What a great trendy bar I was invited to celebrate my colleagues birthday 🎂🎆 the staff were looking after us from the start till the end. The food platters were so delicious! We had a fantastic time. Great music playing at this place. Definitely will be back again.

Came with my partner for drinks and we got a great table with really comfortable chairs. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, we were offered different types of wine, definitely the waitress knew a lot about wine ! Also we had few starters and then steaks for main course. Food was really tasty, no complaints. Coming back for sure!

I went to Gingers bottomless drag brunch show a few weeks ago. All the acts were incredible! It was fun and really inclusive. Definitely worth the visit - but only for the show. I don’t recommend the restaurant at all. I had a bad experience with the restaurant’s waiter who was really unprofessional. When I arrived at our table I sat down on an unstable and wobbly chair. I moved it to the side so that no one else would sit on it and hurt themselves if it broke. Shortly after, the waiter stormed over and scolded me and my friend (who did nothing wrong) for moving the chair because he ‘looked stupid and was confused’ because he didn’t know that I moved the chair. When I explained why I moved it he angrily challenged me stating that it looked fine. I invited him to sit on it. He did. He then removed the broken chair by storming off with it. He came back to scold me again. He moaned at me that I should have told him - how would I know he personally set out the chairs as a customer? Me telling him that he needed to calm down angered him even more. When my friend intervened to try calm him down, he was rude to her too and he stormed off again. Personally, throwing a temper tantrum, overreacting and making a scene in front of everyone, scolding me and then ignoring our side of the table with other guests who weren’t involved for the rest of the event is just plain unprofessional and childish - all for moving an unstable chair. If he was so confused, he could have just walked over and seen the chair placed to the side.
