Such a cool venue. You can’t miss the bright lights on the street, then you walk downstairs to all of the arcade games, sofas, TVs playing a variety of music videos as well as pool tables. It’s a great atmosphere, and the drinks are cheaper on the weekdays than on the weekends - but even as a whole, it’s very affordable. Didn’t get to try any of the food, but would definitely return back in a hurry. You can play games consoles on one of the TVs.

The fella who works behind the bar on Fridays and Saturdays, specifically the 14th-15th of November is the only reason I am leaving this review. Lovely place, good atmosphere and I’m sure the food is alright(didn’t have any) but the tosser behind the bar really killed the vibe. I don’t like being told when I order a beer “I don’t do it because it’s shit”. I also didn’t like the misogynist approach of not serving me and my friends who were waiting at the bar before everyone else then being asked “whose next” and compelety ignoring us when we responded which he then proceeded to serve everyone else but us. So overall great place bad bar staff (that one guy, everyone else was very attentive and lovely) who completely ruined the experience.

Mixed bag because two of the staff members on were super lovely and understanding, but the girl with the curly hair was really horrible. I'm not sure why she was so angry, but she took it out on customers. We won't be back (but really the other staff were lovely!!)

Popped our heads in the other day, almost like a little speakeasy! The cocktail menu was fun and the drinks we ordered looked great, the bartender Connor was very sociable and helpful. They also had a nice food menu, we got some nacho fries and a deep pan pepperoni which tasted lovely. Decent amount of games for the size of the place, had a couple of issues with one of them, but Connor sorted it out for us asap! A very warm atmosphere, which we’ll definitely be coming back too!
