Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Decided at the last minute to come to karaoke here on a Thursday night and had one of the best nights of my Uni life. The music was such a good mix of the classics (Bonnie Tyler, Pat Benatar, Dolly Parton), such a diverse range of ages in the bar but everyone was just having a good time and dancing along with each other to the karaoke! The DJ is incredible. Such a lovely person and made sure that the music kept everyone dancing all night. I came here and had an excellent night with my University friends, but next time I want to bring my parents, because its the perfect place for them to be able to let their hair down too. Couldn't recommend this little club enough!

Also - never judge a bar by its bouncers. They're employed by a completely different company and usually the bar have nothing to do with the bouncers or their behaviour, but most bartenders will do their best to help you if you ask ❤
