About This Pub
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.

Looked through me while they served everyone else who had gotten there after me
such bad security not safe for women and the small black bouncer is a weirdo and grabs people
The drinks are cheap for a Leicester bar. The staff are great and because it’s pretty out the way it’s not packed but there’s enough people there for it to have a great atmosphere. Definitely a good place to go for a chill night out.
Love this place! They have a great atmosphere and the staff are lovely! Variety of drinks, seating, music and entertainment can easily keep you going all night! - I didn’t have any £1 coins for the pool table but it was fine because the gentleman at the bar changed my coins for £1. Nothing was too much trouble for them even on a busy night! 😊🍹🍺 THANK YOU!
It's a cooky homey underground bar with the best bar staff and the top man Martin at the helm. This charming place is truly an Oddbar and we wouldn't have it any other way.
