Visited late Saturday afternoon with hubby for some chilled drinks, found it a great venue, fab cocktails & beers, and great nachos! Loved the tunes, although as the indoor area was at times competing with a function and live outdoor music, it became quite noisy at times. Overall fun vibe and will be back!
