oddbar in Leicester

Ah, Oddbar – it's one of those hidden gems in Leicester that I've heard mixed things about, and honestly, it's got that quirky, homely feel that makes you want to settle in for the evening. From what folks are saying, the drinks are a real bargain compared to other spots around, and the staff often go the extra mile to make you feel at home – like sorting out change for the pool table without any fuss. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance; it's not heaving with people, so you can actually chat and enjoy the music without shouting over the crowd. That said, it's not all smooth sailing – a few recent chats online mention getting skipped at the bar, which is a bit of a downer when you're trying to have a good time. And there are some worrying stories about security not being up to scratch, which might put some off, especially if you're after a safe, hassle-free visit. All in all, if you're up for a chilled-out pint or two in a unique setting, it's worth popping in, but maybe keep your expectations in check and go with a group for that extra peace of mind. It's got that solid 4.4 rating going for it, so plenty of people clearly love the place, but like any pub, it's got its rough edges too.
