94/100
El Bar de Tapas in Stevenage is a charming little spot for authentic Spanish fare, with top-notch food, a warm vibe, and friendly service that makes it a real winner for a casual night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – authentic Spanish tapas that's fresh, full of flavour, and hits the spot, with standout dishes like chorizo and cod croquettes that keep you coming back.
  • The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or a special occasion, tucked away in the heart of Stevenage.
Areas for Improvement
  • One or two dishes, like the paella, might come across as a bit plain or underwhelming compared to the rest of the menu, so it pays to choose carefully.
  • They're closed on Mondays, which could be a downer if you're planning a mid-week outing and fancy a tapas fix.

Boom Battle Bar Stevenage

Verified
4.7(453 reviews)
93/100
Boom Battle Bar in Stevenage is a cracking spot for a fun night out with mates, packed with games and a buzzing vibe, but watch out for the costs and limited food choices.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The variety of games is brilliant – from axe throwing and karaoke to augmented reality darts and shuffleboard, there's something for everyone to get stuck into and have a laugh.
  • The staff are really friendly and helpful, making you feel welcome and ensuring you have a great time, especially during activities like axe throwing.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite pricey, especially for smaller groups, with things like electronic darts costing £40 per group, which might not feel like great value compared to other spots.
  • Service at the front desk isn't always up to scratch; some folks have mentioned staff being more interested in chatting among themselves than helping out.

The Broken Seal Tap Room in Stevenage is a cracking little microbrewery that's all about top-quality craft beers and a warm, community feel – a real gem for beer enthusiasts.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on – a fantastic range of fresh, seasonal brews and even some Belgian options, perfect for anyone who loves exploring new flavours.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • The location on a busy high street means it might involve a bit of a trek or a walk along a main road, which isn't ideal if you're not up for it.
  • It doesn't open until the afternoon, around 2 PM, so it's not the best spot if you're after a morning pint or an early start to your day.

Lavish is a cracking spot in Stevenage for Mediterranean-inspired grub and a warm, welcoming vibe that'll make any meal out feel special.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • Service is spot on; the staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a bit more formal and upscale, which might not suit if you're after a laid-back, casual pint with mates.
  • Children aren't allowed after 5pm on Fridays and Saturdays, so it could be tricky for family outings on those evenings.

The Red Lion in Stevenage is a cracking little pub with a warm welcome and heaps of events, but it's not without its hiccups like variable food quality.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – shout out to folks like Sophie and Jess who really go the extra mile!

Areas for Improvement

  • There's a risk of parking fines if you're not careful with the registration, which could put a dampener on your visit.

89/100
The Poachers is a charming, traditional pub in Stevenage that's all about good vibes, great beers, and a friendly crowd – ideal for a casual catch-up, though it's a touch out of the way and skips on food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is buzzing and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed pint with mates.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, and the Guinness is top-notch according to the locals.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit of a trek from the town centre, so you might need to plan for that walk or a quick lift.
  • No food on offer, which means you'll have to pop elsewhere for a bite after your drinks.

  • There might be the odd hiccup with certain items or experiences, as one visitor mentioned an issue that wasn't quite detailed, so it's worth keeping expectations in check.

Flava Bar in Stevenage is a cracking little spot for hosting events, with friendly service and a lively setup that makes for memorable nights, though it has a few niggles like kitchen limitations.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, especially Jay, who's always on hand to help with any queries and makes everything run smoothly for events.
  • It's a fantastic spot for parties and celebrations – affordable, spacious, and packed with great features like a DJ setup, lighting, and sound systems that really get the atmosphere buzzing.
Areas for Improvement
  • The kitchen is a bit limited – you can use it, but it's not for preparing hot foods, which might be a hassle if you're planning something that needs a proper cook-up.
  • There haven't been many recent reviews, so it might not be as buzzing as it once was, which could make you wonder about the current scene.

Great old fashioned pub 🍻 Warm welcome, excellent choice of beverage. Darts, pool, billiards, juke box and more. Friendly landlord and customers. Make for an excellent atmosphere.

A Traditional pub with locals however the quality of their cask beer was very poor on our visit. We have now deleted this from our places to visit when in the Old part of Stevenage.
Clive Parcell
The pub wasn’t even that busy but the barman was quite rude, mixing up the orders, repeating himself, making it an unwelcoming and unpleasant experience..

The Coach and Horses is a welcoming pub in Stevenage with a lively vibe, great staff, and fun activities, though it has a few quirks that keep it from being flawless.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and really make you feel welcome, with their friendly smiles and top-notch service.

Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours look a bit muddled from what I've seen, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open.
  • It can get a tad laddish at times, which is great if you're up for a laugh, but might not be everyone's cup of tea if you prefer something quieter.

The Almond Tree is a welcoming local pub in Stevenage that's great for a relaxed pint, watching the footie, and having a laugh with friends, though it's a tad unassuming from the outside.
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.
  • There's a free pool table, which is a brilliant bonus for a casual night out with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The building itself isn't the most inviting; it's tucked away off the main road among garages, so it might not catch your eye at first.
  • There have been occasional issues with the pumps, which could put a dampener on things if you're after a specific drink.
