About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Great for live music

If you want the perfect compliment to your Magic Mike Live experience, book a table at our new lounge ‘Permission.’ With lite bites, hand-crafted cocktails and live music curated by Magic Mike, there’s really no reason to go anywhere else. Bookings before the show get skip the line privileges into the theater. Oh, and did we mention our cast loves to hang out in the lounge post-show?

Permission is only for those over 18. If you are fortunate enough to look under 25 please ensure you bring a physical photo ID, either a passport or full driving licence.

Our experience at Permission was fortunately a very good one but this could have been very different! We booked this reservation for a birthday brunch though OpenTable only to be told by the reception desk that for a long time now OpenTable has not been a booking partner of theirs and they do not accept reservations from them so our reservation was not made! Thankfully they did have a table available and we enjoyed our brunch, there was a live pianist and the staff, food and service were excellent but the restaurant staff said they have had to turn a lot of parties away because OpenTable have not removed them from their booking system when they should have done!

We came here on a Saturday night. We were seated at the table. There were two singers who were pretty good singing contemporary songs and some old songs too. The cocktails are fantastic and made really well. Service was also great and the guys who served us were really friendly and smiley. I would definitely come here again in the near future.

Staff and vibe of the place was really nice. The food was not great especially for how much it cost, expected it to be much nicer.

Absolutely superb service, attentive throughout the brunch and really felt personal. Can't praise Antonio serving us enough! Lovely guy playing the piano and singing which set the right ambience whilst we were eating. Food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long at all. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

We had such an amazing experience. We were looked after from the minute we walked through the door- escorted to the smoking lounge & then straight to our seats for the showing of magic mike.
