"Super highly recommended venue for your next function. Staff were absolutely amazing"
Josh "We used this venue for a corporate event. From start to finish the communication was excellent and the food/drink and service very good. A unique venue within the city and one I would thoroughly recommend. We will be back for sure"
Andy "Staff are lovely and very obliging. Had a Birthday here, really private venue & a good size, not too big, not too small. Can block off space or open it up. Great sized screen for displaying photos etc, friendly seating arrangements & generous dance space, acoustics are good too."
