Gave up in the end and left Young servers with no hospitality skills. For the prices they charge I expect better. Can't see them lasting in business with this level of unprofessionalism. People are spending their money wisely now days and expect good service as a minimum.

As soon as you step in there is no welcome and in terms of service little to none. For two drinks we had to wait half an hour and it was just so disappointing. There seemed to be no management due to the lack of delegation of the team. Wouldn’t come here again.

The three young servers looked incredibly disinterested and one of them ate a pizza in front of everyone from behind the bar. I’m afraid that this once vibrant and different place to drink is in real danger of going out of business. If a cocktail and a pint costs £18, you need to offer a lot more. A real shame. We won’t be returning.

Lots of gin cocktails to choose from. Only disappointing thing is that you can't get standard larger on draft or in bottles such as becks or peroni. They only serve larger specials which are an acquired taste.

Great venue to meet friends and/or people watch. Comfortable, great choice of gins and craft beers and a great atmosphere. read more Great venue to meet friends and/or people watch. Comfortable, great choice of gins and craft beers and a great atmosphere.
