    Great place to sit down and have fantastic cocktails and they also have a great casual menu for eats. The lounges were comfy. Service great but food took a bit long coming out but it was busy in the main area of Sharks, so we understood. All up highly recommend this bar for drinks and just relaxing and have a chat with friends.
