"I don’t ever write reviews, however our experience was so terrible I felt like this message needed to be shared. We made a booking for 10 people, but when we arrived we were told to that we can stand at a table for 3 people while we wait for seats to open. I asked “what’s the point in making a booking, if you don’t get a table?” And the barman said that we reserve an area to stand. ? I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to doing this. My friends and I resigned to getting a drink then searching for another place. We stood at the front of the bar for 20 min before anyone could take our order. When we eventually got someone’s attention, it took a further 45min for us to received our 4 cocktails. Furthermore, when we said we wanted to have a table so that we could eat, we were bluntly told that they don’t serve food. Why have a menu on your website then? We were not the only poor souls who made the mistake of walking into this establishment on this night. As we were standing by the staircase, we heard many people come in and explain that they have a booking, just to be told the same thing as us. The bar was quickly filling up and and considering how long our service took, I’m glad that we left when we did Worst experience ever. I would love for this message to be sent far and wide, to warn others not to make the same mistake we did."
