It's really nice - went to the bar for drinks my last night in work. Live piano music, comfy chairs. All good.

It's an alright place. Staff seemed a little inexperienced when I was there, but overall not a bad place. Sorta reminded me of a 12th lock sorta place.

ChewChew

oooh excellent. i'm really looking forward to it. and I think if it ends up being a good night and good service they will make alot of business from our place.

We could have our next D15 beers there.

It's not on any of the bus routes and it a bit far out, it's a nice spot and the coffee is good mind.

I'll be there on Thursday for a few drinkies to mark the end of the french classes I've been doing. Looking forward to it as I've heard nothing but good things about the place so far.

Was there last night, very nice and the bar was nice and quiet. There was plenty of noise coming from the restaurant, so it sounded like they were enjoying themselves in there.
I'd certainly recommend the place.

ChewChew

well we had our party here last night. Absolutely fantastic night! would highly recommend it, and we will definitely be going back at some stage!

Gaspode

Possible venue for next D15 beers?

"They" are the hotel staff who are part of this vast conspiracy to remove my jacket from my possession. We were the last ones to leave the bar so it had to be them. They also had suspicious looking faces !

get your skates on and organise the beers and we'll decide from there if you are the best kind or not!
