pm, so I wondered if the noise was really driving people out. <br/ <br/ Other than that, it was an enjoyable experience from nice food, good service and cool atmosphere.

My wife has celiac disease, so we have to be very cautious about gluten exposure. The chef kindly went through the menu with us and made sure her meal was completely gluten-free. The staff were also very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

However, on a Sunday night, the bar staff seemed eager to leave early. We were informed at 7:40 that they were closing at 9:00, even though their advertised closing time was 10:30. This made us feel on edge every time we ordered something. It's a shame, as it's difficult to find good boutique restaurants like this one.

It seems like the locals have already discovered this spot and have claimed it as their new go-to for post-work drinks. The menu features simple "Canadian Pub" food and snacks to enjoy with your drink. The decor is very modern, with plenty of timber, black paintwork, and funky lights. The staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered two "heroes" (long hot dog-type burgers), with me choosing the Beef Hero and my companion opting for the Knackwurst Hero. We also decided to share a side of lattice fries with maple aioli. You place your order at the bar, receive a number, and the drinks arrive promptly. The food followed shortly after, around 15 minutes later. The heroes were incredibly tasty, with delightfully soft buns. The fries were flavorful, but the aioli was a standout! The atmosphere was lively, and the place was quite busy when we arrived at 6:30 pm. If you're looking for a unique spot to enjoy a relaxing drink with some delicious snacks and heroes, you should definitely give this place a try!
