Do not visit here if you are LGBTQ+. This past weekend it was Warwickshire Pride. We went in for a drink and openly heard staff using homophobic slurs, as well as mentioning that “it’s wrong”. This is ironic from a place that has profited off drag brunches and events that promote pride, and it seems the company enjoys just being in it for the money. This is the same company who continually deface Leamington with posters for their “events” leaving stickers and residues over beautiful architecture. Never again.

Two of our trustees met for lunch today and decided to go to Bedford Street Bar in Leamington. While deciding what to order, they heard a conversation between the barman and a customer about yesterday's Pride. Some of the quotes overheard include: "LGBTQ1234+" "Sexual predators" "Bunch of freaks" "Kenny Everett drag queens" "Camping down the Parade" - Warwickshire Pride

AWFUL customer service. My friends and I are 20 and 21, celebrating one of our friends 20th birthday and the tall bald Barman looked at us in utter disgust. He asked for our IDs (which is fair because we do look young) but he was incredibly rude. He didn’t stop talking about how young we looked and about how long he’d take to do our drinks because how busy he was (there was one other customer). This experience has made me never want to go back here. He was arrogant and rude and made us not enjoy it all. Would not recommend.

Had heard a lot of good things about this place, there was a really big outside space, if you was here to watch the football and it's packed guessing it would be brilliant. Didn't eat here so can't give any feedback on that, but for drinks it's aimed from what could tell cocktails and mundane lager's no ales or much of a beer choice.

My partner and I had a couple of drinks and she went to the bar ordered and paid for 2 more. The bar tender who apparently was the owners son? Servd my partner. He asked whis next, having been served she indicated the chap next door and said "this guy is next, I jumped the queue by accident " To this the barman who'd clearly had too many blue smarties or Coke for pudding, gave her a mouthful of foul abuse. Meanwhile I returned from the toilet and she returned from the bar and handed me my drink. We were quietly drinking, she informed me what had happened and I looked across at the barman who engaged me immediately from 15 feet away with "yes it was me, what of it?" Wow, I'm 50, on drink number three, never spoken to this person who is so insecure and power crazed that the bouncers asked us to leave. We did, confused and with good grace, onlookers were confused too. Nice customer interface. The moral is overwatch by daddy is required over an out of control son who can't deal with his own poor manners and entitlement to treat people poorly, a bully who was bullied and still probably is, sad. Good news is I'll spend my money at a cleaner, nicer establishment, meanwhile bar bully will still be serving drinks. Good luck.

I visited this venue on a Saturday evening and went to the bar to order drinks. I requested two double gins with lemonade, and a pint of Brixton larger. The barmaid gestured across the bar to the card machine, which was difficult to reach as the venue was quite busy. I immediately got a notification on my phone showing I was charged £35.30. I asked how much this should have cost me, and I was told it was £12 for a double gin and mixer and £6 for a pint of Brixton larger. I said that doesn't add up to what I was charged. The barmaid muttered "get lost" and proceeded to serve the next customer and ignored my attempts to refute the transaction. This venue will take advantage of the crowds and noise to commit fraud in front of your very eyes. Avoid at all costs.

This is a place my wife, friends, and I frequently visit on weekends to enjoy drinks, dancing, and the night. Usually, it's quite enjoyable, but yesterday was a disaster. I was abruptly escorted out by a bodyguard while enjoying time with my friends. The reason? The bodyguard mistakenly thought I was vaping indoors, although everyone else was doing so, and I don’t smoke at all. I was sober and would have willingly left if asked. Instead, the bodyguard forcibly removed me from behind, resembling a criminal, in front of my wife and friends. It was a deeply humiliating moment. The security outside documented the incident, and I believe they have the name of the bodyguard involved. I hope the management takes appropriate action upon seeing this.

So, this spot is usually where my husband, our buddies, and I hit up for weekend vibes. But our last outing was a total mess. My husband got the boot by some bodyguards while we were all just chilling. And get this: they thought he was vaping inside, but he's never even touched the stuff. Sober as a judge, too. Would've bounced if they just asked, but nope, they yanked him out like he was some kind of criminal, right in front of all of us. Super embarrassing. Luckily, the guys outside saw what went down, and I bet they know who's behind it. Hope the management steps up and sorts this out, 'cause that was just not cool.

Owner is a nutjob! I was casually sipping my Tesco's wine near the door (had heard the jazz music and thought id have a look) when a drunk bald bloke with terrible skin and trim grabbed my drink and pushed me out the door yelling not to get out and not come back. The wine was nicked by him and I was stranded alone from my girlfriend and friends. He then started yelling at the crowd of people I was with. Terrible service! I will ruin this pub!!

I visited Bedford Street on Saturday night with some friends. With the current Covid restrictions I had booked well in advance to ensure we had a table. Although this was booked, when I arrived at Bedford Street me and the party were asked to queue, we ended up queuing for 30 mins! This really ruined the evening. In the queue there were a group in front of us who were also asked to queue, however after they queued for 30 mins, they were told there is no availability. I thought this was disgusting. It feels like they like there to be a queue outside to make them look busier than they are. Myself and the group ordered our drinks via the app as requested. This started out fine, however from 9.30pm we were no longer able to order cocktails from the app. When we asked a waiter why this was, we were told that there was a backlog of orders. The organisation of this was a shambles, you were forced to order a shot of a spirit and a pint of a mixer, which is a waste of money. I appreciate this current situation is not the norm, however I feel the team need some customer service training on how to manage if they are going to continue to open.

Stopped in for a pint and a snack - arrived before 3pm - ordered half a shandy (arrived as straight beer), a coke and a plate of chips to share via the app. After waiting 25 mins, we asked where the food was, we were asked did we order through the app as the food finished at 3pm - discussed it with a colleague who advised they would refund us. Not a difficult order and if food stops at 3pm it should say so on the app. Not a great atmosphere to be fair. Can’t see how the drink order went through in the app but the food didn’t or more to the point wasn’t noticed which I think is more likely, seems like it was a lack of attention to details - more interested in setting up the seat cushions on the outside tables/benches. We were told there was a one way policy in operation but the other patron was obviously a regular as he was walking any way round - also worth noting no face masks were worn once the staff were inside. Disappointing ☹️

We had a lovely evening with friends, booking two tables of 6 - something we were really looking forward to after nearly 18 months of lockdown. Two friends turned around and the incredibly drunk owner in a sequin dress came over and said we had 8 on a table. We said the two will turn around and the sozzled owner was delirious and so drunk that she then stumbled over, before declaring she was the owner numerous times (not sure if she actually was, didn’t seem like the type), she then kept announcing through slurred words that she was getting the bouncers to throw us out, which they reluctantly did. Someone this addicted to alcohol should not be allowed to own a bar, it’s not safe for anyone involved (customer, barman, supplied etc.)

After waiting at the front door for 5 minutes, we were hardly greeted and welcomed to the bar. When we were seated, we all ordered on the app, to find that 45 minutes later our drinks still hadn’t arrived - baring in mind the bar was empty. We went inside to ask & we were then informed the paper machine was broken, however this had not been communicated with us. The lady who then came to take our order was not apologetic and rude. The man who then finally brought us our drinks, told us to “get them ourselves”. Although this aesthetic and location of this bar is lovely, this has entirely been let down by disrespectful and ignorant staff and the poor wait on drinks.

They say it closes at 12am but by 11pm they're kicking us out... I understand that they have to close down the place but that should be reflected in the opening hours...

Went there yesterday and witnessed staff members shouting and customers, our drinks being delayed by 30 mins and when they did come they came out wrong. Will not be attending here again and I hope no one ever does !! DO NOT RECOMMEND

I had been in there for about an hour (spent money in there too). I stepped outside for less than a minute to speak to my friend who was having a cigarette. They refused to allow me back in because I wasn't 'dressed like a woman'. I was wearing a checkered shirt, jeans and black shoes. They were letting men in who were wearing the same as me. But they told me that because I'm female it was unacceptable attire. They were also letting men in who were wearing a t shirt, shorts and trainers while telling me I could not go back in with my colleagues because I wasn't dressed like a woman. Despite being smarter dressed than my male counterparts. My colleagues spoke to the manager and two bouncers who admitted if I was a man then I would have been allowed back in. Completely unacceptable. No other bar in all my years has had a problem with the way I dress.

The place is an absolute shambles! We ordered cocktails and they never came so we asked somebody where they were after 20 mins and we were met with a stern ' they are coming'. I can understand they were busy but that is no way to be talking to a customer. After another 15 mins we chased them up again and they said it never came up on their side so didnt go through.... even though it had clearly left my bank account. I showed this to the person serving us and they said they didnt know what to do ?! We were then asked to leave as the table was needed to fit more people inside. AWFUL PLACE DO NOT GO !!!!!

Worst customer service I have ever witnessed, Shouted at a young child of mine. Avoid this place this place like the plague. Simply the worst pub in Leamington spa. Reported this pub to police as it not a safe place full of very aggressive people.

We noted on arriving that the place was full, with around 150 customers seated and a queue along the street but only 6 staff visible. Our host (Max or Matt - the floor supervisor) advised us that a slight delay is likely due to being short staffed and current demand which we accepted. After 20minutes and as our order was being delivered Our host came over and told the waiter to take some of our drinks back to the bar ASAP. The other waiter said to our host “why there’s nothing wrong with these, go away” My friends realised that the host had noticed lipstick on two of our glasses. Our host took the drinks away from the waiter and us after saying they’d be returned in the correct way very soon. Some 20mins later we noticed our drinks still on the bar in these dirty glasses and asked “Liam” where our drinks where. Liam told us “ that’s not my job” laughed and walked away. We stopped our host again and demanded things be fixed right away as it’s beyond a joke now, he apologised repeatedly and assured us he would do his best to sort things. We watched on in disbelief,as our host was shouted at by someone we guess is a more senior manager for being on the bar and to get out of the bar immediately “as I’ve told you never ever go on the bar” Our host came back and apologised that he can’t bring the outstanding drinks as he isn’t permitted to be on the bar and he hoped our drinks would be sent soon. Another Half hour passes and we are told we’ve 5minutes left before we have to give the table back. We explained to “Shaydon” that we are still waiting for some drinks ordered over an hour ago. He demanded we prove that we had ordered these drinks with online bank statement and order confirmation. We showed this to be told “you should have told us sooner” we explained we had chased them up many times and that our drinks where still sat on the bar with lipstick on needing to be replaced. We watched shaydon pour the drinks from the dirty glasses to another, bring them over to us and say “I’ll give you two minutes to finish them before I need this table back” and walked away. We stopped our host again and explained what we just saw, that the drinks are now flat and watered down from the melted ice and that we’ve been told to go now as such we don’t want them and require a refund. The host explained that due to the issues we faced, he could refund the two drinks but would have to take drinks back to the bar, which we agreed as we did not want them anyway. As we were leaving we overheard the host getting told off by “ Shaydon”for issuing refunds and that he would be disciplined if he issued any more refunds. We felt and still do feel terrible for getting our host into trouble for trying to fix our problem. Had the host been allowed to fix the faulty drinks the first time we complained for us; a refund wouldn’t have been necessary and we would have spent a lot more money with you. Our host should be supported and assisted to fix the problems by “ management” and in a timely manner, instead our host was publicly undermine, humiliated and verbally punished in full view of staff and customers for trying to fix something which should never have happened in the first place. In a pandemic it is of the highest importance that drinks be served in clean, sterile glasses and not with some strangers lippy still on. It was also very upsetting to watch on as the host was abused by another customer repeatedly; (being called a gay c**t and a d******d). We overheard the host complain to Shaydon about this. Shaydon appeared not to address this with the abusive person as he stood laughing and joking with the abusive woman who told shaydon that the host is a “d******d” and “w****e”; shaydon laughed. The abuse we witnessed the host take, constitutes a criminal offence as a hate crime and is wholly unacceptable. The way in which it was “dealt with” by Shaydon is another criminal offence of conspiracy to commit hate crime. We became increasingly concerned for the welfare of your employees when we overheard the host be told to remove his coat. The weather at the time was a heavy rainstorm with chilling winds. The host removed his coat but it was clear very quickly that the cold and wet was effecting him due to goosebumps and him physically shaking. We left a £10 tip specifically for our host (Max/Matt) through the app and told him about this. We kindly ask that this tip be passed on directly to our host in full!!We understand that at present it is difficult and challenging however your staff should be supported, enabled and empowered to provide the best experience possible for us customers within a safe environment and to do so demands full support and respect from management when issues caused by other staff arise. Because of the scenes we watched and our first hand experiences during our latest visit and the ongoing pandemic we will not be returning here until management can get the basics sorted (using dirty glasses/ looking after their staff members well-being)
