94/100
The Blue Boar is a delightful little pub in Leicester, where cracking ales, friendly faces, and a relaxed chat make for a top-notch pint and catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on – they've got a cracking range of craft cask ales, including their own brews that are full of character and flavour.
  • It's got that warm, welcoming vibe where you can have a proper chat with friendly locals and staff; no distractions from telly or music, just good old conversation.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub can get quite packed, especially on busier days, so you might struggle to bag a seat and end up standing or sharing a table.
  • With no background music or entertainment, it might feel a bit quiet if you're after a more lively night out – it's all about the chat, which isn't for everyone.

  • A few dishes might not hit the mark every time, with some starters or mains coming across as just average rather than outstanding.

4.5(764 reviews)
90/100
Wygston's House is a charming historic gem in Leicester, offering brilliant food, warm service, and a cosy vibe, though it's not flawless with the odd dish falling short.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic building creates a really cosy and unique atmosphere, making it feel like a step back in time while still being welcoming.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make your visit enjoyable.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit inconsistent, like the steak that one person found dry and lacking in flavour.
  • Occasionally, certain items such as the fried fish fingers sandwich might come out a tad greasy, which takes away from the enjoyment.

Bar Dos Hermanos is a charming Cuban-inspired bar in Leicester, serving up brilliant cocktails and tasty bites with top-notch service, though it can get lively and the hours might need a quick check.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot on – fresh garnishes and authentic spirits that make you feel like you're in Havana, with deals like two for £12 during happy hours.
  • The staff are an absolute delight, always friendly and attentive, making every visit feel warm and welcoming.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a bit confusing with conflicting info, so it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid disappointment.
  • It tends to get quite busy, especially on weekends, which might mean waits for a table or that cosy spot you were hoping for.

33 Cank Street is a charming cocktail bar in Leicester that's all about cracking drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, though you might want to keep an eye on the service side of things.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot on – they've got a brilliant selection of classics and some inventive in-house creations that always hit the mark.
  • It's got such a cosy, intimate vibe in the heart of Leicester's old town, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was one off-putting experience with a staff member who was reportedly quite rude and messed up a booking, which could spoil an otherwise good night.
  • It seems like there might be occasional hiccups with table reservations, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any disappointments.

Grand Union is a friendly Leicester pub with a lively vibe, solid food, and helpful staff, though seating might not always hit the mark.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially before events like rugby matches – it's a smart, welcoming spot that gets you in the mood for a good time.
  • Food and service are top-notch; reviews rave about the excellent grub and reasonable prices, making it a great value for a night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some seating arrangements can feel a bit awkward, like ending up at a huge table when you're with a small group, or not having enough space for everyone.
  • It might not suit every crowd perfectly, as a few have noted it's more 'cheap and cheerful' without anything particularly groundbreaking.

King Richard III is a charming pub in Leicester with a buzzing atmosphere, cracking food, and welcoming staff, but it falls short on beer options and opening hours.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is fantastic, especially for enjoying new local music talent – it's a lively spot that really gets you in the mood for a good night out.
  • The food is absolutely top-notch; think exceptional flavours like that Philly Steak burger with loaded fries – it's a real treat if you're after something hearty and delicious.
Areas for Improvement
  • Not a wide selection of draft beers, which might leave you wanting more if you're a real ale fan.
  • Only open four days a week with fairly early closing times, so it's a bit tricky to catch if you're planning a spontaneous visit.

Areas for Improvement

  • It can be quieter than you'd hope, even on a Saturday night, so it might not always feel buzzing.

Areas for Improvement

Areas for Improvement
  • Food service hours are a bit limited, so if you're popping in later in the evening, you might miss out on grabbing a bite.
  • No one under 18 after 7pm means it's not ideal for family outings in the evenings, which could be a downside if you're with little ones.

The Bottle Garden is a stylish cocktail bar in Leicester with a welcoming vibe and great drinks, but it's let down by inconsistent service at times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are often friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home, especially if you're after a bit of table service on a busy night.
  • They've got a cracking selection of cocktails, mocktails, and other drinks, plus a bit of food on offer, which makes it ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates or even a romantic date.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss, with some experiences involving rude staff or slow responses, which might put a dampener on your evening.
  • Coffee isn't their forte, as a few have complained about wrong orders or basic mistakes, like serving a cappuccino instead of a flat white.

Firebug in Leicester is a buzzing pub that's ace for live music and a good feed, but it does have its rough patches that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The live music and club nights are fantastic – it's a real hub for Leicester's music and arts scene, with events that keep the energy high and the crowds coming back.
  • They've got a great selection of food and drinks, including fresh, homemade options that cater to vegans, vegetarians, and those needing gluten-free choices, all at reasonable prices and often locally sourced.
Areas for Improvement
  • The atmosphere can feel a bit dark and dingy, which might not suit everyone, especially if you're after something brighter and more welcoming.
  • The toilets and floors can be a letdown – they're often described as gross and sticky, which takes away from the overall experience.

Areas for Improvement

  • Not every visit is flawless, as some folks have mentioned occasional service hitches that could dampen the mood.

Revolution Leicester is a cracking spot in the city centre, blending top-notch cocktails, hearty grub, and warm service for a memorable outing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, attentive, and they really make you feel welcome, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • The food and drinks are spot on; think tasty pizzas, burgers, and creative cocktails that hit the spot, especially with those happy hour deals.
Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can drag on a bit, which might put a damper on things if you're in a rush.
  • It's closed on Mondays, so if you're planning a midweek outing, you'll have to pick another day.

Walkabout in Leicester is a cracking sports bar that's ideal for catching live matches and enjoying group deals, but keep an eye out for the odd organisational glitch.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic for watching live sports with loads of HD screens dotted around, so you never miss a moment of the action.
  • Brilliant value on deals like bottomless brunch and tasty options such as burgers and wings – perfect for a fun day out with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasional booking mix-ups can leave you out in the cold, which is a bit of a letdown when you've got your heart set on a table.
  • Menus aren't always bang up to date, so what you order might not quite match the description, leading to a few surprises.

Hogarths is a cracking gin palace in the heart of Leicester, offering brilliant value and a lively buzz, but it does have its noisy moments and the occasional off service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of over 120 gins, each served with thoughtful garnishes to bring out the best flavours – it's a gin lover's paradise!
  • The atmosphere is buzzing and welcoming, with historical features from its old bank days adding a unique charm, making it ideal for a lively night out or watching the footy on the big screens.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit too noisy at times, which might make it hard to have a proper conversation and spoil the vibe for a relaxed catch-up.
  • Some staff members come across as a tad grumpy or disinterested, which takes the edge off an otherwise enjoyable visit.

The High Cross is a cracking Wetherspoon in Leicester – affordable, lively, and just the ticket for a no-fuss pint or meal with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got fantastic value for money with affordable drinks and meals, like those international beers at just £3.99 a pint – perfect for a budget-friendly night out.
  • The place is spacious, clean, and well-kept, with a traditional vibe that makes it feel welcoming and comfortable for a casual get-together.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get really busy and noisy, especially on evenings, which might make it hard to have a proper chat if you're after something more relaxed.
  • Some of the food, like the steak, comes across as a bit bland on its own, and you'll have to pay extra for sauces or sides to liven it up.
