Sadly, the last time I visited a young woman was quite intoxicated and quietly resting with friends, whilst they waited for her mum to collect her. The security staff were very kind and understanding, saw the messages and agreed to allow 5 minutes for her arrival. However, the manager refused and much to everyone's dismay, threw the woman out. This is disgusting behaviour and not for the benefit of anyone, especially not the safety of the woman, who was around 18-20 years old! Because of this, I've marked the venue down to 3. I would seriously reconsider your choice of security manager.

The staff were very attentive, regularly checking in on us and clearing empty glasses. They offer a great variety of drinks and the Chicken Wings were delicious. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!! :)

Plus, there wasn't a single Australian in sight despite the name, which was a nice bonus!
