I wish I'd seen other reviews. Charged £25 to book a table... An absolute scam. Others just wandering in and being seated for free. Such a rip off. Also not jazz, just some bloke playing covers. If you want to spend £75 on 3 cocktails and bang average piano covers then this is your venue. Really poor show, worst experience, in fact only bad experience we had in Rye. Avoid this place.

We paid £50 for two of us for live music and hoped for drinks and an hour and a half of live music before our dinner. There was no live music for one hour and 15 minutes of our stay. It’s laughable that we had to pay £50 for a table. There are better places for a drink without a fee.

Gorgeous little cocktail bar tucked down a side street. Nice nibbles and fab drinks. We went on a Friday when there’s no live music which was a shame, so a bit less of an atmosphere than I imagine when the live artists are on, but it was a lovely place to have a quiet drink and I’d definitely go back

A £12.50 per head non returnable fee to reserve a table is outrageous considering there is no cover charge for turning up. So £75 just for the privilege of booking a table before buying a drink. No jazz on offer as such just a local musician playing a wide range of songs and a couple with an aggressive sounding dog barking out loud just behind us. Not a champagne jazz bar atmosphere at all.

Think we might have been unlucky but the music wasn’t Jazz - it was cheesy covers and the singer really brought the mood down! also paid so much for our booking and didn’t get a reserved seat

We had a fantastic evening with our friends. Paying to book is a nit of a rip off but we had a great place in the lounge. The musician/ singer was brilliant. The ambience and general atmosphere was perfect. The place is a bit pricey, but we didn't mind as we had such a good evening

Great fun place to go. We were early at 5pm so it was a bit chilly and we were the only people there for a while. Ordered olives but none were available, just had crisps.
