The bar has a warm, intimate feel — soft amber lighting, woven chandeliers, natural textures, and mid-century details that create a calm, stylish space to unwind in. With cosy booths, handcrafted furniture, and greenery throughout, it’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a well-made drink, enjoy the music, and take your time.

“Absolutely amazing! So close to the train station which obviously is so nice. We stayed in room 6. The room was lovely and clean, excellent variety in tea tray (oat milk option as well!) and still very spacious, especially for a budget option! Couldn’t have been more happy!” Google Review

From low-lit DJ nights to special events tied to the venues on our doorstep, it’s a cosy spot to start your night, end it, or settle in for the whole thing.
