My brother has additional needs due to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. While he was simply enjoying himself, dancing, and having a good time like anyone else, we were asked to leave. There was no disruption — just someone expressing happiness.
Not all disabilities are visible, and situations like this highlight how important awareness and understanding are in public spaces. People with additional needs have the same right to enjoy a night out, listen to music, dance, and socialise without feeling judged or excluded.
I would encourage staff and management to keep this in mind in the future and to consider disability awareness training. A little understanding can make a huge difference.
I hope this feedback is taken constructively so that others with hidden disabilities are treated with the respect, dignity, and inclusion they deserve. being dragged clean out with additional needs is absolutely unacceptable and do not go if u want a good night and have a disability and you will be taken out if enjoying themselves not even one star absolute dogs in there

Friendly staffAtmosphereLive music
One of best I have visited in the recent time.
The staffs are welcoming and makes you comfortable. We don’t have to wait to get served. They come to you regular interval asking for assistance. I really liked it because you will never feel like lagged. Also, if you feel lost they will recommend their nest food and drinks even it’s super busy. Never felt anything bad.
The food is good and Dinos are fine. I had issues with many other bars where I had to wait for ages to get food and have sat for long without refill. But here everything’s perfect timing. Ambience is also good.
Food and drinks reasonably priced. But staffs are the best.
We held a 50th Birthday Party in the snug bar and it couldn't have gone off better! Debbie the manager was amazing to deal with and looked after everything perfectly. We had out own private space for 30 people off to the right of the main bar, with the benefit of live music 7-9 and then a DJ after. The finger food provided by the KazBar was top notch and the vibe in the place was great. Highly recommended for a get together. Thank you Debbie and team 👌💯
