Fantastic rock/horror/gothic bar and restaurant. Food was great but took a while and wasn't piping hot. The little shop was full of good priced items. Great props everywhere. Better toilet signs would be useful

Food is really good. It's my kind of place. The shop has so many cool things to offer. Great music. A must go if you visit Birmongham and love Metal, Rock, Goth or Horror stuff.

Bit quiet when we went in which is a shame for the cafe as its packed with things to see and genuinely seems a great place trying some new compared to other places. Food was good and enjoyed nosing at the little shop inside.
