Reviews
"Great place for live music but the band had to compete with the people in the corner yelling through the whole concert. It didn't feel safe and everyone including the band seemed disturbed."
"Went for a coffee, at first it was severely burnt, but after I asked for it to be remade, it didn’t taste as burnt but very unusually acidic. I returned it to the counter and suggested that it must be the beans, they didn’t even offer a refund but they said “yep” with a frown and that was that. Won’t be returning, felt very unfriendly."
"A1 bathroom graffiti. Accessible as well. If you’re stopping by with a toilet emergency, make sure you stay for a drink and a show!"
"Went to my first jazz theatre night at Smiths. Will definitely be coming back!! Fabulous atmosphere! Eclectic set of comfy furniture, soft lighting and relaxing music to chill out and relax in. Great to hear a variety of upcoming jazz singers who want to experiment in public - some a bit shaky, some that unexpectedly blow your socks off with their talent. A great couple of entertaining hours for just $15."
