4 Star Review by Katarina Lualua
Had a great time here! Party started at 7:00pm! It was nice and quiet and the music there was around 10pm it got busy and crowded and hard to get around, but they have an outside terrace which was nice. Unisex toilets downstairs.

Tosh was amazing! Had the best time at the bar and did their vaccine shots. Definitely recommend this bar.
5 Star Review by Dean Lovett
Love the vibe! Great welcoming space for all. Great for a casual drink, or a dirty dance floor moment later on in the night, also excellent drag shows on a Thursday.
5 Star Review by Chris Nguyen
This bar is always the first stop for a golden night out! More of an intimate place to have a beer and a chat.

I made a reservation for 15 people. They said they booked us a table for two hours. Sounded perfect as we didn't plan to stay seated the whole night anyway. Once in the club turned out that there was no table really booked for us and random people just came and sat with us. Then, at 11pm a staff member literally kicked the 15 of us out of the venue! They said our time was up and we had to leave. That's a strange policy as most people in the club didn't have a booking and could just stay as long they want (like those who were using our table for example). They said that they would give us a $100 voucher as a compensation for the misunderstanding. That never happened. Be aware that they kick out the patrons with a booking after two hours in the club. Alternatively you can try your luck and walk in but you might have to wait outside for hours. Later in the night a staff member messaged us and was being ironical about the situation.
