The team were fantastic, fast and thoroughly professional; I left really pleased.
A gorgeous family evening marking a 60th Anniversary. 💚 The team were incredibly warm, our hosts Mickey and Favour went above and beyond. The food was fantastic and everyone had a brilliant time, plus a few of us even came away as winners 🤣
A truly wonderful time at this fantastic gaming spot. The floor layout is open and spacious, with several spots to relax or grab food before heading back to the machines. Every member of staff was warm, whether at the front desk or up on the gaming floor. Definitely worth checking out, especially for a memorable evening out.
Really enjoyable time at this venue! The vibe was lively, everything was tidy and well laid out, and the games were genuinely entertaining. Everyone on staff was welcoming and professional, particularly our host Viktor who looked after us so well all evening. He was on the ball, quick, and never stopped smiling. Absolutely worth a visit if you’re after a great evening out. I’ll definitely return!
A friend and I stopped in here while on a long weekend trip to Glasgow. Solid venue with pool tables and darts on the lower floor, along with plenty of poker tables too. There were a few blackjack tables running 6-to-5 payouts, using automatic shufflers which seems to be the norm nowadays. Also found roulette tables, several roulette machines and slot machines scattered about. Prices for drinks were fair given it’s a gaming venue, and the team were welcoming. There’s a balcony outside for smokers with a decent outlook.
A few mates and I approached the venue hoping to get in when the doorman, a man of colour, claimed I seemed too intoxicated. I asked him to justify that and he pointed to my eyes, which I said was a ridiculous excuse. He then told me I’d be on my knees begging for forgiveness if I pushed him further. I pulled my phone out to film what was happening and he went silent, refusing to say a word. Once I put it away he switched to hurling abuse at me, including racial slurs.
