    Despite us being the only table in there at first the lads Paddy and Marsel still kept us well entertained. We had a great time and were really pleasantly surprised at how nice the food was. Great time, good food, deadly craic, would definitely go again maybe on a Saturday night when the place is a little more lively.

    Not a Karen in sight. The men who served us were humourless & crass. Not the fun we expected. Concept is good but execution was unnecessarily offensive. Not suitable for under 16s.

    It was empty for a Friday night which was the first alarming point. The Burgers were okay, but the frozen pizza was a real disappointment. The entertainment was very disappointing. Although asking the waiter to level it up and ask to play some games, as promised when booking this experience the waiter made little effort. Overall it was quite bad. I do not recommend.

    I understand the experience is suppose to be a hectic one and about getting abuse but there should be rules in what’s allowed be said my 8 year old was told Santa isn’t real when she’s having doubts already and I’m convincing her he is and now I feel like it’s confirmed for her that he is not real from attending the restaurant as she won’t stop saying it I feel I this was my last year getting her to believe now that’s gone. So I wouldn’t be back

    Hi Kelsie, I am incredibly sorry a staff member said that to your child, a line was definitely crossed. We do not condone anything like that being said and we will be having a meeting with all the staff regarding what was said.
