Really glad to see the ol Dog & Duck get a fresh update with the help of Fabric! Really liked the layout and look of the place! Very nice bar and door staff who were having fun and making the vibe really nice, and drinks were ridiculously well priced across the board! Music could be a little bit more innovative or different, it really feels like Woolshed or Cherry 2.0 instead of sticking out like Dog & Duck did, but it's mostly good!
Only real issue I have is the security, who get a bit aggressive at times and take away from the atmosphere. I was pretty tired after having a good night of drinking, and took a nap on one of the couches on the main floor to take a break, only to be woken up very aggressively by a security guard and escorted out as if I had gotten into a fight. I do understand that there were a lot of people there on the opening night but it would be nice if the security could respect those who haven't done anything wrong and be more polite in asking them to leave if necessary.
Besides that, really good place, nice to see the revamp be so successful, hopefully it lasts! Will definitely be coming back - albeit wishing that some elements were a little more improved!
