This place has been open for about a year now and is a breath of fresh air to Croydon high street. At a time where chain pubs and restaurants are dominating the area, a cute little independent bar such as this cuts right through the nonsense as is becoming my favourite place to hang out. The owner and proprietor Claire is warm and friendly and knows her stuff and the downstairs shop owner Oliver is also highly knowledgable with a great selection of vinyl and vintage clothing. Can recommend this bar whole heartedly - daytime coffee, evening beers or a weekend sesh - it’s a great venue.

Such lovely welcoming staff that surprised me with all the options available from quality locally bended coffee, fantastic polish vodka and alcoholic slushies which I enjoyed very much. The venue has an eclectic array of musicians and DJ’s, finding the vintage shop hidden downstairs was like finding a lost gem and the locals seem like a big family but are very welcoming. I believe I’ve made new friends and I’ll be going back for sure.

Feels like Art & Craft mixed with a coffee place. Lovely little bar with coffee, selection of craft beer, gin and a free to play arcade machine. Arcade machine could do with some button labels and instructions. Something for everyone. They've got some nice art up on the walls now. Well worth a visit, could be a new regular on your pub crawl or just passing by. These are the kinds of places Croydon needs, so show your support . Could be a bit warmer

Popped in to see a friend's exhibition on the walls and will go again...casual, friendly and offbeat bar, a welcome addition to the otherwise bland Croydon scene.
