"Great atmosphere and a great live band. People were having a fantastic time, will definitely go back."

"Booked a table for dinner at 8pm. We bought a beer and the person at the counter gave us menu, did not say anything about kitchen closing time. After 15 - 20 minutes we came to order food and was told that we were late because they closed the kitchen ( this was even before 0820 pm) and only bar snacks was available. Very disappointing, should have read the reviews before booking. Do not recommend at all."

"Been a regular for the last fews weeks while looking after Eden Park and tonight while waiting for my dinner the DJ comes and puts a reserved sign on my table, while I was on the phone, no-one at any other table around me. What's that about I said, this tables taken from 7 he says, trivia night and some people always have this table. Really.. rather than make a number of obvious points. Forget it, just post a review. Shame as the day manager who'd looked after me on a number of occasions was nice but hey, time for a new spot to spend my money.. Steaks supposed to be 400g too, $30 for that?! lol, anyway went from a 3 to a 2 and still feel generous."

"We arrived at the place before 8pm and were informed that the kitchen would close at 9pm. It was Thursday so we asked for the ribs which we could eat as much as we can. We ate the first dish and after that we were told that the kitchen was closed, before 8:30 pm. It was disappointing."

"Gotta give this bar an honest review since so many people complained about the food and hygiene. Came here on Thursday night all u can eat ribs & open mic. It’s exactly what I imagine a greasy old bar with cool vibe is. The ribs are very nice, actually way nicer than what I had at other all u can eat places, yes, it’s not sparkling clean, but I didn’t go to an old bar expecting it that way. Love the open mic!!!! So many cool people performing. Will be back!"
