February 2025Food was great and there was a good variety of drinks for a bottomless brunch. Our server Daisy was fantastic, great sense of humour and really down to earth. Would definitely recommend a bottomless brunch at playlist!

January 2025This was our first visit to the Playlist Live. We came for the 2-course meal and live music event (which was very well priced) considering entry to see the band was around £15 pp. The food and drinks menu had some great options too! The food was great, cocktails even better (happy hour 6-8pm) and service was very good. Nik was great, answered all our questions and was a superb host. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the R&B band over dinner, great voice and great song choice. The band that followed had free entry - which meant the venue was almost full. These guys were fantastic, took requests and nailed the evening, playing until 2am! Kudos. The evening was that good, we booked an upcoming drag bingo event in Feb!
