Bar 1997 in Wembley

Ah, Bar 1997 – it's one of those places in Wembley that's right by the stadium, making it a handy choice if you're catching a match or just fancy a laid-back afternoon. From what I've gathered from the chats online, the service hits the mark sometimes, with folks mentioning it's pretty decent and leaves you with a smile, especially if you're not too fussed about the cost. It's open every day from noon till 11, which is brilliant for spontaneity. On the flip side, though, it's not all smooth sailing; a few have grumbled about slow pours at the bar, beers that aren't quite up to scratch – like they're a bit flat – and the loos being less than spotless, which can really take the edge off. Prices are a bit steep too, so if you're watching your wallet, it might not be the best bet. Overall, it's a middling spot that could do with a bit more polish, but if you're in the area and up for a simple pint, it's worth a go – just keep your expectations in check and maybe plan for a quick one rather than settling in for the evening.
