Tønne Bar in Leicester

Ah, Tønne Bar – what a little charmer it is in the heart of Leicester. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's one of those places that just gets it right for a good evening with friends. The staff are top-notch, always up for a chat and quick to suggest a drink or point you towards nearby eateries, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. The drinks selection is spot on too; think cracking craft beers and inventive cocktails that keep things interesting without breaking the bank. And the vibe? It's got that perfect mix of cosy and lively, with music that's just the right level for nattering away without shouting over the top. The location's a winner as well, tucked into a lovely area with plenty of outdoor spots to enjoy a drink al fresco, especially on a sunny day. On the downside, though, it's a shame there's no website to easily scope out the details beforehand, and those operating hours can seem a bit confusing at first glance, so you might end up double-checking to make sure you're not turning up at the wrong time. Plus, it does get busy on peak evenings, which could mean a squeeze for space if you're not keen on crowds. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a friendly bar with a bit of character – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, but maybe pop in mid-week for a more laid-back feel.
