I cannot fault the service, prices, or beer range. However, the tables were sticky with what appeared to be residue from drink coasters which was off-putting. I'm unsure if it was the weather but the place was very quiet. Generally I don't mind a quitter venue but this was bordering on dead which killed the vibe a little bit. I don't know why because it's a pretty decent place. Hopefully business picks up soon
