I like the different food choices and everything is usually a good portion. The only con is that you need to be careful when ordering with the app, as sometimes a double drink becomes a single. It's best to order at the counter when you can. Toilets are clean. Booking it's easy both on the website and the phone and the staff always ask me if I prefer to book a table outside or inside and give suggestions based on the weather

We had booked a private area for a 30th brithday party. Friends who were on the list had trouble getting in. A couple of friends weren't allowed re-entry because they went for a smoke. Their rules regarding smoking are ridculous where you aren't allowed to take a coat with you to their designated smoking area. The reason given was in case someone tripped over the coat. When my friends decided that they would go upstairs and outside the club for a smoke they weren't allowed back in, reason given was because they had disregarded the rules. All in all not worth going to!

Ok new bar in town so it would be rude not to try it out. This place until recently was another…read morebar. In its new incarnation it has transformed into a clean and bright cocktail bar. This is the first cocktail bar in the area and hopefully it will be here for a long time. Now do not get me wrong I do like this place but there are a few things that it will need to improve on. The variety of cocktails on offer is ok. They can make some on demand but not every cocktail you may ask for. I guess that there are more cocktails in the world that I know of so I cannot argue with that, however I do think the menu they have needs a few more additions. The staff are all very helpful and accommodating I especially like the fact that when someone who clearly had had a few too many somewhere else got a little to loud they were quick to quieten him down and then he left quickly after that. The music level is ok so you can have a conversation without competing with the music. The price of the cocktails is cheaper than city prices but still pricy for the area. Some little nibbles on offer might be another good improvement. As it is early days I'm sure they will figure this out.

Cocktail Embassy has not been open long and, having spied this establishment a short while ago and…read morethinking this was a little different for Crystal Palace we made the effort to drop by for pre-dinner drinks. Tastefully decorated and a place where you would want to sit and drink (not propping up the bar), the waiting staff were friendly and seemed to be enjoying themselves also. They accommodated making a cocktail which was not on the menu. Although they have a menu of cocktails, there are not many on there and, if you label yourself 'cocktail', I'd expect to have a wide variety of cocktails to select from. I think this could be improved. They also have a downstairs area which we were informed is intended to be for live DJ nights on the weekend. That area is more spacious in the middle with a bar down there also. The night we were in there, it was not overly busy (which I like!). There was one noisy customer who clearly had too much to drink however, he was promptly told to keep it down otherwise leave. Good sign of the calibre they wish to keep so hopefully they keep this up. I think the music, could be a little lower upstairs leaving this area where you come to sit and chat and downstairs a little more vibrant. With the music high, you have to raise your voice making it all a little noisy for a cocktail lounge. I hope they do well here as it is something different to what is available in CP currently. I will visit again and see how they progress.

Walk in from the front door and you're virtually falling over the bar and into the barmaid's arms, which last night I would've been quite happy to; a beautiful smile and very friendly! I remember this being the first place I tried Guiness Red, on a Monday quiz night, which is still a regular part of the schedule. The snooker was on the moderate sized plasma last night, but I don't think they have sky. Kids are allowed in till 6 and there is a good sized terraced beer garden and parking. Nothing too spectacular or spectacularly bad about this place, I'd rather go here than some of the characterless chain pubs towards the bottom end of the high street. Not a bad selection of beers either.

That said, it's a very nice spot to meet up at; a nice clean and polished horseshoe bar, a beautiful rear beer garden and the benches out the front are set a fair distance back from the road. Though I'm sure it's not unique, this is the only pub I know of that has a dedicated poker table, though from previous online/offline experiences, carling 'n' cards has rarely taken me all the way to Vegas (baby). Good to see Maker's Mark in stock, Guiness was not the greatest I've had, but how could I grumble when I was being served by most gorgeous and smiley (spanish) barmaid in town. I do like this pub - it has a couple of local offies and the Jolly Woodman nearby too. Oh, and thin based pizza munch is served from 6-9.
