They were PUMPING when we rocked up and the staff were so kind, accommodating and professional. They seated us quickly even without a booking (sorry guys), and even once we ate and I was cold, they allowed us to go back and sit inside. The food, drinks, vibe, staff - everything was incredible. Super easy to get to from the CBD and as that’s where I work, I now know of a real cool place to easily grab a tram to that won’t disappoint
