“Great place for drinks on a weekday or weekend and great for dinner or a snack any day of the week. The place does great catering to functions to which I have been to many at this venue. Loads of craft beers on tap and plenty of standard and top shelf spirits and liquors. Do try if you are in the King Street Wharf area.” -Steven Roberts

REVIEWS:

“Love this spot, a hidden gem. We got there for Happy hour so 5 dollar drinks. The lanterns outside give the bar a cosy feel during winter months. So close town hall station and Elizabeth Street. Staff were lovely, would definitely recommend for an after dinner drink.” -Stephanie Doyle
