Zinc Rugby

Zinc Rugby

Verified
4.8(467 reviews)
95/100
Zinc Rugby is a lively late-night gem in Rugby, where the friendly staff and cracking atmosphere make for unforgettable nights.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and make you feel right at home with their warm smiles and welcoming vibes.
  • The atmosphere is buzzing with fantastic music from the DJs, perfect for getting lost on the dance floor.
  • It's kept spotlessly clean, right down to the toilets, which is a real treat for a late-night spot.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, making it a great value for a fun night out without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open a couple of evenings a week, which can be a bit limiting if you're not up for late-night plans.
  • With hours kicking off around 11 PM, it's more suited to a proper night out rather than a relaxed evening unwind.

La Casa Loco is a cracking Mexican spot in Rugby, serving up delicious, authentic grub with a lively vibe that's ideal for a relaxed get-together with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think bold, authentic Mexican flavours that really hit the spot, with generous portions and options like tasty tacos and enchiladas that leave you wanting more.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a good night out; it's vibrant and fun, perfect for catching up with mates or celebrating with the family, especially with those happy hour deals and bottomless brunches.

  • It's clean and well-kept, right down to the details like the toilets, and they've got a great bar area with cocktails that add to the whole experience.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open five days a week, so you'll have to plan around closures, which might put a damper on spontaneous visits.
  • It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends, so you might face a wait for a table or service that's a bit slower than you'd hope.

La Dolce Tavola is a charming Italian restaurant in Rugby that's earning high praise for its tasty, authentic dishes and friendly service, though it's not without a few quirks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely authentic and delicious, with generous portions that leave you feeling well satisfied after a meal.
  • Service is spot on – they're incredibly attentive and quick to help, like sorting cushions for those with disabilities without a fuss.

Areas for Improvement
  • There might be a sting with booking policies, like getting charged for a no-show even if the place is empty, which could leave a sour note.
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any disappointment if you're planning a visit.
  • While most feedback is glowing, it's not perfect, and you might find the occasional hiccup that doesn't quite live up to the hype.

On the Rocks

94/100
On the Rocks in Rugby offers a cracking unique dining experience with lava stone cooking, where you get to tailor your meal, but watch out for the occasional smoky atmosphere and higher costs.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The unique lava stone cooking lets you cook your meat, fish, and veggies just how you like them, making every meal feel personal and fun.
  • They use fresh, locally sourced ingredients, which really shines through in the quality of the food – think tender steaks and delicious sides like triple-cooked chips.
  • It's a family-run spot in a charming Victorian building, giving it that cosy, independent vibe that's perfect for special occasions or a night out.
  • The service is spot on; staff are attentive and happy to explain the menu, making newcomers feel right at home.
  • With a solid 4.7 rating, it's clear folks are raving about the experience, especially for birthdays or treating loved ones.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit smoky from the stone cooking, which might make things uncomfortable if the windows aren't opened up.
  • Some dishes, like steaks, have been reported as not quite warm enough or lacking in seasoning, which is a shame for such fresh ingredients.
  • The prices add up quickly – you're looking at around £120 for two courses and a bottle of wine for two, so it might not be the most budget-friendly option.
  • The space feels a tad small, which could make it feel cramped on busier evenings.

The Seven Stars is a charming traditional pub in Rugby, ideal for real ale lovers and rugby enthusiasts, with a welcoming atmosphere and some cracking events.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The real ales are absolutely spot on – they've got a fantastic selection, all well-kept, and it's clear they're passionate about them, making it a must-visit for any ale enthusiast.
  • The rugby theme is brilliant; the pub's decked out with loads of memorabilia, which really brings the spirit of the game to life, especially if you're a fan.
  • Homemade snacks like those Scotch eggs and sausage rolls are a real treat – they're tasty and add a lovely personal touch to the experience.
  • It's got a warm, community vibe with friendly staff and events like quizzes and festivals that make it feel lively and welcoming.
  • The courtyard garden is a hidden gem, perfect for a quiet drink outside, and it's dog-friendly too, which is great if you're out with your furry friend.
Areas for Improvement
  • The back bar is TV-free, so if you're hoping to catch a match, you might find it a bit too quiet for that.
  • Children are only welcome until 7:30pm, which means it might not suit families looking for a later evening out.
  • As a traditional pub, it could feel a tad old-school for those after something more modern or trendy.

Rugby Tap is a lovely little micro pub in the heart of Rugby, serving up cracking local beers and a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes it a real gem for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of locally produced craft beers, real ales, ciders, and even some top-notch alcohol-free options that change regularly – perfect for trying something new each visit.
  • It's a cosy, intimate spot with a community feel, ideal for a quiet chat or a bustling evening out, and it's dog-friendly too, which is always a bonus if you're out with your furry mate.
  • Prices are really reasonable for what you get, so you won't break the bank enjoying a pint or two.
  • Being in the town centre and near transport links makes it super convenient to pop in after work or while exploring Rugby.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection, while great overall, might not always have many surprises for seasoned ale enthusiasts who've tried a lot already, so it could feel a bit familiar at times.
  • It's a small space, which means it can get quite busy and bustling on popular nights, making it tricky to find a seat if you're after a more relaxed vibe.
  • The opening hours seem to vary a bit, which might catch you out if you're planning a visit – double-check before you go to avoid disappointment.

Café Vin Cinq in Rugby is a charming fine dining gem with a French twist, boasting brilliant food and a welcoming vibe, though it's not perfect with the odd service hiccup here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh, seasonal ingredients that make every meal feel like a treat – think tasty steaks and mouth-watering desserts that really hit the spot.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, set in a historic building with elegant decor and chandeliers; it's perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed catch-up with friends.
  • Service is top-notch, with staff who are attentive, friendly, and know their stuff, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

  • It's a multi-award winner with a solid 4.6 rating from plenty of happy visitors, making it a reliable choice for special occasions or just a lovely night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few slip-ups with food preparation, like steaks not cooked to preference or disappointing sides, which can really let down an otherwise great meal.
  • It's only open in the evenings from around 5:30 PM, so if you're after a spot for a quick lunch or daytime pint, you'll have to look elsewhere.
  • Prices are on the moderate side for a fine dining spot, which might feel a bit steep if you're just popping in for a casual drink rather than a full meal.
  • With the business not claimed by the owners, things like updates or improvements might not happen as quickly as you'd hope, based on what we've seen.

  • They've got a cracking atmosphere with live music, folk nights, and games evenings that make for a proper fun night out, full of energy and good vibes.

  • With a solid 4.7 rating from plenty of happy folks, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a memorable experience.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled and inconsistent, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open.
  • No recent buzz from reviews in the last few months, so it might be worth checking in advance to see if things are still as lively as they used to be.
  • It's walk-ins only for food, with last orders early at 8:30 PM, which could be a hassle if you're planning a late-night bite.
  • Details like pricing and contact info are a bit thin on the ground, making it trickier to plan your visit without a quick scout online.
  • The website mentions the business is currently 'close', which might mean it's temporarily shut, so double-check before heading out.

Caldecott Park is a charming spot in Rugby, full of beautiful flowers, family-friendly activities, and a cosy cafe – it's a real favourite for a relaxing day out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The park is an absolute gem with stunning floral displays that make you feel like you're in a botanical wonderland – it's won awards for a reason!
  • It's got a great mix of facilities, like a play area for the kids, tennis courts, and a bandstand, perfect for a family day out or a casual stroll.

  • There's a lovely cafe on site serving refreshments, which is ideal for a quick cuppa and a bite after wandering around.
  • It's right in the heart of Rugby town centre, making it super convenient, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming.
Areas for Improvement
  • The play area seems a bit worn out and could do with a freshen-up, as it's starting to look tired after all the years of fun.
  • Dogs have to be on leads, which might cramp the style for those wanting a more relaxed walk with their furry friends.
  • With opening hours from 7am to 9pm, it might not suit late-night visitors, though that's probably for the best in a park setting.

Areas for Improvement

  • Occasional slip-ups with dishes, like one person finding the sauce on their Eggs Royale a bit overpowering
  • No website or online presence means it's trickier to check menus or book ahead, which can be a minor hassle

  • The food hits the mark, especially those scrumptious scotch eggs – they're a real treat and add a lovely touch to the experience.
  • It's a community gem with a strong sense of heritage, ideal for enjoying live events, quizzes, or just settling in for a chat and a drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might come across as a bit old-school for those after a more modern or trendy spot, as the traditional feel could feel dated to some.
  • The food options seem limited to pub classics, so if you're hoping for a wider menu or something more adventurous, you might be left wanting.
  • Given its location in Rugby, it could be a trek if you're not nearby, and it might get quite busy during popular events, making it hard to find a seat.

Chicco Di Caffe in Rugby is a charming cafe with top-notch Italian-inspired grub and a warm, inviting vibe, though you might need to factor in the occasional wait for your meal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with standout Italian dishes and hearty portions that leave you feeling satisfied.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and professional, always making you feel welcome and looked after.
  • It's got a gorgeous atmosphere and decor, perfect for a relaxed breakfast, lunch, or even a casual evening out.
  • They offer great takeaway options, which is handy if you're in a rush or prefer to enjoy it at home.
  • The owner is really responsive and goes the extra mile to sort out any issues, which makes for a positive experience overall.
Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can be a bit lengthy, like over 30 minutes in some cases, which might disrupt your plans.
  • Some dishes might not hit the mark every time, such as meals being too dry or overly saucy, leading to mixed results.
  • The menu has loads on offer, but it can feel overwhelming, and not everything lives up to expectations.
  • Opening hours vary a tad by day, so it's worth double-checking if you're planning a visit on a Sunday.
  • While it's generally spot on, there might be the odd inconsistency in food quality that could disappoint.

Libertine Burger in Rugby is a cracking spot for top-notch burgers and friendly service, though it's a touch pricey and can get a bit hectic at times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The burgers are absolutely spot-on – award-winning and packed with flavour, like that signature beef patty with bacon and cheese, or the buttermilk fried chicken options; they're proper treats.
  • The staff are brilliant, always helpful and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a great variety, including vegan choices and tasty sides like truffle and Parmesan tots, plus fun extras like DIY burger kits for at-home feasts.
  • The atmosphere is lovely, with a welcoming vibe that's perfect for a casual meal or even events with their food truck hire.
  • It's got a solid selection of canned beers and shakes to wash it all down, adding to the overall experience.
Areas for Improvement
  • The prices are on the higher side, so it might sting the wallet a bit if you're after something more budget-friendly.
  • The fries can be a mixed bag; some folks find them just okay compared to other places, like preferring Five Guys' version.
  • It can get busy, which means you might have to wait a little longer to order or deal with the odd mix-up, though the team sorts it out quickly.
  • Not everyone might appreciate the limited hours, as it's only open five days a week, so planning ahead is key.

Café Coco in Rugby is a lovely little spot for hearty breakfasts and lunches, with top-notch service and a welcoming vibe, though it's not flawless across every menu item.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The breakfasts are absolutely spot on – plenty of options like full English or veggie versions, and they're happy to tweak things to your liking, which is a real treat.
  • Friendly and welcoming staff who make you feel right at home, with quick service and a smile that brightens up the day.

  • A clean and cosy atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates, buzzing with locals enjoying their meals.
Areas for Improvement
  • One dish, like the spaghetti bolognese, got a right bashing in a review – it sounded pretty off-putting, so you might want to steer clear if you're after something foolproof.
  • The menu's got a good mix, but it seems some items could be hit or miss, so it's worth sticking to the crowd-pleasers to avoid any disappointments.

  • They've got some cracking deals like Tapas Tuesdays and cocktail offers, which help keep things affordable and fun for a midweek treat.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices are a bit on the higher side for what you get, so it might not be the best pick if you're watching your pennies.
  • It can get quite busy at peak times, which means you might end up waiting around for a table and missing out on that instant seat.
  • Some of the seating, like the sofas, feels a tad too soft and could do with being a bit firmer for proper comfort during a longer visit.

The Courthouse in Rugby is a gem of a pub that serves up fantastic food with global flavours, paired with friendly service and a solid drink selection, though it has a few quirks like pricey ales and lively music.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant, with a global twist that makes every meal an adventure – think British classics mixed with Asian and Mediterranean delights, all prepared fresh in-house.
  • The staff are top-notch; they're incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from expertly crafted cocktails and a diverse wine list to quality beers and ales that pair perfectly with the menu.

  • The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant, perfect for enjoying good times in the heart of Rugby, and they've got events that add to the fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some drinks, like the cask ales, can feel a bit pricey, which might not suit everyone looking for a budget-friendly pint.
  • On busier days, the music can be turned up a tad too loud, making it harder to have a proper chat rather than just soaking in the vibe.
  • The pub's layout seems more geared towards dining than a traditional pub feel, so if you're after a quiet spot for just a drink, it might not hit the mark.

The Victoria Inn in Rugby is a gem of a traditional pub, boasting a fantastic range of real ales and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed pint with friends or your dog in tow.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of real ales is absolutely brilliant – with 14 hand pumps, it's a real treat for any ale enthusiast, and they've got some cracking brews on offer.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, just like chatting with old mates.
  • It's super dog-friendly, which is perfect if you're out with your furry companion; plenty of reviewers mentioned their pups having a great time.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a traditional British pub, with original features, a cosy snug with a real fire, and even outdoor beer festivals in the summer.
  • They show live sport on big screens, so it's a top spot for catching the game with a pint in hand.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can seem a bit confusing, especially on Sundays with varying times listed, which might catch you out if you're planning a visit.
  • Food options are pretty limited, mostly just fresh rolls and pork pies, so if you're after a full meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
  • It has that classic old-school vibe, which is charming but could feel a tad outdated if you're in the mood for something more modern or trendy.

  • Service is fairly quick, so you won't be left twiddling your thumbs waiting for your grub.
Areas for Improvement
  • Operating hours are a bit limited, typically wrapping up by early afternoon, so it's not ideal if you're after an evening spot.
  • With no website or online presence beyond Google, it can be tricky to check the latest details or menu before heading over.
  • The schedule seems a tad inconsistent from what's listed, and it's only open six days a week, which might not suit everyone's plans.

Areas for Improvement

The Bank in Rugby is a cracking little pub with warm vibes, delicious grub, and top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, helpful, and full of smiles, like Craig with his fantastic cocktails.
  • The food and drinks are spot on; think tasty options like steak ciabattas, Mexican burgers, and fresh hot wings that offer great value for money.
  • It's a welcoming spot for everyone, including your furry friends, making it a proper dog-friendly haven.
  • The atmosphere is lively, especially on matchdays, with superb service that keeps things flowing smoothly.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be a bit of disappointment around tipping policies, as one person mentioned it didn't quite hit the mark.
  • It's a shame there's no clear info on operating hours, which could leave you guessing when to pop in.

The Aviary Bar is a real hidden gem in Rugby, perched above Café Vin Cinq, where you can enjoy cracking cocktails and a warm vibe, though you'll need to catch it on one of its limited open nights.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely top-notch, with classics and innovative specials that have everyone raving – think the best espresso martini you've ever tried!
  • They've got inclusive options for all tastes, like zero-alcohol, gluten-free, and vegan choices, making it a welcoming spot for anyone
  • The venue's gorgeous decor and cosy atmosphere really set the mood, perfect for a relaxed evening or special occasion
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel like a regular from the first visit
  • They offer fun cocktail masterclasses and events, which are brilliant for celebrations or a unique night out
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open a few evenings a week, like Thursday to Saturday nights, which means you have to plan around that
  • With just a handful of reviews so far, it might not be on everyone's radar yet, though the buzz is building
  • Things like the cocktail workshops can be a bit pricey at £85 per head, so it might not suit if you're watching the pennies

The Town & County Club is a charming little social spot in Rugby, perfect for ale enthusiasts and those after a laid-back, friendly vibe with good value drinks and community events.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a cosy, welcoming spot where you can relax and chat with friendly folks.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of real ales and guest beers, like Wye Valley Bitter and Church End Gravedigger, always well-kept and at great prices.
  • It's visitor-friendly, even if it's a members' club, so you can pop in without committing straight away, and there's a real community feel with live music and games like dominoes and skittles.
  • The bar staff are top-notch, making everyone feel right at home with their warm welcomes and efficient service.
Areas for Improvement
  • The hours can be a bit patchy and confusing, with most listings for Sundays only, which might mean it's not as reliable for mid-week visits.
  • It seems like things have quietened down lately, with only one recent review in the last six months, so it might not be as buzzing as it once was.
  • As a smaller club, it could feel a tad outdated or limited in options compared to bigger pubs, and you might need to join after a few goes, which is only £5 a year but still an extra step.
  • One or two reviews suggest it's just 'okay' rather than outstanding, so it might not wow everyone straight off.

Brews & Bites Bistro in Rugby is a charming little spot with fantastic food and a welcoming vibe, though its early closing times might cramp your plans for a proper night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think fresh, homemade dishes like vegetable samosas, Cajun chicken burgers, and delicious wraps that blend traditional favourites with a bit of innovation.
  • It's got a really cosy and stylish atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, perfect for a relaxed catch-up over breakfast or lunch.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and top-notch service that leaves you feeling looked after.
  • Prices are reasonable, so you can enjoy a great meal without breaking the bank, which is always a win for a casual outing.
Areas for Improvement
  • The hours are quite limited, only open from 7am to 2pm every day, so it's not ideal if you're after an evening pint or a late bite.
  • There's no website or online presence mentioned, which makes it a bit tricky to check the menu or details in advance – you'd have to pop in or search elsewhere.
  • Based on the current status, it seems like it might be closed at the moment, which could disappoint if you're planning a visit soon without double-checking.

Bull Rugby is a lively community pub in Rugby that's spot on for sports enthusiasts and casual get-togethers over a pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially when there's live sports on – it's a top spot for catching the big games with mates.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, ciders, wines, and spirits, all at really affordable prices, making it easy on the wallet.
  • The staff are friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat, which adds to that community feel.
  • It's in a handy location right in the heart of Rugby, just a stone's throw from the town centre, so it's perfect for a quick stop.
  • Dog-friendly with outdoor seating and a smoking area, plus things like live music and a dartboard for a bit of extra fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's not the place for families since children aren't allowed, which might put off those wanting a more inclusive outing.
  • It can get quite lively and noisy, especially during matches, so if you're after a peaceful, quiet pint, it might not hit the mark.

  • The staff are really friendly and go the extra mile, like Jason who sorted out our booking and had breakfast ready in a flash.

  • The food is generally tasty and comes out quickly, with options like a cracking Sunday dinner that's full of flavour.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff might come across as a bit professional but not overly warm, which can make the vibe feel a tad reserved.
  • There can be the odd food slip-up, like not enough garlic in the mash or vegetables that are a bit rubbery, so it's not always spot on.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is welcoming and buzzing, making it a great spot for a casual get-together or even a quick stop during travels.
  • Staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile, which really adds to the relaxed vibe.
  • It's spacious, clean, and bright, with plenty of room for families or groups, plus a handy car park and outdoor area for when the weather's nice.
  • Food options are affordable and offer a nice mix of classic dishes, perfect if you're after good value without breaking the bank.
  • Opens early and stays late, so it's reliable for a pint or a meal at any time of the day.
Areas for Improvement
  • The room can get quite cold, which might leave you reaching for your coat even on a meal out.
  • It can be pretty loud at times, mixing families and adults, so it's not always the quietest spot for a chat.
  • Food quality varies – sometimes it's not quite what you ordered, like coffees going cold fast or dishes not matching the description.
  • Service is okay and relatively quick for clearing up, but it doesn't go above and beyond, so expectations should be kept realistic.
  • A few reviews mentioned basic issues with food prep, like a disappointing burger, showing it's not always hitting the mark.

The Horseshoes is a welcoming bar with a decent 4.0 rating, but it's got some mixed vibes on the food and atmosphere that could make or break your visit.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a solid overall rating of 4.0, which suggests a few folks have had a really enjoyable time there.
  • Two out of the three reviews are full five stars, so if you're lucky, you might find it just as brilliant as they did.
  • As part of The Rugby Hotel, it could offer a cosy spot for a drink, perhaps with that classic pub vibe we're all after.
Areas for Improvement
  • One review pointed out that the food was just average, which might disappoint if you're hoping for a proper meal.
  • That same feedback mentioned a lack of atmosphere, making it feel a bit flat on a quiet night.
  • With only three reviews in total and none in the last six months, it seems like it might not be buzzing with activity right now.
  • The website's inaccessible, which makes it tricky to get more details before popping in.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make your visit enjoyable.

  • The bar serves up some quality ales, perfect for settling in with a pint and a chat after a long day.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some rooms can have a bit of a musty smell, like you're in a stable rather than a cosy spot, which puts a damper on things.
  • There's no air conditioning, which can make nights uncomfortably warm, especially in the summer months.
  • A few maintenance issues crop up, such as cracked windows or a telly that doesn't work properly, making it feel a tad outdated.
  • Noise from outside can keep you up late, and the lack of a lift means lugging bags up narrow stairs isn't much fun.
