Babelas Continental Bar in Leicester

Not what it used to be like. Less food I had a two mussels that were served to me and weren't open, smaller plates for what we paid and ate and spending nearly £100 we left still hungry and ate again when we got home. We used to enjoy the place but after tonight's visit we won't be attending again which I hate to say but I will say what small bit was served did taste nice but only enough for a child unfortunately I'm afraid....

Great place with a small but good selection of cask ales. Also wine and cheese board

Been coming here for a number of years, whilst it maintains a great atmosphere one of the things I always liked was the cheese board option. Visited today and for the fourth time was advised that this was not available although it is still shown on the board.

Great vibes! Fantastic drinks selection, lovely atmosphere, tasteful decor, friendly and professional staff. What more could we want?! A wonderful little place.

Went for drinks after dinner with friends. Accoustics are dreadful. Can get really loud as nothing soft to absorb the noise. Great choice of beers served by friendly staff.

Went on a Friday when band was on. Had the cheese board on many occasions always great with a red wine or 2! Friendly atmosphere and great staff.

It's OK, I'm not all that much of a drinker though

Nice Cider. Friendly staff. Cool weird decor.

Loved my trip to Babelas the other day, that after our visit me & my wife went for a inspiring lovely walk in Swithland Woods, there we found a lovely remote spot & made mad passionate love for around 45 minutes, we also filmed ourselves while making love, a great momento to one day possibly show at the Oscars ..... maybes. We are calling our walk in the countryside : : ' bluebell's in springtime 🌱 🌼 '

Nice bar on Queens road with decent draught beer and friendly staff.

Nice quirky little bar serving some food but great range of beers

I love this place. Its like sitting in a very nice and eccentric old uncle's sitting room. Oh it needs a flick of this and that but it's charm lies in that it simply is what it is and seems very proud of it. Great beers and always friendly service. Owners don't take noisy rabble.. brilliant

This place seems better under new management.

Hands down the best bar this side of Leicester. Friendly staff, great beers and an excellent cheese board. A bar where you can sit and pass an afternoon away with a book from their ‘library’ and a bottle of wine.

Had a Landlord beer and was a very good example of how a beer should be served

Nice little bar but unfortunately extremely expensive beer !

Met up with up with friends for drinks early doors great juice Of drinks and friendly staff As always

That's the first time I've ever drank last orders at 8pm. Thanks Covid

Great bar, great drinks and cheese. Very chilled atmosphere.

Great staff and service,great venue, great product selection the private eye framed covers on the wall of the gents are a touch also.

Nice couple of pints of jhb yesterday afternoon

Sitio entrañable con unas aceitunas aliñadas riquísimas.

Lovely little place for a chat and catch up.

Nice place and good atmosphere over two floors was quite busy when we were there early Saturday evening so obviously a popular place

Friendly and busy neighbourhood bar. Good cocktails. Service can be slow at peak hours. Excellent for weekend brunch as well.

Beer is very well kept and served. Timothy Taylor Landlord is a highlight.

Great place for a quiet drink and a chat with friends

Always a great place to go for a pint. Good beer, lovely staff, chilled out atmosphere

Nice contemporary bar in Leicester, good selection of gins.

Great bar and staff. LOVE the cheese boards

Great place for cheese board and wine.

Excellent beer selection and very nice service.

Very good bar lots of choices very small and cosy 10/10

Not what I was expecting. It is a small Timothy Taylors. When I was there they had 3 or 4 ales on tap which were, apart from the one Oakham ale, fairly standard. A big plus is the range of gin. The decor was interesting too. Some European bits but it had a weird Asian mix too. I was expecting continental drinks and feel at a continental bar.

Lovely small bar with nice atmosphere. Good range of beers and wines. Great cheese board!

Lovely friendly bar, special thanks to all the wonderful staff, especially felix

Cocktails, tapas, great decor and atmosphere. Weekends it's buzzing

Nice cheeseboard, good wine, great atmosphere, and generally a nice little bar

Nice quiet pub, great to sit and natter

Very compact friendly boozer on Queens Road a Locals Local.

Watch out for the heads on the wall sculpture - when you're not looking - they move ;-) Best bar in Leicester - always a lively atmosphere.

Come from miles around ... greatest place in town .....

Best place in Leicester for a pint. Good beers, pleasant service.

Really impressed with the friendly service on a busy Friday after work. Three cheese cheeseboard for £6, which came with a generous amount of crackers and pickles (hurrah!). Limited ale selection, but alright prices for what they had :)

This is my friends local pub which we go to every time I visit. It has a great atmosphere, very welcoming and as previously mentions the cheese board is a must. If your ever in the area I would recommend giving it a try.

If you haven't done so already get yourself a cheese board with your drink. There's loads on there so it's best to share. Best wine list on Queens Rd too.
