Loved

"What a fantastic venue. Great music, great food, great atmosphere. Flatbreads were fantastic. Cocktails were sharp and refreshing, music was lively and interesting. staff friendly and helpful." Which venue is this?

Hated

"Long story short: Upper Street branch, crappy, rude service. Waited forever for our drinks. We had to before the next table arrives, but it took them so long to print the damn bill, we wasted another half..." Which venue is this?
