Ace cocktails , often rammed yet excellent roof terrace , games room & comfy booths , massive plates of nachos . I am a total fan of this joint.

Really cool place to go on a sunny day and it looks like they have good events but £4.50 for a bottle of Desperados so kind of overpriced. The roof terrace is nice as well !

Mikey

Had lots of fun here. Great venue; has a homely feel to it. Enjoyed the cocktails on offer and the music was immense. Would definitely recommend to those travelling in groups.

Kelsey Snyder

Great music ! One of my favourite clubs except recently, my mates and I were hit on by such aggressive man-babies. One, who after grabbing my tit thought I was playing hard to get by shoving him off.

Newly reopened. Check out the miniature games room on the first floor, with table football and Monopoly stuck to the ceiling for some reason.

J. Pedro Ribeiro

Really liked how chilled and relaxed the roof garden is. Bring a jug from downstairs and you're set.

Mona

Nice bar near Kings X. Quite a good variety of drinks and craft beers . Good place for drinks with friends.

Roof top on sunny day is a great place to chill while waiting for your train .

This is the sister venue to The Big Chill Bar in Brick Lane , and to a now defunct UK festival .

Kevin Marks

Mazes of rooms with noise. A good place to lose your friends and get confused

Jamie Edwards

Great bar selection, big venue with plenty of room

Jay Bowles

The roof terrace is pretty nice on a sunny day.

Jonathan Ang

Don't forget the rooftop garden on a sunny summer's day - no service up there, usually, but well worth carrying your drinks up those flights of steps.

That girl ray

If you're going there for a late pub lunch eat up quick as the music gets turned up so loud you have to shout at each other

Going through a Hip hop phase - which is a good thing, imho - "Scratch" is back on the 31st April (Free all night). But please, no drunken amateur breakers.

What is the password for wifi ?

The lunch service was terrible. In addition to the food being wrong and cold, the servers were rude and then the manager refused to apologize for the horrible service.
