Slow service. Gave the wrong drink then argued about it. Grotty toilets. Overpriced. Full of weirdos. Zero atmosphere.

The best place to chill out for some sporting activities in Leicester. What with Hailey, serving you cold ones? The best

A fantastic place to meet a group of friends. It doesn't matter if you want to eat, sit, have a drink or dance. Perfect place. Only slightly weak drinks, you practically don't feel that there is alcohol in them.

Bouncers think they have way too much power and threw a friend out because the walked through an open door. Avoid.

The two bouncers were awful on the door yesterday. Wouldn’t let myself and friend into walkabout because we didn’t have a physical ID, although we both had electronic IDs and are both clearly over 25, I’m 33. They were very rude and aggressive and wouldn’t listen to us. Then they proceeded to let other people in without checking their ID. Our friends who were waiting for us came out to ask why we weren’t being let in and they continued to be rude and aggressive to them as well.

Venue is large and has ample screens but let down by the food and management . Ordered a Njuda Nachos so was expecting it to be meaty but received what I thought was regular nachos with salsa. Showed this to the waiter who couldn’t see any Sausage in it. The manager eventually came out stating it is mixed through the sauce but can’t be seen. There was hardly any sauce meaning that less than a bite of a small sausage might have been present. I was refunded 2/3rds of the cost . They brought out cash and I didn’t count it initially but when I did it was short a £2. I didn’t challenge this, having realised they just don’t have much of a clue here and that I’d rather watch the sport I was there for than kick up any more if a fuss. Bottom line - just remove that dish from the menu if that is the actual dish. And when you say sorry and refund a customer - just refund the whole dish why skimp on the last £2? There was plenty of attitude also so these guys just don’t really care. Shame because potential is there with size of the venue and screens everywhere. Perfect for drink and watching sport only just leave the food alone .

Popped in for some food and a few drinks. The mass numbers of students made it cool with their bar crawl. Lovely staff will definitely return.
Absolutely love this place. Let's start with the guys on the door, they do their job efficiently, they're always sociable and have a laugh with the customers but are very, very professional when it comes to their duties and take their job seriously with absolutelyno nonsense tolerated. They're always really friendly and welcoming and will chat with anybody but above all they keep the vibe enjoyable and safe for the rest of us. Security staff indoors, the same as above but one particular security officer gets a special mention for his moves on the dance floor, he does his job, he stays vigilant and its quite smart actually because nobody expects to be being surveilled by a dancing bouncer... It's much more relaxed than say someone who stands rigidly watching people like a hawk which can feel a little uncomfortable... and man can he move!! We love seeing him and he just elevates the whole Walkabout experience.The Bar Staff- can't rate them enough, they're always running around like headless chickens, always so friendly and polite and again, efficient... and always do so with a smile, which I can't imagine isn't easy when trying to take orders from intoxicated people. Always relatively prompt when clearing glasses around the dancefloor. Just awesome people all-round tbh. I've never been served by anybody being rude. I can't remember her name but there is one lady who seems to be a manager or something but she's always there at weekends and seems to be running the show, she is doing a brilliant job and she's always so nice even when she's run off her feet. You never have to wait toooooo long to get served but you know, on a Saturday night when it's crammed full of people, expect to wait cos they're not miracle workers as hard as they try.DJ- I seem to think they've had a different DJ recently the one I was used to a while back we thought he was great, it was always a vibe, tunes were generally always banging and gave a very enjoyable evening. The DJ we've experienced the last couple of times if I'm right is also great and for the most part also plays some bangers.... but knock it on the head with all the Taylor Swift mate, I know there are alot of students swarming the place lately but think about us veterans who can just about handle one TS song never mind 4. Other than that... smashing it. Still a vibe, still making Walkabout our go to watering hole and we just love to dance the whole night away til the very, last tune and we couldn't do that without some awesome music!! We just love coming to Walkabout and everything just works so well. It's the people that keep the ship running that make it all worthwhile so, Thank you!!(And give the Dancing SO a raise for entertainment purposes ?)

Food was prepared pretty quickly and was of a good quality. Beer on tap was as expected. Interior is really well decorated. Great venue for many different

WANT TO VISIT A LEICESTER BAR IN 1977? HERE YOU GO. Toxic in all aspects! As a conservative man, I take the blame for not inviting the authorties to have a look at this place long time ago! Not safe at all!

Popped in to watch F1, great place. The various sports fixtures were shown in different rooms which was handy so there wasn't much noise from the football boys :) Food was prompt and what you'd expect. The staff were really accommodating when we asked to turn up the volume. No issues

I had an incredible time at Walkabout in Leicester! The lively atmosphere and friendly staff immediately set the tone for a memorable night out. The variety of drinks and cocktails they offer is impressive, catering to a wide range of preferences.The highlight of the evening was the entertainment. The live music and DJ created an energetic vibe that kept everyone dancing and having a great time. The venue's layout and design allowed for a comfortable and enjoyable experience, whether you're catching up with friends or meeting new people.I must also commend the staff for their attentiveness and prompt service. They made sure everyone had a fantastic time, and their dedication truly stood out.Walkabout Leicester is undeniably a go-to spot for a fun night out in the city. I'll be looking forward to my next visit and the guaranteed good times that come with it!My suggestion: 1. Reduce food and drink price2. Include fish/ veg options3. Pool table improvements4. Offer bluelight card discount
