Attended a private event 08/11/24 in the VIP area. The food and service was great along with the atmosphere. The live music was fantastic and I would definitely return to watch the lady artist again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this bar for a night out or private event.
Visited here with my partner as she was performing with her band the fleetwoodmack experience, we got their early so decided to have a drink and soak in the place, it truly is fantastic reminds me of an improved Hard Rock Cafe but themed around oasis. The staff were super welcoming and did everything to make the sold out night special , fingers crossed we will be back … they also have shuffleboard!!
Great atmosphere music and especially Staff including Stuart H who went above and beyond his duties to be looking after us all night with virtual darts then at live music n bar. He explained various different activities within the venue, and the food was pretty good for a bar restaurant. Wasnt packed Friday 9pm which was pretty good, no Rif Rafs definitely would come again.
Live music is always a real raw talent, I don’t know where they find performers but they’ve always been good. The service is brilliant, they’re quick but always make time to have a good banter with you — blonde girl with a fringe is a brilliant server
I have now visited here on two occasions and both times have been faultless. Stuart and the rest of the staff are extremely welcoming and accomodating, the overall atmosphere is amazing. Upstairs in particular with the pool table, virtual darts, PS1 and shuffleboard provides hours of fun. This time, we also tried one of the Pizzas, which was one of the best I have ever had. The Chicken Wings and Curly Fries were also very good. You can spend ages looking around all the Oasis pictures and memrobilia as well, which is so cool, and they play a brilliant selection of music.
Been wanting to visit and we made it at last. Fantastic night. Noel (Real name unknown) was amazing. Even took the trouble to shake our hand as he left. Then it was Danny Quinns turn. Again a great act. Will definately be back. Thank you x
What a place a must visit for any Oasis fan and any lover of live music. Had a great night with a buzzin atmosphere the staff were great.
