Vibrant bars 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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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”

“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”

“My daughter visited the club for the first time last weekend. She had an amazing time and I was beyond impressed with the policies they have in place to ensure the welfare of vulnerable girls. They absolutely look out for their patrons; their welfare and safety. It is nice to know as a parent that these clubs have protective policies in place. I wish all clubs did and I commend them for all they do. Truly remarkable!”

“One of my favourite locals The Park Tavern is a "proper pub". Excellent ales. No craft beers though. Excellent range of snacks. Good atmosphere. Friendly people.”

“What a lovely place. Always fun to go there . We been regular for few years now. Staff is polite.”

“A vibe! Food was great and the interior aesthetic was definitely insta-worthy! We ordered: Elote, Chimichangas, Beef burrito, prawn tacos, and Churros for dessert. Also the chicken taco from the kids menu - best Mexican food we've had in a long time, everything was zingy and fresh, and not stodgy or packet-tasting. Especially recommend the prawn tacos. Staff are friendly and attentive. Price was fair for what was offered. Nothing else like this in West London, particularly grateful that it's Halal! Will definitely be back with friends!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Can't go wrong with a hot dog from Woody's. Would also definitely recommend getting the loaded chips. The staff are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is really good.”

“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.”

“The finest shisha lounge around filled with excellent customer service including top quality shisha flavours and pipes. The new refurb is top quality as well as the food produced by top quality chefs. I definitely reccomend this place for anyone.”

“Great gastro pub food and excellent service from attentive, non pushy staff. Good menu selection includes veg/vegan. Booked for a Saturday late lunch for our 1 year anniversary and enjoyed decent steaks (1 rare, 1 med) with blue cheese sauce (on the side), fries and mushrooms. Very relaxed, despite it being quite busy we didn't feel rushed so enjoyed our drinks and took our time ordering dessert - one apple crumble (pictured) and a very sticky (good thing!) treacle tart with a (slightly small but proper) blob of whipped cream. Lovely early Christmas atmosphere.”

“Lovely food for great value, and the service was quick, pleasant and polite. It was quite busy, although rushed off their feet, the servers still made time to make sure you were enjoying yourself/food. Would definitely recommend this spoons! (They have toilets downstairs, which I had not experienced at a spoons)”

“Consistently great range of big name and upcoming comedians in a small local venue you'd probably never otherwise know about.”
