• Bacon Cheddar Popcorn: A “game changer” according to snack-lovers, this savory treat pairs perfectly with a pint.
• Gourmet Paninis & Fries: Customers praise the “awesome fries” and “sauce amazing,” with one declaring the Cuban panini “may be the best I’ve ever had.” Yet, on busier nights, food can arrive lukewarm, reminding the kitchen to maintain its normally high standards even during peak service.

Despite these occasional hiccups, the menu remains inventive and designed for sharing. It’s ideal for grazing while you sample a flight and catch up with friends.
