What it feels like

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • With friends

    Ideal when everyone wants something different and a drink in hand.

  • As a couple

    Lively rather than intimate, but easy and fun on a wet evening.

  • Multigenerational

    Something for every taste, though the noise can wear on older diners.
