Nous sommes venus assister au show d'humour de Radi & lui & ses humoristes invités étaient surprenants, vraiment très drôles & charmants! Merci! & comme toujours, le sympathique jeune homme à l'entrée a toujours un des meilleurs services que j'ai eu la chance de connaître! Merci pour la belle soirée!

They have literally everything here... I've so far been there while it was a club, a comedy bar, a karaoke spot, outdoor restaurant, & just great food as a restaurant. It's the most versatile happening bar around.

Great place to sit outside on the patio & have a beer or two along with a meal. Fish & chips were really good, nice crunchy homemade batter really elevated it. Good music & great service!

C'était foule pour la finale de l'Euro, donc j'imagine que le service aurait été meilleur sans cet événement. L'ambiance était extra, la bouffe bonne & il y a une grande sélection de bière d'ici & d'ailleurs!

This people never saw a sangria in their lives! They charged me a 34 plus taxes pitcher of sangria that had no wine, no fruits, just a cheap punch juice from Walmart full of ice. Service at the table was the minimum, had to ask in the bar many times to get served. Food was good though, I asked for a burger with fries. Overall, it is an expensive spot.
