Excellent Cocktail bar with the added bonus of Excellent food!! Not to be missed. We had a brilliant evening at Mr. Brightside - arrive early if you don’t have a booking as got busy! All the dishes were absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. Did get a bit loud as it got busy but that’s a tiny criticism of an overall great spot!
