    We loved the experience having celebrated our Daughter’s 22nd Birthday. Sunday provides great music in a quirky environment.We love all the old memorabilia in an old school pub. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was a great venue to have a party and the food was top class. Don’t lose the vibe.
