The Mesmerist, The Bird Cage

We had our Work Christmas party here last night and Jasmine was our waitress. There were 25 of us having the bottomless brunch and she did an incredible job making sure that we are all had drinks at all times. The food was great. Everyone enjoyed it and after the bunch had finished We were given an area downstairs where the DJ was to carry on the party The atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone was up dancing, the Christmas decorations were beautiful and Jasmine did an incredible job the whole night looking after us. A great big thank you to her!

Me and my boyfriend came here on probably the last summers day of 2025 and what a wonderful place it is! We sat in the upstairs roof Top area and it was absolutely wonderful, the drinks were fabulous and very well priced and we loved seeing the beautiful art and flowers around the place! Will definitely be coming back throughout 2026

We visited Memerist on Saturday evening (17 January) to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. Up until closing time, we were having a really lovely night as a family — relaxed, happy, and enjoying the atmosphere. Sadly, the way the evening ended completely overshadowed everything that came before it. This was also my son’s very first night out since turning 18, something he was genuinely excited about and something we were sharing together as a family. As the bar was closing, the bar manager (who said his name was Dooey) approached my son and abruptly told him he had to leave. My son calmly explained that he was waiting for me (his father) and his mother, we were at our table getting out coats on with the rest of our family. Despite this, the manager became increasingly aggressive, repeating his demands and speaking to my son in a confrontational and intimidating manner. I intervened immediately, as it was upsetting to watch my son being spoken to like that. I explained that he had done nothing wrong — something I personally witnessed, as did others around us. The manager then accused my son of being rude, which was simply not true. He had been polite throughout and was simply waiting for his parents. What should have been a warm, memorable end to a family birthday celebration — and my son’s first night out as an adult — turned into an upsetting and unnecessary confrontation. It left us shocked, disappointed, and genuinely upset. No parent expects their child to be treated that way in what should be a welcoming and safe environment. It’s such a shame, because we had genuinely enjoyed the night until that moment — but due to how this was handled, we will not be returning.
