Bars in Colchester

“Very great experience!

Had come with the football team after a Sunday league game and we we're pleasantly treated with great food and service!

Will be coming in again whenever we play at Mile End! Absolutely fantastic.”

“We came here on Saturday night celebrating our friends graduation & what a great night it was. Service at the bar was amazing, smoking area was very spacious and the jukebox was a great touch. Thank you. Will definitely be back! :)”

“Great bottom brunch Mama mia style. Our waitress Maddie was brilliant and kept us topped up with drinks all night. She was really friendly and we even got props!! Jess did a great job on the drinks too. Defo worth the money! ”

“We came in for lunch and drinks as were visiting family and Yates was recommended to us by a family member. We had a really nice meal and drinks and the bar and seating was lovely and spacious.
We were served by Rosie who I believe was the manager, she was very knowledgeable about the drinks and recommended several options which we very much enjoyed ? She then checked several times that everything was ok and was just lovely….so friendly and personable. I have experienced mediocre service before elsewhere so it was just so refreshing to be served by someone like Rosie who obviously takes pride in what she does.
Meals were fresh and hot and it was just a really good and relaxing experience. We will definitely visit again when we come to Colchester and recommend you to friends and other family. Thanks so much.”

“We love this place. We invited some friends to join us for a meal in the Alma because we knew it to be a good choice having pre booked with them on WhatsApp.
Its a lovely cozy country pub with friendly welcoming staff. There is enough choice on the menu to satisfy different tastes, reasonably priced and a good selection of beverages from the bar.
We all chose something different to eat and, apart from a few salad leaves, nothing else was left on our plates. We were all feeling a little bit to full for the puddings deciding on icecream and coffees for afters. It was all delicious.”

“We came here for my birthday recently and the service and food were both amazing. The staff are very knowledgeable, particularly about their wines. We got the chateaubriand (in photo), which was delicious and came with a good variety of sides. We will definitely be returning! Would recommend.”

“This is a little gem tucked away from all the hustle and hustle of the town centre. We had a table for two before a gig around the corner. The food and drink were top notch, the service struck the right balance, being attentive without being intrusive. Overall a delightful experience. We'll be back.”

“Great for watching football and the chicken wings are ??
