What People Say

Guests consistently praise the fun, upbeat vibe and Instagrammable interiors, especially the floral walls and neon signs. Service is often described as friendly and fast, even during busy periods. Many reviewers love the 2-for-1 cocktail deals and note that the international menu, while casual, is a step up from typical pub fare.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that it can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which may mean a short wait for a table or slightly slower food service. The menu, while crowd-pleasing, leans more toward casual bites than fine dining—something to keep in mind if you're after a more elevated meal.
