Book a table
Come for a cocktail with friends. It is free to book a table and valuable peace of mind to know you and your mates have a base for the night. You need a minimum of 4 people to book. If it is just a couple of you, it is normally possible to find a place to perch.
Celebrating with a big group? Book a table, there is no minimum spend for doing so. Some of our tables are fairly large: book inside for up to 30 or on the heated terrace for up to 30.
Happy Hour
Tuesday to Saturday, until 7pm. The legendary bit of the legend. Get in early, order at the bar and toast the fact that you left work on time for once.
