The only people who seemed to enjoy it were those absolutely off their face on drugs.

There were very few people in here when we ordered but we waited 30 minutes for the cocktail and when we asked how long it would be we were fobbed off every time!! Awful customer service. I don't know how the bar would cope with a 'busy' atmosphere with people actually wanting drinks. Failure! If the music wasn't playing James brown it would be a gutter!

I'm in a tiny little dimly lit bar and they're playing Bluegrass music older than most of the clientele. This joint is jumping. Great mixed crowd of suits, students and blow-ins (like me). Most of the staff are pierced bearded pink haired and have their sleeve tatts on display. It's a good vibe. The food selection is interesting and well-priced. There are small plates, something more substantial and a cluster of desserts. I chose from the small plates the spinach and feta balls and they are delightful. Plump little fluffy balls of flavour with the popular accompaniments of beetroot, fresh mint and walnuts. I also chose the lamb koftas which were cooked to perfection. $29 for both. There's a well-stocked bar and a gig space upstairs. Up to now, I'd been frequenting only those establishments recommended to me, I'm patting myself on the back for this great little find.
