This is an amazing place that has high standards. After working hard all day it's good to be able to relax in this venue. The security are respectful and fantastic. I find it difficult to believe the negative reviews. If you dress well and have class you won't have a problem.

I came here on a Tuesday night. Was quiet busy. The drinks are expensive here. However the establishment has quiet a good vibe, the food was ok. But nothing to rave about having said that I was talking quiet a bit so the food wasn’t that hot. I’ll have to go back and try it whilst it fresh and hot :-) It cost 25 dollars for a cocktail.

One of the worst bars in the city. Booked for my sisters Birthday, drove an hour and a half to get there, half the group was allowed in the other half were told they were dressed too casual despite wearing long pants, shirts and enclosed sneakers, ordinarily I’d cop that on the chin however there were patrons inside dressed identical and some even in board shorts. The manager told the boys to go away and purchase jackets or collared shirts, when they did so we were then told by the same manager there is a 24 hour limit once you have been denied. The ones that remained inside advised the food was overpriced and poor, drinks are expensive and the line is long, the vibe is stuffy. Overall though the rude and quite frankly unprofessional management did it for me.

I was welcome and greeted by Herman and Ahsan, what breath of fresh air. Security that knows how to provide customer service. Had a beautiful evening with great company, staff were accommodating. The atmosphere was awesome but chilled. Definitely coming back.

This was my second time there, and honestly I do love the vibes and music. People there tend to be fun-loving and energetic.

Unfortunately, a terrible experience due to one absolutely horrendous staff at the bar (it's a she, but I didn't get her name).

So I went to the bar to get a couple beers and I had to wait for almost 10 minutes before anyone attended to me. Honestly, there is no system here. I had to wave my hands around like an idiot, while the service staff just focused on the Caucasians. Perhaps it's because I'm an Asian guy.

When I finally got their attention. An irritable Asian lady staff took my order, and honestly your would think I was asking for her number or something. She had a look of disgust all over her face.

When I got my beers, I realized that they are the wrong size, and politely asked if she could change the beers to a larger size, and boy was she pissed. Looked as though I mortally offended her. She poured both beers into the larger glass before smashing the smaller glasses into a bin. She then proceeded to slam both glasses in front of me, without a word. Seriously, I'm shocked. I've been to bars across Asia and a couple in Australia, and most bartenders are pretty cool, and at a bare minimum, courteous. The behaviour this lady displayed is downright atrocious.

People have good days and bad days, I get it. But in none of these days should you not show basic courtesy. This is inexcusable.

My standpoint of this place, still a decent place to go, but if you prioritize good service, there are tons of better places more deserving of your time and money.

Very disappointing that the Rockford was listed, but not available... passing that, I ordered a decent steak... enjoyed, but the rocket salad...

Live music = awesome vibe.
I'd go again + again (if they had my bloody wine)

Lovely staff, love their dj who stood right in front of us. Also, great vibes with all the decorations. They have very delicious cheese board, very recommended.
