Isabel's Restaurant & Bar

Verified
4.9(274 reviews)
97/100
Isabel's Restaurant & Bar is a chic spot in Burton-on-Trent that's all about high-end food, cracking cocktails, and a welcoming vibe, though it does come with a higher price tag on drinks.

Areas for Improvement

The Coopers Tavern

Verified
4.7(733 reviews)
94/100
The Coopers Tavern is a delightful historic pub in Burton-on-Trent, serving up superb beers and a warm, welcoming vibe that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of Joule's ales like Pale Ale and Slumbering Monk, plus that classic cask Bass poured straight from the barrel – it's a real treat for any beer enthusiast.
  • The historical atmosphere is charming; it's like stepping back in time with its original brewer's house vibes, cosy snugs, and a log burner that makes winter evenings feel extra welcoming.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options are pretty limited to bar snacks like cobs and crisps, so if you're after a hearty meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
  • It can get quite busy with its buzzy atmosphere, which might make it tricky to find a quiet spot during peak times.

'Must go to pub' in Burton. The Calcutta 1777 ale was sublime and the Green Monkey lager was excellent. A delightful pub and would love to see some live music there.

Amazing pub. It was originally a place where the brewers from Joules brewery gathered to sample their wares, now it's a great pub without a bar in the traditional sense. All of the fabulous Joules ale...

Tower Brewery

4.9(59 reviews)
94/100
Tower Brewery is a real hidden gem in Burton-on-Trent, dishing out superb beers and a lively atmosphere, but you'll have to catch it on Sundays to enjoy it.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer is absolutely top-notch, with a fantastic selection of ales and IPAs that have that perfect balance of flavours – it's easy to see why it's so highly praised.
  • The atmosphere is brilliant, especially with events like DJ nights and live music, making it a fun spot to catch up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open one day a week on Sundays from 4 PM, which can make it tricky to plan a visit and feels like a missed opportunity.
  • The location might require a bit of a walk from the town centre, so getting there could be a hassle if you're not driving or catching a bus.

Brews Of The World is a cracking little bar in Burton-on-Trent with an incredible beer range and welcoming vibes, though it's currently closed and lacks easy access to info.

Areas for Improvement
  • The closing times can be a bit on the early side, typically wrapping up around 4 PM, which might cut short your evening plans if you're after a late-night session.
  • There's not much info on food options beyond snacks, so if you're looking for a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere.

Confessions is a delightful converted church in Burton-on-Trent that's perfect for special occasions, boasting stunning historical features and brilliant service that leaves everyone buzzing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The venue's historical charm is absolutely captivating—think high vaulted ceilings and original stained glass windows that make you feel like you're stepping into a storybook.
  • The staff, especially Hannah and her team, are top-notch; they're incredibly attentive and go out of their way to ensure everything runs smoothly, from setup to the big day itself.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's not your typical spot for a casual pint—more of an event-focused venue, so if you're after a laid-back evening without planning ahead, it might not hit the mark.
  • Everything's by appointment only, which means you can't just wander in on a whim; it's all about booking in advance, which could feel a bit restrictive.

The Last Heretic is a charming little micropub in Burton-on-Trent that's all about cracking beers and a warm welcome, though it's not without its quirks like limited space and variable hours.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of craft beers, ales, ciders, and stouts is top-notch, with plenty of options straight from the cask that really hit the spot.
  • The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to strike up a chat or enjoy a quiet pint on your own.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub is quite small, so it can feel a bit cosy – or crowded – at times, which might not suit everyone.
  • Prices can be a tad steep, especially for those strong ABV brews, so it might hit the wallet a little harder than your average local.

  • The staff and the crowd are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating that warm, community feel you don't always find these days.
Areas for Improvement

Oak & Ivy is a lovely traditional pub in Burton that's all about that warm, friendly vibe and cracking events, making it a top pick for a relaxed pint or celebration.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, especially Michelle, who goes above and beyond to make everyone feel right at home – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • That beer garden is a hidden gem; it's spacious and perfect for gatherings, whether you're watching the match or celebrating a special occasion.
Areas for Improvement
  • The location's a bit tucked away in an area where other pubs have closed down, so it might not be the easiest spot to stumble upon if you're new to Burton.
  • Food seems to be more event-based, like after games or parties, so if you're popping in for a casual meal, options might be limited or uncertain.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

Areas for Improvement
  • That recent review was a bit of a downer, even if it sounded positive overall, suggesting things might not always be spot on lately.
  • The opening hours seem a tad confusing from the info available, so you might want to double-check to avoid any disappointment.

The Old Royal Oak in Burton-on-Trent is a cracking little pub with a lively vibe, excellent drinks, and plenty of entertainment – it's one of those places that just makes you want to stay for another round.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of drinks is absolutely brilliant – think proper ales, lagers, gins, rums, and beers, all served in top condition, with staff happy to recommend something new.
  • It's got a really warm and friendly atmosphere, especially since the new landlord took over, making it feel like a proper local spot where everyone’s welcome.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food menu is pretty limited, just sticking to those rolls, so if you're after a full meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a bit tricky to check the latest details or events before you go.

  • It's got that classic traditional pub vibe, which is a rare find these days and really adds to the community spirit.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are a bit on the early side, typically wrapping up around 10 PM, which might not suit late-night folks.
  • It seems like a straightforward, no-frills spot, so if you're after something more modern or fancy, it might feel a tad outdated.

Quiet pub good atmosphere when pool matches are on

I had a very nice pint of Burton Bridge bitter. It's very close to Burton Albion FC. I would imagine Saturday lunchtime will be very busy come the new season.

Good pub for a pre match beer. Great Chease and Onion rolls and friendly service

The Lord Burton is a classic Wetherspoon pub offering great value for money, with a spacious layout and a cracking beer garden that makes it a go-to for a relaxed drink or meal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food and drinks are incredibly affordable, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly pint or meal without skimping on quality.
  • It's spacious with plenty of seating, and the beer garden is a real gem, especially on a sunny day – perfect for soaking up the rays.
Areas for Improvement
  • As a chain pub, it can sometimes feel a bit generic and lacking in that unique, cosy atmosphere you'd get from an independent spot.
  • It might get quite busy at peak times, which could mean waits for service or finding a seat, especially in a lively town like Burton-on-Trent.

Great Spoons in Burton. The usual combination of food at reasonable prices, real ales and good service. Definitely one I'll be returning to, every time I'm in festivals down the road at Catton Hall.

Great, just like all chain pubs. Quite spacious, with lots of seating. The service is great.
Happy Tourist
Credit to Spoons for selling some of the locally brewed ales in this former Woolies store. A huge beer yarden at the back is a great ☀️ trap - even in January!

Bar XV in Burton-on-Trent is a lively spot for cocktail lovers with friendly vibes and great deals, but it can be pricey and a bit hit-or-miss on the atmosphere.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, especially for special events like cocktail classes – they'll make you feel right at home.
  • They've got some cracking cocktails with great deals, like 2-4-1 until 7pm, perfect for a fun night out without breaking the bank early on.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit steep on the wallet, like paying over £26 for a couple of G&Ts – ouch, that adds up quickly.
  • The atmosphere might feel cold and unwelcoming at times, with some folks mentioning it's not the cosiest spot, and even run-ins with rude guests.

Tried this place Saturday night for drinks whilst visiting Burton. £26.10 for 2 x G&T?

A very cold and unwelcoming place. Drinks are expensive, no cocktails, and the place is very cold. I have been here twice, never again. First, a random male guest bumped and shouted at me for no reaso...
