Top 30 Best Friendly bars in Kingston Upon Thames

“Chloe was very helpful and gave incredible service to me. I’ve never had my brows waxed before but will definitely have it done again with her. They looked amazing!!!”

“After an amazing haircut by John recently in his Kingston shop, I thought I'd pop into his soho venture to pick up some of his grooming products for my boyfriends birthday and it did not disappoint!! This shop is a fab wee find in soho, would definitely recommend taking a jaunt round if you're looking for a unique wee gift or a treat for yourself!”

“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.”

“My husband and I are so pleased to see L'Assaggino opened in Kingston after our lovely experience at the Richmond restaurant. The staff at lunchtime today were very pleasant and helpful, the menu was varied & interesting and the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced considering the very high quality of it; the wine we chose was so nice we wanted to buy some to bring home. We look forward to returning to what could well be our new favourite local. Well done to the whole team there, we wish you all continued success.”

“Fantastic fish and chips, always cooked fresh to order and very friendly service. A fantastic local fish and chip shop, our new “go to” place in Kingston Upon Thames for fish and chips in the evening!”

“Excellent range of products, much better prices than you'll find in other stores, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!”

“One of my favourite place for dinner in Kingston aria . Always delicious food and great customer service. See you soon xx”

“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”

“A fantastic meal and great value for money, complimented by hard work, attentive waiting staff. We will definitely return for another “date night” here in the future.”

“So blessed that I found this restaurant near the river. It was a sunny day and good vibe at Cote. The staff were super nice and polite, food were ok. Definitely recommend to anyone who visits Kingston and wants to have a chill and relaxed day.”

“Just spent a lovely evening at the Black Horse for the first time. Took my family for a Sunday Roast and it was exceptional. Really great food and atmosphere, plus service with a big smile from the lad behind the bar Jamie. All in all a great way to end the weekend.”

“This is a lovely pub with a friendly and helpful landlord! It's near both bus and train station, in Kingston! Had a great pint of Irish real ale! We also had a really good meal, a mixed grill, which was also a good price and filled us up, we will b going back!!”

“Excellent experience. Great addition to Curzon family. Great sound system, good size screens and comfy seats. Shame a tad on the pricey side.”

“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!”

“Very friendly place. Really enjoyed the food. Not too pricy for the quality. I totally recommend this restaurant. Leo from Switzerland (02APR2023)”

“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.”

“We saw the new ant-men and it was awesome. The cinema was nearly empty so even better. Good service, clean and not too many kids in the theatre, absolutely amazing”

“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”

“This is the first time I have been here and I'll be back! Spotlessly clean. The lady that did my threading was really good. Quick and relatively painless. Friendly service and good value. Can't beat it! They deserve your custom.”

“Absolutely lovley have been to a few nail places before and usually everyone is rude but these people are absolutely amazing so friendly and I felt so comfortable getting my nails done.”

“Nice guy.. got a bathroom of them not just the kitchen”

“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.”

“We visited there after a long walk by the river, this is a great place to catch up with friends if you prefer a quieter environment in the afternoon. The club sandwich and pizza we had was very nice.”

“This is the second time that I have been to Kingston tenpin bowling in the last few months. I have to say this experience was 100% better than my last experience. I appreciated the level of respect I received and reassurance that this visit would be better. I have to say that the communication I had with the area manager gave me perspective and made me have better respect because he truly understood the meaning of customer service and customer loyalty. We also had food and I really would recommend the ultimate burger with the crispy fries. When you first look at it it looks like it's not going to taste very nice or have much flavour. But from the first bite to the last chip I enjoyed every single bite and I would definitely order it again.”
