Mot a cheap bar bar but Bar staff were on the ball for a busy bar, the musicians were alright too, playing recognisable tunes .dj played decent music also. Mixed ages altho some of the young lads were rude to older people finally great negroni 😋....

It's a popular bar with great decor and atmosphere. I was lured in by the live music. A man with a guitar was singing lots of songs I knew, giving it his all. The Geordie Gin cocktail was really tasty. The cocktail menu was extensive. I'd visit this bar again.

I first came here in the daytime where we sat outside and chilled with a few cocktails in the sunshine. Although you are next to a road which can get busy in peak hours, it's still quite pleasant and the drinks are great, especially during happy hour. I then returned on a Sunday night and sat inside. It felt very classy and had a great, chilled atmosphere. After a few drinks we tried the cheeseboard for something to nibble on and it was really nice: not something I would usually expect to eat in a cocktail bar but was definitely better than a bag of crisps. The staff are really friendly and there wasn't a long wait for drinks which can be a problem in cocktail bars.

Nice bar in the quayside. Not masses of gable set up for small groups of people rather than couples. Nice cocktail menu. Seemed to attract an older audience on the day I was here. Had Live music on. Musician was very good. Would come back.

TOBI RIPLEY
Perc @ Tiger Hornsby 9pm-1am I’m a drummer/percussionist from the UK. I spent last summer bringing energy to dance floors all across the UK & Europe working alongside brands such as L’Oréal, The Commonwealth Games, BCM Mallorca, Amazon and more… I'm currently working with some DJ's in France hopping around different après ski venues in Morzine, Chamonix & Les gets... ❄️ I mainly perform alongside DJ’s mainly to tropical house & dance music however anything upbeat (modern and or old school) works. Also, using a harness means I can roam-freely with my drums to really interact with the crowd!

Kirsty Forster Duo
Acoustic Sundays 6-8.45pm Kirsty Forster Duo (voice & keyboard) The Kirsty Forster Duo takes the familiar set-up of vocals and keyboard and presents a fresh spin on the formula. Their skilful musicianship and creative approach to interpreting classic and modern songs gives them a sound that can be surprisingly full and packed with energy when performing up-tempo songs, and spellbinding and captivating during those quieter moments. Kirsty and Richard complement each other wonderfully - their many years of experience performing together is immediately apparent when you hear them play. Kirsty brings a joy and effortless musicality, whilst Richard brings an expertise in jazz and pop to elevate the music beyond that of standard covers.

Dave Lynas
Acoustic Sundays 9-11pm Acoustic solo performer operating from the north east UK. Hey! I am Dave Lynas, a local solo performer. Whether you require a chilled out acoustic set to set a chilled out atmosphere or whether you need that uptempo set to get people singing and dancing, Ive got you covered. My set is continuously updated to suit all age groups. I stick to big songs so there is no room for 'filler' tracks. My set can go from a power ballad such as Whitney Houston's 'I have nothing' to a chilled bit of Paolo Nutini's 'Candy' or 'Last Request' or Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together'. For the more uptempo client this can go to a foot stomping bit of Gerry Cinnamon, Jamie Webster or Harry Styles. My set also features classics from the Killers, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Waterboys, Tina Turner, Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Stereophonics, Snow Patrol, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, The Weeknd, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Queen and loads more! Quite literally... whatever the event needs... I've got it covered!
