I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Usually bars/restaurants near event venues are overpriced and not great quality, but when we were at the SEC Armadillo for an event, we had a look at the menu here and thought it looked really good.
The ordering process is fast and simple, and the food came out reasonably quickly.
I had fish and chips and it was very tasty, and well cooked & presented.
I would definitely eat here again, and have already agreed with my wife that we’ll eat here next time we’re at an event in the area.
Visited here before a gig and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The pizzas were decent, or at least more decent than we were expecting. The servers were all really cheery and seemed happy to be at work (not often I can say this!).
The prices are very inflated because of the location, but it’s the same with anywhere in a place like this. £7 for a pint of Dark Fruits is a lot, but what else are you going to do?
Other downside is that they stopped serving drinks at 8:15, even though we were keen for another one, and it could do with some signage to indicate the entrance and bar/restaurant split if you’re a first time visitor. Also, we tried two tables and they were both wobbly.
You could do a lot worse for pre-gig dinner and drinks!
Always have a good meal here before gigs. Only issue I have, and have now been on several occasions, when we’ve ordered draught soft drinks, they have tasted very chemically. I had irn bru and my friend had lemonade. We took them back to the bar and were given more from another tap, but still tasted the same. We did not drink these either as they were exactly the same, don’t know if these are being rinsed properly after cleaning or whatever but have to order cans of juice instead, £3.70 for a pint of juice but ended up with a £2 can. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of this. I find it hard to believe that we were the only ones to have this issue? Again, never have a complaint about the food and even without a reservation we manage to get seated. :)
