Pretty big space for Central London and across two floors. If you went here to sit the options would be full pretty quickly, and the bar service was slower than you'd expect for how busy it wasn't. DJ did his best to get the energy up, but the room remained kinda dead.

place was pretty cool however extremely loud. had a great time last night being served by Joao being both a great bar tender and small-talk-companion

Julie was a killer host with her fluffy bucket hat sorting out any and all problems that arose during my time at the book club

not sure of the man’s name but whoever was also working in kitchen was great sorting out any mistakes that arose with food, even if they were mine!

would recommend, the staff were all more than just friendly - you feel like you’re talking to a real human and not a customer service bot

security was also very present making sure to make the place both feel and look secure for its customers

in short, 10/10 experience and will recommend to friends

I've visited this venue several times before and always had a great experience. Unfortunately, last night was completely different, and the vibe was ruined by the bouncers’ unprofessional and disrespectful behavior.

I had purchased two separate tickets at different times—one for myself and one for my friend. Since I was running late and it was raining, I sent my friend his ticket so he could go in ahead of me. However, the bouncers refused to let him enter, claiming they don't allow "single entry." This rule was not mentioned anywhere on the ticket or the venue's website, which made it seem like an arbitrary excuse.

When I arrived, we got in line together, but one of the bouncers singled out my friend and said he wouldn't be allowed entry, offering no explanation. I tried to ask why, but the bouncer ignored me entirely. At the ID check, the second bouncer claimed it was because my friend had tried to enter earlier and was told to wait for me. This made no sense, as we were now together. Despite having his ticket with his name matching his ID, they still refused to let him in.

What made this even worse was that my friend is really chill and non-confrontational—there was no reason for them to think he’d cause any trouble. It felt like they were just being difficult for no reason, which was beyond frustrating.

It wasn’t until I made a scene that they reluctantly let him in. By then, the mood was ruined, and it took a while for him to feel comfortable. The whole reason we came was for his pre-birthday celebration, so this made it even more disappointing.

Fun from the off.

We did the bottomless brunch.
The Queens were both wonderful hosts (Justine and Dylan). We had a thoroughly great time with good food, generous free flow, fun games and excellent tunes. Staff helping with food and drinks WERE BRILLIANT.

My only slight reservation
would be that getting your own drinks at the end of the brunch was rather painful and had to wait around 30 minutes (they said they were busy… I personally didn’t think so and think they missed a ticket here as appeared to not prepared), but didn’t spoil a brilliant afternoon.

I used this spot to network with a potential vendor and get some work done. I love the vibe of this place. There's plenty of seating that comfortable. It's also a dynamic space too that has a good mix of play and work which I like. The food is hearty and filling at the right price. This is a great place to meet friend and socialize or get some work done. It depends on what time of the day you show up.
