    Great place to watch live football, Tom who was behind the bar was very happy to talk all things football whilst we waited for our game to kick off, beers were priced fairly for the area and the selection was decent too. Food looked great however we didn’t eat so only gave it 4 stars based on how others looked and smelled! We’ll definitely be back!

    Server seemed really stressed out and was snappy with their responses. Hopefully just a bad day and not the norm.

    Everything was very pleasant! Staff informed us that they were going to wait until the previous game finished before switching over and showed where we could watch as to not miss kick off which was super helpful. Burger was very salty but still tasty. Very generous with the fries too. Overall I really enjoyed my experience.

    Bei uns gibt es leider so etwas nicht, es war wunderschön. Wir haben den Tisch gebucht haben dort unser gewünschtes Spiel gesehen und wurden sehr feundlich bedient. Wir haben eine Portion Pommes bestellt die sehr lecker waren und außerdem war die Preisleistung total in Ordnung. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.
