Only went for one drink. It's quite a nice place.

Whilst the food was good, they got the food order wrong for all 3 of us?l! 2 chicken broths turned out to be 2 curried parsnip soup. Instead of lamb flatbread, we were given the falafel shortbread. All very nice, but not what was ordered.

Absolutely fantastic… great atmosphere, prompt service, and a varied different kind of menu The food was utterly amazing!

Good food but only 3 stars as the portions are pretty small and stingy, so don't go hungry! I remember the portions previously were adequate but it seems they're trying to reduce costs.

Have been to a few Lounges across the country and this is definitely one of my new favourites. Walked in with a group of 5 on a busy Friday morning and I mean it was busy! had to wait for a table, but the person who spoke to us was lovely. I think she may have been the manager, happy girl black hair. never got her name. Only a few minutes later and we were seated. Went to the bar and we were greeted by a lovely jubilant man with a black beard and swooped back hair, he was great fun to speak to at the bar very polite and very good to speak to, we went back up to the bar every time to order drinks and some more food as our friend joined us, just to speak to him. Food was great as ever and we even got a goodbye and a joke from the him as we were leaving. Went back again today about lunchtime, as busy as yesterday same man was there again , and he remembered us. had to wait again for a table bur again the service was excellent. would also like to highlight the lovely young lady, short lady fair hair who brought our food to us today. she was very polite and when we said that we had asked for a alteration, it was dealt with within seconds. Literally hadn't started to eat before she came back with the correct order of sweet potato fries. I work in a similar place, I know the value of reviews and honestly cant say enough about the two people at Athro !

We stopped in for a couple of pints after dinner. The bartender was nice and locals welcoming.

Lovely welcoming setting for a casual meal. The restaurant was busy and as a result the meal took longer than the 25 minutes indication when we arrived.The menu is interesting and a good vegetarian selection. The tapas when it arrived were tasty but it is worth noting that the plates are on the small side.The disappointment was that the sweet potato fries were at best luke warm.When the waitress asked us about the food as we were finishing the meal we confirmed that the food was fine save for the cold sweet potato fries.

We didn’t have food. The lady on the bar, Alice, was amazing. She went above and beyond. She was the only one on the bar on a Saturday with 2 massive rugby games on. She could have freaked out or buckled under the pressure, but she didn’t- she stayed calm and professional! She made an effort to make sure everyone was happy, even though it was tough at times as she was the only bar staff! I was impressed by her, she did the job of 3 people on her own! We were all shocked it was just her in the bar! She was brilliant all night. I hope her boss appreciates how hard she works. Don’t see bar staff like her very much anymore! If I owned a bar, I would hire her tomorrow! She’s a credit to the business!

Good place to have a drink and to watch the football. Please note the owners are Liverpool supporters so their games will take priority. Also they do good hot pork scratchings. Staff very friendly
