Firstly, let's be honest, it's the coolest looking bar! The art work is amazing, the decor looks great, and the gaming room is brilliant. It was so my vibe. I can highly recommend it if you are a looking for a cool alternative wedding venue.I photographed a wedding reception at the bar, so I have to say I have a slightly different perspective to most reviews, but trust me, I LOVED IT there.
