Top shelf service

As far as I'm aware it's an open bar and all public welcome. They serve food till 9pm. If your talking about the night club I'm not too sure. Maybe give them a call.

I don’t think so, I went and I don’t think it’s busy enough or select enough to say regulars only! What bar can afford to do that in this day and age unless they are top class.
