Went on a busy Thursday evening, the energy was great! Live music, a lot of dancing, fantastic drinks. But if it is so busy, do not even think of ordering food!...

The restaurant in review appears to be a lively and popular spot with live music performances, creating an exciting atmosphere for patrons. However, some negative aspects mentioned by customers include sticky floors, torn seating, plastic glasses for wine, and issues with reservations. Complaints of high prices, rude staff, and unclear happy hour deals were also noted. Despite these setbacks, there were positive reviews praising the venue's friendly staff, fun events like bingo nights, attentive service, delicious food, and lively music. Overall, it seems to cater to a crowd looking for a vibrant and energetic experience, making it a recommended spot for a night out with friends.
