text: this review may be a bit underrated as i was only at the mercat to attend an event so due to this perhaps did not experience the full of extent of what the bar has to offer but that said the drink selection is pretty decent although my boyfriend was disappointed that he could only get prosseco and not champange but i think this is normal for most midrange bars and probably a request they very infrequently get however there was a large number of spirits available and beers on tap or bottled so no one went thirsty i noticed that some people had ordered food and it smelled good but i cannot report on the quality as i did not have anynni have to say that the service though was excellent there was a large number of people some very drunk constantly at the bar ordering more drinks but the bartenders were polite although they did look a wee bit harassed which i do not blame them for and did their best to keep up with the demand for drinks nnso i did find this place AOK and i am sure on a return visit i will be happy to update my review and perhaps add another star but in terms of use for a midsize event this was a good venue they booked out the lower bar for us which was a great space and had it is own private bar so no need to travel upstairs my only real complaint was the spiral staircase between the floors i mean a few drinks and wearing heels meant that i had great difficulty in not falling on my face when i attempted to go up or downstairs perhaps they should rethink this design in terms of customer health and safety
