What travelers are saying
- HayleypooSydney, Australia95 contributionsWe were so happy we came across this underground bar, that we went back the next night! No menus, they will ask you what you generally drink and will suggest something based on your answers. My brother (typical Aussie VB man) isn't a cocktail man, but he had 4 and loved them all. I asked to be surprised for mine, starting with absolutely no preferences. Jasper smashed it, and made me delicious drinks each time. My partner had whiskey neat and enjoyed all of his. I'm so sorry I can't remember her name but she was also providing amazing service and great conversations.
They also have live music from I think 9pm.
Definitely a spot to check out!Written July 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A safe and welcoming venue and amazing staff and always has cool cat regulars who are always chill and friendly, always a good time and in the heart of the CBD and easy to get too. highly recommend 10/10Written November 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KiaoraallHamilton, New Zealand221 contributionsDropped in while on holiday to sample some local wines. The find wasn't the wines, it was the hostess - she was just amazing!. After sampling a couple of her suggestions, we then took home a couple of bottles all at a very reasonable price.
We tasted a number of wines, loved the venue - but our overwhelming memory is of the hostess recommending varietals we never would have thought to try.
We thought this a real find.Written April 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vanessa CWaverly, New Zealand21 contributionsWe had a great time bowling. Our lane had a spillage an hour before our booking and the staff rung ahead to let us know. To say sorry we were given free arcade cards for half an hour. Very much appreciated and so much fun! Great that you could order food and drinks from your table and get them delivered. Overall a really fun place but be prepared to spend lots of money!!!Written April 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
