    Always plays the best music and has a reasonable mix of fun cocktails and ‘trendy’ beers. Has a kitsch vibe - imagine your nan returning from a holiday to Miami in 1982 and dedicating her shed to a tropical chill out room. Slice girls pizza is delicious and although it often gets busy you’ll deffo feel like it’s ‘your little place’. I love it here.

    Amazing little spot and open late It is definitely overcrowded. When we got there at 8 it was empty but around 10pm it went from 15 people to 70 people and no one seemed to count the number at the door. Also there’s a cover charge after a certain time of 5. Which might be their way of trying to minimize the number of people.
