Well, they certainly cater to the party goer, especially with the huge selection of (cheap and nasty) costumes that are available. They also claim to be a specialist in helium balloons, and they certainly have a huge range of balloons available. In fact they had these little draws each containing a different sort of balloon.

I work nearby and knew that my lunch breaks would not be filled with lunch and gossip, but with ridiculous dress-up montages. Masquerade is a good'un and the staff are very helpful. I have recently been in and asked for "Dopey, from the seven dwarfs. You know... the dumb one?" I had them at Dopey.
