Such a fun place to go for Christmas magic. The place is decorated in so many lightsits amazing. The Weber’s were helpful and attentive. We had mocktails and the spinach artichoke dip and both were delicious. Worth checking out.

Have been here twice now.
Both times to enjoy the Christmas explosion.
Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks.
Bar looks amazing.
Other customers are very friendly.
We have gone as a couple and as a family.
Food is very reasonable and extremely good.
Bar far my favourite is the Irish bag, we also tried dumplings, wings and desserts.
The beer option is good.
Highly recommend

Nan’s Parlour absolutely nailed the Christmas ambience. The decorations were beautiful, the music set the mood perfectly, and the overall vibe felt very festive and fun β€” exactly what you want on a Friday night to ring in the holiday season. The door woman was also fantastic: welcoming, friendly, and greeting everyone with a genuine smile.

Unfortunately, the experience was let down by our server. She came across as rude and disengaged, which really stood out in contrast to the otherwise warm atmosphere. For a busy Friday night during the holidays, I also expected a more presentable dress code β€” showing up in a very baggy tracksuit didn’t match the setting or occasion.

Such a shame, because with better service this place could be a real standout during the festive season

Great place with a Christmas atmosphere. The only thing if you’re sitting close to the exit door, could be a bit cool while many people are going into and out of the bar. Drinks and cocktails are good πŸ‘

We stopped into Nan’s Parlour before our Choir! Choir! Choir! event at the NAC last night and absolutely loved it. The service was wonderfulβ€”friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was delicious, and the whole atmosphere felt incredibly festive and fun. A perfect spot to kick off an evening out. We’ll definitely be back! From the eager beavers 🦫
