About this venue

A book-lined natural-wine room that describes itself plainly as queer and open to everyone.

Staff inclusion

Recent positive feedback describes courteous welcome and a calm space; the venue explicitly calls itself queer and open to all. Some older reviews criticise staff tone, and one politically charged complaint comes from the green-pass period rather than current inclusion practice. The evidence supports a queer mission wi
