We want to come back JUST because of the service. Drinks: there are plenty of options for cocktails and everything is made in house, so you're not getting cheap mixers. We both ordered the naked and famous and we loved the flavors. Ambiance: what a cool scene! The entrance is slightly hidden, so hopefully my video will show you how to get in. Once you get in, you're surrounded by lights, flowers, and tons of pillows. Very comfy and fantastic music. I highly recommend!

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.

They have great food, we've also had some Sunday lunches there which were great, and I particularly enjoyed their deserts. Their level of service is quite good to, we didn't wait too long to be served, or for the food and they are always friendly. Their prices are competitive; they have happy hour and specific nights with food specials. They accept credit cards which are always a plus and I also like the fact that there are bus stops so near by. The dance floor downstairs is quite good too, it doesn't feel like you were just in a pub, it has a good atmosphere; they play great music and have their own separate bar. No entry fee is obviously a bonus, if you're looking for a cheap night out dancing. I was really surprised at the size, I mean obviously with the two separate floors upstairs and down, but each floor I mean, it's quite a spacious place, so that even on a busy night you won't easily feel over crowded.

I liked the tartar sauce that accompanied the dish. I'm just dinging another star because the food took FOREVER to come. I really thought they were killing the lamb for how long it took. The barman apologised though so my heart softened a little.

Croydon centre can be a bit of desert as far as pubs are concerned, with rather too many loud and…read moreladdish bars. The Spread Eagle is an exception: it's a decent boozer, centrally placed along the High Street. It has the full range of Fuller's real ales, with a reasonable range of sandwiches and other typical pub grub. Staff are friendly though could be a tad more efficient. Formerly a bank, the 1890's exterior is a dignified example of 'banker's classical' architecture, and the inside is spacious with wood panelling, high ceilings and an imposing staircase leading to an upstairs function-room. As you'd expect for a town centre pub, it has a wide range of clientele, though is reasonably quiet most lunchtimes. It has sports TV and is probably best avoided during big footie matches, but otherwise is a dependable venue. The ground floor is fully wheel-chair accessible.

They have clearly invested in several new TV sets and are proud to let you know they are showing the latest football matches and many other sports live. They have a new menu, I can't comment on the food as we did not try any but it looks to be the usual, burgers, chips sandwiches and the like. They have a mixture of high seating areas and your comfortable sofa seating areas. They stock a full bar of sprits and unlike a lot of pubs did not seem to have many craft beers, if any, on offer. I know this maybe an issue for some people but they do have Guiness, John smiths, Estralla and some other well known brands. Service was a little slow, it was still early Friday afternoon and only member of staff behind the bar. Another one did appear before we left so I hope that the service got quicker with the addition of other staff. On top of the new food menu, on Friday & Saturday, they sell Jerk Chicken and pork, which I am reliably informed is very good, so I will definitely go back to try some!! They have a happy hour 7pm until close on Saturday & Sunday, only spirits included though.

A very standard British pub in many ways. It is not normally a place I would visit but since I was…read moregoing to a football game close by it was one of the few options around. The beer selection was standard for a British pub (so poor comparing to most other places) but prices were affordable. The service was also fast and friendly. They also had a sign stating 'Food now served' so I dared to ask about it (still having nightmares of the pub food I had when going to a football game in Watford) and the food was being barbecued in the outdoor garden area. Very simple food, either pork or chicken served with bread and coleslaw. I would not call it a great meal but far better than some other pubs I have been to. The place was also reasonably clean so a pretty decent option for anyone looking for a place before heading to watch Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
