The place has a nice visual ambiance. It gives that old English vibe that people go there for. The bartending and service was very good. Where they went wrong, is they had this DJ playing music that did not watch the style of this bar. People come here to experience the classy old English ambiance, not to hear drake club music. It’s a shame. I actually wouldn’t go back due to this. Hopefully they change it up. If they did it would be a very cool place to go with friends

Honestly can’t decide whether the food or the cocktails are better - but both are delicious. The 1282 Abbey Road and Cottage Pie Croquettes were personal favourites. Will definitely be back!
