    Few hiccups with food but they were resolved very quickly. Kelly was amazing, made us laugh and had the most beautiful vibe 🙂 The host Natalie was also incredible. We had a brilliant time!

    Massively enjoyed the night with our team to celebrate our recent achievement. We were impressed by the hospitality of Kelly and her charming personality; the band was very accommodating with our song requests and the food, were amazingly generous (couldn't even finish my Full Rack of Ribs 🫣).My friends love the Steak . The songs and the atmosphere, sooo good 👌🏼👌🏼

    Food was great! Amazing atmosphere. If you want to have a good time, come visit Playlist. The live band was so good. Our server Kelly was lovely and made things easier for our big group.

    The best best time at this brunch at Playlist Live!! We booked onto the reggae brunch so it was great music, vibes and food! Natalie in particular was simply the best - we were never without a drink! Honestly the best service I’ve gotten in a long time. Definitely recommend!! :)
