Come here on a warm evening and sit in the rooftop garden with a cool beer, it’s really peaceful. Just hope they don’t play the music too loudly and ruin the atmosphere. The inside is a bit too dark for my liking but each to their own.

Such a lovely place, as an art student I’ll definitely be going again. However a whisky and coke was £4 and it tasted like water, won’t get getting that again. The music was a great vibe and I’d revisit it with my art friends to draw the place because it is such a well crafted environment!

A must-do for food and drinks before a gig next door, Rizzos pizza and arancini from the roof terrace is amazing, and Big Hands is an Oxford Rd institution and they can pour a decent Guinness.
