    First things first, I think this place is great... But waiting for 15 mins to get a drink on a tues night is unacceptable. It took me 45 mins on a fri 4 wks ago... Villains! Hire more people!

    Such a cool place, shame it's in such a bad area. I got mugged here last weekend. Some thugs came out of a van and beat the shit out of my friend and I, stole our wallets and phones. True story :(
