    First time here. Was a trivia night and good fun Food was good. But needs more vegetarian options. With only 1 veggie main. Options are not good when half of the group were non-meat eaters. Other than that. Great place and very busy for a Wednesday night.

    Food and service was great, live music was way too loud! I couldn't hear people sitting next to and opposite me. My young nephews and daughters even agreed that it was way too loud. Feed back I'd give is turn down the speakers so people can enjoy the music and conversation

    Hi Sharon, Every Friday and Saturday we host some great live music, If you'd like to come back and try again, i'd recommend a table in the Laneway, its a quieter area away from the Beer hall set up for people to chat a little easier. Hope this helps

    Great food, overly noisy with music though... Service was crap, waited 10mins for the seating staff to attend the line. Starter took 45 mins to arrive, the main meals arrives 80mins after we ordered and didn't get dessert as it took so long to get meals they wernt serving anymore and were packing up the tables around us saying it was closing time. Overall dissatisfaction!
