“We held my husbands 40th birthday party at The chandelier bar. From the moment we walked in to the end of the night it was a great experience I would highly recommend the bar as a venue for hosting a party. It looked beautiful with the fairy lights and stylish décor, amazing food especially the tapas, and they catered for vegetarian/gluten free options. The bar staff were fun and friendly and the live music we had was brilliant. Everybody enjoyed the party so much and I would like to thank the staff for being a big part of that!”
