😐 The food here was good, though the portions were quite small. This restaurant looks dodgy from the outside but there’s an excellent atmosphere inside. Liked the staff, they were friendly.. People often mention good,

    Decent pub with a fair selection of brews. Nothing exceptional with the cocktails and most suited for by the pitcher, tower, bottle group binging. Open mike and trivia nights also make it a bit more fun. Has a view of the magnificent Royal stadium (which probably makes it a hot seat during certain match days) but of nothing much else. Seating both in and out. Service usually fast and friendly

    Good environment, live music only on Fridays. Prices are more than average. Please confirm that credit card machine is working before you make order if you are going to pay by card.

    Nice place to have drinks with friends. You can even order from the Indian restaurant right next to it. Not sure about the happy hour offers. Drinks are quite affordable and meals are good. You can even watch your favourite game.

    Was my first visit to this pub, and I thought it's was a it boring. Even though there was a live band playing there wasn't a single person other than my friends Drinks priced averagely, food was good place is nice too... Just for a Friday night it was dead. Guess they need to up their game and make it bit more visit worthy.

    Pretty decent place for a nice drink with friends. Being attached to Agra means the food is very good but the menu could do with some variety. All in all fair price and good enough to keep the night up.

    Best place in town for drink. Superb atmosphere.

  • 5/5 S De S. 6 years ago on Google
    On weekdays it’s not busy and good place to have a drink after work. Smoking is not allowed inside and you have a smoking area at the entrance , so no issue. Food is good and I believe it is made in the next door Agra Indian restaurant. Prices are just a bit over the average range but you can’t complain as the place , service and food is great.

  • 1/5 Madusha L. 2 years ago on Google
    They don't even know what happy hour is. They don't know how to treat a customer. Worst customer service ever.

    Very comfortable place with nice food and a lot of different cocktails and other drinks I'll definitely come back there many times

👍 A very aesthetically pleasing interior. With a great shisha lounge in the back garden area. Prices are leaning towards the more expensive side, you can’t get a main course for less that Rs.2.500 but considering the economic situation of the country that is well expected. Portion sizes were fairly ge...

Nevertheless, the place is a great spot if you're looking for a good selection of beer, cocktails, and other liquors. The waiter w...
