About This Pub

Ah, Sky Blue Tavern, what a gem in the heart of Coventry! From what I've gathered chatting about places like this, it's got that perfect mix of nostalgia and excitement, especially if you're a Coventry City FC supporter. The staff really shine through in the reviews; they're described as helpful and friendly, making every visit feel like catching up with old pals. The food steals the show too – fresh Indian dishes like biryani and loaded naans come in hefty portions at fair prices, leaving you satisfied without emptying your wallet. It's a top choice for watching the footy or hosting a function, with options to book booths or the function room that sound spot on for celebrations. On the flip side, it does get buzzing during matches, which is fantastic if you're up for it, but could be overwhelming if you fancy a more relaxed evening. And while it's brilliant for sports enthusiasts, non-fans might find the theme a bit overpowering. All in all, it's a solid pick for a night out, with enough positives to overlook the minor niggles – I'd say give it a go and see if it hits the mark for you!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is a real treat – think delicious Indian grills and generous portions that won't break the bank.
  • It's a brilliant spot for footy fans, with a nostalgic vibe celebrating Coventry City FC and all sorts of sports.
  • They've got great options for booking tables or hiring the space for events, perfect for a get-together.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for watching matches, with a chilled vibe that ramps up the excitement when the game's on.
Cons
  • It can get a bit lively and noisy during big games, which might not be ideal if you're after a quiet pint.
  • The football theme is strong, so if you're not into sports, it might feel a tad one-sided compared to a more general pub.
  • With moderate prices, it's good value, but some might find the options a bit limited if you're not in the mood for Indian food or sporty surroundings.

Walked in this Coventry city fc pub with my Manchester United shirt on. Received a warm welcome from the lovely bar lady, who was very helpful and friendly. Ordered a vegetable Biryani and a pint. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The beer was cold, well poured, and reasonably priced. 3 different football matches on simultaneously. If I were a local, I would be in here every week. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be coming back.

We visited this bar and had a really good time. It's a sports bar which sells pub grub as well as Indian food. The atmosphere is chilled in the afternoon but gets a bit louder if there's a game on. It's a great place to watch football whilst socialising and drinking/eating. We arrived in the evening as it was starting to get busy. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return in the future.

Lived nearby for years but only went here for the first time last week and annoyed I didn't know about this sooner haha. The food is delicious and very affordable. The portion sizes are generous. I got the paneer tikka loaded naan and it filled me right up. My partner got biryani and said it was delicious and slightly spicy.

We recently attended a wedding here at the weekend and it was incredible. The room was totally transformed and looked so good. The room was a perfect size for our function. The staff were very helpful. The food was fantastic, would definitely be back here again. Would highly recommend!
