Amazing night spent celebrating my wife’s Bday at the Rainbow!! We booked the cocktail lounge behind the main bar, it was an excellent space that fitted us all in perfectly and created and intimate space to enjoy the party away from the main bar. The staff are excellent, nothing too much trouble and served easily from our own bar. The venue is well equipped and while we didn’t make use of the TV’s and private music option (just didn’t have time to plan it), the atmosphere on a busy Saturday night made the evening really enjoyable. Thank you so much Rainbow, great to see the place is bigger and better than ever before!!

My organisation had an end of year celebration party at this venue, and we had a really great time. The food was delicious (and the vegans in the group had heard of Ba Ha vegan and were particularly excited to try it). Cocktails were delicious, and they had a 2 for 1 special available which was great. The staff were fantastic, can’t say enough good things about them. Jimmy and his team took such good care of us. We’ll definitely be back!
