Instead of going there for a quick drink like I planned, I had the most amazing and fun time there! Great venue with a great selection of drinks and the vibes at the karaoke bar were fantastic! Highly recommend! You got a new fan from Germany!

Card only. You order at the bar and they add a service charge on!? Otherwise place is okay... Typical quirky tourist place. Marked down a bit due to lack of cash payment and making a fuss about removing service charge for pouring a pint.

Nice place to visit at nigth. Good performance when dance time arrives. Excellent ambience full of crazy people ready to party. Heard that the place has changed but when I lived in the city was the place to go with friends. Good memories and still hearing the music....

Did not try food while we were here. Wanted to stop in to check out such a unique place. The theme of the bar is really cool, we were also here on Halloween so that just added to it. The drinks were very good and fit in very well with the theme of the bar as well. Definitely worth checking out!!

Very interesting place! Reconverted church, with a Frankenstein theme. They have live music sometimes, and the decoration is quite cool. Prices are average for the area.

When I arrived with my wife I was greeted by the bar staff and made to feel welcome. The tables where clean and tidy and didn't wait too long for the food. The food was great. Will definitely be back
