About This Pub

Ah, The Distillery – it's one of those pubs that just hits the mark for a relaxed evening or a bit of a celebration, tucked away on Market Street in Leicester. From what I've gathered, the staff really stand out; they're so attentive and cheerful, like Josh or Sabrina who folks rave about, ensuring your drinks keep flowing and everything runs smoothly. The craft beers and cocktails are spot on, with deals that make it feel like a proper treat without breaking the bank, and that bottomless brunch sounds like a laugh – good grub and endless options to keep the energy up. It's got a lovely, dimly lit vibe that's perfect for chatting over a pint or catching the latest match, and with the beer garden and event spaces, it's flexible for all sorts of get-togethers. On the downside, it does get heaving at times, so you might find yourself needing to hurry along if tables are in demand, and while the prices are fair, they might not suit if you're after something super cheap. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a warm, engaging spot – I'd say give it a go, but maybe book ahead to avoid any hassles.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of craft beers and cocktails, with some tasty deals like 2-for-1 offers that make it great value for a night out.
  • The bottomless brunch is a real winner, with good quality food, generous portions, and plenty of drinks to keep the fun going.
  • The atmosphere is spot on – that smooth, dark lighting creates a cosy vibe, perfect for catching up with friends or watching live sports.
  • It's well set up for events, with options for private hire and a beer garden, making it versatile for birthdays, hen dos, or just a casual pint.
Cons
  • It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends, so you might end up having to wrap up quickly if you're on a reserved table.
  • With moderate pricing, it might feel a bit steep for everyday visits if you're watching the pennies, though the deals help soften that blow.
  • While the food and drinks are solid, there might not be a huge variety for those with very specific tastes or dietary needs.

Came for a friend’s birthday for bottomless bunch and the whole experience was flawless. Josh was great throughout our visit, made sure our drinks were plentiful and was super attentive. Food was good quality and good portion sizes. Well worth the money and would highly recommend!

Staff were all super friendly, and I thought the food menu was reasonably priced too. We had a table for 4. Came in on a busy Saturday afternoon and most tables reserved. They seated us in a reserved table with the instruction to be finished before the table came in, which we were happy to do. We all enjoyed our food, and my pizza was very tasty. Only a few minor complaints are that a friends Old Mout was flat, my garlic bread was a little cold and my parters Christmas burger was served with the smallest pig in blanket I’ve ever seen. But all tasted good, I’d definitely return back anyway.
