Aluna

3.5 The place is clean and nice. Their menu is simple and best value for money are their set menus. Food was good. The staff paid great attention to the person with allergies which is good. The cocktails were tasty tho we asked if the lava cocktail was looking like a lava lamp. Which was confirmed, but then came a juice looking drink because they had run out of the lava element. If you knew we ordered it for that, why not telling us? Anyway, overall good place but not outstanding in any way.

Very disappointing experience. Our first visit to this venue, server sat us down and I asked for something special as it was my wife’s birthday. Server recommended the Glitterbomb for her as he said it’s pretty cool in a test tube and smoking. For me, I ordered a Smokey Old-Fashioned. With four staff around you think this would have been quite quick to make. Server came over with the bill and thrust the card reader towards me. After paying and checking the bill saw that there is a charity payment of £1 and 10% (discretionary) service charge added. Not very appropriate if it’s just charged to your card before you’ve even seen the bill. But put that aside and who doesn’t like to support a charity and give good service a deserved tip! I paid for the drinks at 20:19. At 20:25 the same server asked if we’d ordered food! I said no but we’d like our drinks. My wife’s drink was finally made and put onto the side of the bar at 20:32 where we watched the smoke rise out of the ‘test tube’! And watched, and watched. Finally, when my drink was made at 20:36 and put on the side, the drinks were served but by that time there was nothing left to be seen of the special glitterbomb smoke spectacular! And for £12.50, you’d expect some fireworks. Staff on their phones and just disinterested made it a very poor experience. Needless to say we won’t return.

Every part of our evening at this venue was on point. From the event management to the on site staff, you literally couldn’t ask for more. The food was so good, fresh and tasty. The service was attentive and professional. I can’t rate this place high enough and I’ve eaten in a lot of places. Try it for yourself and enjoy.

Great bar, good food vibrant atmosphere, cocktails looked amazing too.

An impromptu visit to Aluna for a couple of drinks in the sun. Sitting canalside as the sun shines and you're served the best cocktails - nothing not to love. Speedy service, helpful and attentive staff and perfect settings - no notes! Special mention to Michael - service with a smile 🙂

Loved the attention to detail the bartenders gave to their creations and the amount of choice was phenomenal. My friend and I opted for a death cauldron at £25 to share and after being prompted to sprinkle dry ice after the pyrotechnics carried it over to the table. This really knocked our socks off! We had one more afterwards another death in its name which i needed help to finish. Overall really strong creative well made cocktails overlooking the canal!

Delicious food attentive staff. Great DJ. Definitely returning
