Top 30 Best Bars for events in Kingston Upon Thames

“This was our first visit as we were just visiting the area for a few days. It was absolutely fantastic. The ambience of the place is amazing and the food is so delicious, fresh and authentically Lebanese/Arabic. The portions were very generous and we just could not stop eating. The bread was freshly baked and so tasty. Amazing service from the lovely staff Levi and Ali who were very welcoming and professional. A very special thanks to the chef, Hani. We wanted a couple of things changed on the dishes we had ordered and we did not mention this before until we were served with our food. However, the chef gladly accommodated this and brought back our dishes exactly like we wanted and with a smile. Couldn't have had a better meal. He even made a special dessert for us which was just so tasty and mouth watering that we ordered another portion to take away with us. Please make sure you add this to your menu? Highly recommend.”

“Great bar! The staff were amazing, friendly and fun! Great choices of drinks including rattler in bottles which I was sooo happy about! The jukebox is awesome full of all rock metal and lots of other music! Pool table is good and a nice function room. Not the biggest place but had lots of fun.”

“Lovely weekend lunch! The menu isn't extensive but there is enough choice and nobody felt they had to compromise. The kids menu was very good, plenty of options to cater for simpler and more adventurous tastes. The triple cooked chips, these days almost a pub cliché, are worthy of a special mention! Clean plates all around. What more can you ask for?”

“Perhaps the best Sunday roast I had in 8y living in the UK. I’ve been there with friends and I ordered the Jacob’s ladder to share. The meat was absolutely phenomenal, incredibly tasty and perfectly cooked (12h slow cook). Each vegetable served with meat (roast potato, carrot and butternut squash purée, etc) was flavourful as well as the Yorkshire pudding. The pub is very nice and it’s located just 5 min away from the old market square in Kingston. Friendly staff, reasonable prices”

“Nice relaxed vibe inside, friendly people & reasonable prices..it has dart boards & pool tables. This is not a place you can just walk in, you will either need to be a member & own a membership card to enter, or you can be signed in by a trusted membership holder. Located behind Wilkinsons on kingston High Street”

“Honestly best lunch/dinner takeaway place by far. 10/10. After trying many takeaways i'd say this place has the most variant of delicious dishes with quality. Their pizza is amazing.”

“Really lovely pub with great Thai food and very welcoming too. It is also dog friendly which makes it 100x better. My dog had the best time ever playing with the owners dog. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning very soon!”

“Starters Mains and Desserts, on point no complains. The Burgers were Delicious and full of flavour. Food and Service was Excellent, Not too Crowded. They also have Happy Hour Cocktails.”

“You sort of know what you're going to get with an O'Neill's, which is a good thing. I was very impressed here, the security was efficient and friendly. Although it was busy, there was a good atmosphere and the service was very quick. The fight was being shown on various screens around the pub, and although that's not my thing, the rest of the atmosphere was good. One of the better branches in the chain.”

“Great play area for children aged 3-12 yrs old. My kids loved it! Lovely staff happy to help an assist you. This place is a clean and safe environment for kids to play and let off steam”

“My daughter loves coming to her dance class with Traceworks. I loved watching the class and seeing her beautiful dancing. The teacher was fantastic and overall I was very impressed.”

“If I could give this place 20 stars then I would because it is absolutely amazing in this place. The staff is amazing also the food is top quality, I highly recommend to try the chicken wings too!”

“I stayed at short notice due to horrible plumbing issues at home meaning I couldn’t stay in my flat that night. I was feeling very upset and let down by the managing agent of the building I live in as they had not been very helpful. Then I was checked in by Irena. She was so kind, helpful and caring and really made me feel better and start to smile when all of wanted to do was cry or scream till then. The room was decent and the facilities were as expected.”

“I loved it here! went with some of my queer friends and we all had a great time! All of the staff were so bloody welcoming, from security, to the ticket guy. Bar service was really quick even though they were busy & they played an amazing range of R&B music! The DJ was so nice & shoutout to Hannah at the bar, she was truly the sweetest! Can’t wait to be back”

“It was amazing experience at the Wych Elm. 5 star food and super friendly staff. We celebrated my husband birthday there and they prepared for the balloons and decorations. Highly recommended and we definitely will come back!”

“Friendly staff, food was tasty, generous portions and the shop looks clean. I will be exploring the menu further on the future.”

“Always an exciting experience in this lively bar on the Kingston/Surbiton border. Family friendly in the day for us to watch the football and enjoy a pint. Made most welcome by big Andy behind the bar and a place to return”

“One of the few remaining “proper pubs” in the area and it’s fantastic - warm welcome from the bar staff, fantastic ales, friendly locals - so glad to have found the Park Tavern!”

“The manager and staff were amazing on Friday evening. We arrived with a Spanish exchange group of 32 teenagers and 8 adults! Many more than planned. The staff dealt with this brilliantly and took it all in their stride. Fantastic work guys! Thank you again! Vicky”

“Old school pub, great for locals and brilliant on a match night! They have sky and last time I went for a rugby match game it was packed. Staff are friendly and attentive also! Recommend!!”

“Lovely pub to visit. My friend and I had an amazing time. Staff are super friendly and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this pub for families, couples, friends or whatever the event may be. The fresh flowers were lovely. It's really clean music just at the right level. And the beer on tap also amazing whatever you choose from larger to Guinness staff knew how to pour a pint or 2. I would highly recommend.”

“A excellent range of real ales and ciders . A large interior with a bar in the middle. Snooker table and board games available. A exchange book service too. Also does pizzas to eat in with which where very nice as we tried three out of the four on offer Light music on throughout the pub and TV Screens showing sport but they will switch off if annoying. Well worth going to.”

“Had a fabulous evening at The Spring Grove recently. Staff were so friendly and accommodating to allergies that I have. The manager Alex was helpful with this and also recommended some tasty gins! I had the Porchetta to eat and it was delicious. I will definitely be returning in the near future. Excited to see the plans that the manager told me has for the pub!”

“Great pub with an awesome live music vibe. The new landlord is doing a cracking job. Decent beer on tap and a good pub menu as well. Highly recommended!”

“Booked the Boaters for a work Christmas meal and couldn't have been happier with the evening. Staff were friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food was excellent and the table had been decorated beautifully with crackers! We booked on a Tuesday evening and there was a quiz going on the other side of the pub but this didn't disturb us at all.”

“Lovely pub with excellent beers. stopped by while visiting the area and was made to feel incredibly welcome by the staff.”

“Gorgeous decor and ambience. The staff there were totally out of this world. I was there working as a digital nomad during the day and despite the fact the young lady on the bar was alone in the morning, she went out of her way to check I was okay whilst managing other customers. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Food was delicious. Total gem of a place! I'll be back :)”

“Nicole and izzie were amazing, so friendly and they gave an outstanding service. Drinks were perfect. Free sport on projectors and tv’s all around the place. There’s the option to play some snooker/pull if you’re up for it. Cheap drinks, student discount, a great mix of music (80s-present) and very friendly service. I would highly, highly recommend to anyone who wants a great night.”
