Bloom Global Eaterie & Show Hall in Middlesbrough

GREASE NIGHT Sat 16th August - Right, where do I start? We've always loved this place (been here a few times) my lady booked us a table for the Grease themed night tonight and what can I say, this place never disappoints. We love this place because of a number of reasons, its never packed with people due to the sensible tables distances & size of the venue, the staff are always plentiful, attentive & friendly, prices aren't ridiculous, menus are great and the entertainments is always top notch! Tonight our server, Holli, was a total pleasure (we were on table 2 on the balcony) she was totally on the ball, we watched her keeping an eye on our table throughout the night & we were never without a drink, our food was served in good time, the food was lovely (thanks to the chefs) & when Holli was busy with other things the other waiters in the venue were quick to takeover to seamlessly provide great service. The 2 Emilies were lovely too, they were great in getting everyone in the venue to join in which enhanced the whole experience, they spread themselves around the whole audience & came to us twice and engaged in conversation which was lovely. Ben on the keyboard was great, full of enthusiasm and always a pleasure to watch, the rest of the band were great and the singer was great as usual. Special thanks to Holli & well done to the Blooms team & we'll be back again soon.

Lovely Decor, welcoming friendly staff, lovely atmosphere..food was really nice, nice range of cocktails too. Would definatley recommend.

We went for Sunday lunch But this will be the last time. The staff are great very friendly and polite however the food was dreadful I asked for no mash but there was a scoop of it under my very lukewarm veg. The cauliflower cheese was dreadful over cooked and the sauce was like water. I asked for a trio of meats but there was no chicken which was fine but I had a big lump of fat on my plate The singer which you pay a charge for was on for about 15 minutes and left the meals went back we were offered a replacement but declined. It’s a shame for such a nice place we were the first couple to eat it there when it opened up to the public but we won’t be returning as the food is not as good

We hired the private area at the side of the bar for a surprise 60th birthday party at Bloom. We had an amazing night, the staff were fabulous and the food was fantastic. One night in Motown was also on and they sang for the birthday girl. Thank you so much to everyone for making the birthday party so special, we all really appreciated your efforts!! 🤩🌟

Came for motown night on 21st June and I was not disappointed, service was fab from start to finish and the band... well.. wow... absolutely unreal especially the keyboard player.. never seen anything like it. First class evening from start to finish cannot wait to come back

Organised our staff night out with Sienna, who made it so easy! From booking to on the day she was so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Sienna was actually there on the day to take care of us alongside our designated server Ethan. The service was fantastic, the food amazing and as a group of 19 having the bottomless package, drinks were always topped up ! Entertainment was great and will definitely visit again. Thank you so much for a great night ❤️

Everything was 10/10, couldn’t have asked for more from our server kady! She was fab, couldn’t recommend this place enough and she made our experience even better. Well done kady, well done everyone at bloom! Great night, best night in boro!!

Great cocktails , food amazing, atmosphere on point, live music and service from Kady was great ! friendly and helpful , sorted cocktails off menu, and couldn’t do enough to make sure we enjoyed evening , great night , would recommend 🥰

Excellent food, great entertainment and the service by Kady was outstanding, very helpful and polite. We will definitely be back.

Great atmosphere and Kady our server could not do enough to keep us topped up and looked after. Food and drinks were great. The live entertainment was class and made the night so fun. Only downside was it’s quite cramped on the balcony

Came for my birthday on the 24th Feb. Such a great night, food was lovely, entertainment AMAZING!! But our server, Kady, made it really special. Always there for whatever we needed and even gave me a special birthday drink, thanks so much to her! X

Absolutely incredible atmosphere and energy here from the live singer + musicians, and the staff (special shoutout to the sweetie Kady for making our night so much fun and bringing on the shots!) Me and my friends had an amazing time, will definitely be back.

The duck in cherry sauce was the best meal I have ever eaten. The entertainment during the meal was fantastic, the cocktails were delicious and Kady our sever couldn’t have been better ! Will be back !

The idea of Bloom is such a good one, it has so much potential and no competition in it's area really, but was such a let down. It's quite small and intimate settling which upon arrival, we loved, however it very quickly went downhill. We bought tickets priced at £15 each for the Gatsby show. You have to buy a meal and drinks when there also. The food is expensive but we we're aware of this before booking, and it was a treat night out-something different, so we were happy to spend a bit more for the experience. The food was nice- service ok, though they didn't have much knowledge of the menu. We felt very confused throughout the night. There was live music. A singer, someone on keyboard and someone on drums. And although they were fairly good (keyboard player very good) but Gatsby/1920's songs were not performed. The evening consisted of a complete mixed bag of songs ranging from 1000 kisses, young hearts run free, love train, Megan Trainer, Dusty Springfield, The Jungle books-bare necessities, Donna Summer, Cher- do you believe in life after love love and Tina Turner. We were absolutely gutted! We did not pay for the tickets, travel, drinks and food to sit and watch a club act. There was no jazz, no 1920's songs or songs from the Gatsby film. They did play "a little party never killed nobody" from the film (over the speakers-not the band) when two dancers were dancing but then completely cut it off 2mins in. Touching on the two dancers, not to be awful but they were bad. It was a bit like watching a kids school play. They struggled. One watching the other at all times trying to keep up, not in time with eachother, and at one point actually bumping into eachother getting totally lost in what part of their routine they were upto. It was a real let down. The advertisement states you will be transformed into the 1920's. We really weren't when we were sat completely confused watching them singing Tina Turner- proud Mary. All in all it worked out to be a very expensive evening. We felt robbed. We'd paid £15 for a Gatsby show that wasn't provided. If all the audience hadn't dressed up so well I don't think you'd know the theme of the night upon entering - apart from the backdrop. It was a real flop. You can not advertise a themed evening such as Elvis- request people join in dressing up in Elvis theme, then sing Michael Jackson, Take That and Elton John for eg. The evenings music should have prodominanty consisted of Gatsby/1920's jazz music. We're still struggling to understand why it didn't. And 2 days later, after our now 3rd conversation with one of their many managers we are no further forward with our complaint/refund we were told we would get. Constructive criticism would be: -More performance and a little less club singer vibes (stick to the advertised theme). -More professional dancers, some dotted about throughout the audience. -Staff allocated tables so your not asked every 30 seconds by 4 members of staff if you'd like another drink ordering. Could be so much better- it's false advertisement at its best. If your happy to pay £15 for a Gatsby evening and do the conga, Love train around the room then this is the place to go for a good arm wave. UPDATE- After hearing nothing back from Bloom on Monday, as promised by one of the managers, Gary.I sent an email asking what was happening with our refund. Another manager then later rang me (not sure how many managers one place can have) in response to my email. I didn't quite catch his name, but it wasn't Gary. He said I'm still the only person on the planet to ever put a complaint in about the Gatsby show (ok, they didn't say the planet,lol) but that based on what I've voiced (and that I'm clearly not letting this drop), they are willing to refund our show tickets only. It's still cost us a fortune in travel, costumes, food and drinks but it's better than nothing. They then however accidentally rang me back and it turned out Gary wasn't too busy to have rang me back, or away on other business, he was in fact stood asking whoever it was I spoke to on the phone, to relay our conversation... I got to listen to them talking about me without them having a clue for over 12 minutes. It was very interesting listen to. Thanks again Bloom :D

Outstanding food & service. Cocktails were amazing, tasted great. Had an amazing few visits here now. Never fails to leave us impressed! The entertainment is brilliant and well worth the visit!

Excellent night out, great service and amazing staff, who will do anything for you to make your evening special. Brilliant shows, will certainly come again! 😊

The idea and concept is fantastic. The atmosphere and the entertainment was great and the decor lovely. The food and service how ever was a massive let down. Came for afternoon tea. Large group with several allergy issues which we rang ahead and informed the team at the time of booking. Comes to the day and one of the party who can’t tolerate butter was told there wasn’t anymore bread to make her order! Eventually this was rectified but long after the rest of the party had eaten. Another member of the party was charged £90 for three beers and his afternoon tea - refunded straight away once he pointed it out. The quality of the afternoon tea (for what we paid) was poor. Not fresh and possibly shop bought goods. Lovely idea but needs more attention to detail

Absolutely fantastic place to be! Staff were so lovely and so polite! I cannot wait to go back! I would highly reccomend it!

Had a fantastic evening of lovely cocktails, great food and full packed entertainment! Went last night to The Great Gatsby event. From entering the door we were welcomed and looked after all night by great friendly staff. Especially from Jordan who gave great recommendations for our tastes. She went above and beyond to make our evening enjoyable. Thank you.

Love it here! We have been a few times and it’s great! Great service, brilliant food and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Entertainment is fabulous and definitely worth a visit.

First time at Blooms for a family birthday. Was disappointing. The service rushed and half of the staff seemed miserable as if they didn't want to be there! The food was average. We expected better for the price. I've had better. We only saw half of the show and was rushed to leave because the table was booked after us. They should arrange the bookings to allow people time.

Just been for afternoon tea with my mam and sisters, what a total utter disappointment. When we arrived for our 1.30pm booking we were told that we would have to wait till 2.30pm for afternoon tea. Even though we booked over the telephone and paid...

We came my parter and my son for the Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic. The toilets were really bad i couldn't believe the state of them i ended up not going after i saw how bad they were. When the bill arrived i was...

We had high expectations of this night out, particularly since the food and drinks were pricey. I ordered a Cajun chicken and vegetable penne arrabiats, which the waitress struggled to find on her iPad despite only being 6 pasta dishes to choose from. My partner...

Worst afternoon Tea ever … which is such a shame as this was a Xmas gift from my nieces for my 92yr old mum & I … all four of us experienced this earlier today. On entering the premises at 2pm we were greeted with...

Food quality and dining experience no longer matches the prices. It's sad to say this as I had dined here frequently when Bloom first opened, my last couple of visits have not impressed me and eateries of lesser expense are offering much higher quality food...

We loved Blooms back on April for food so decided to order the same, but unfortunately all 3 meals were really horrible. 2 of us had Tuna on noodles, the Tuna was barely cooked and my friend couldnt stand looking at it and secondly it...

Visited with friends for a Christmas celebration. First thing to say is that the food was lovely however….One of our party ordered a burger but was brought fish when the food arrived. The waitress said she had pressed the wrong item on her order pad...

Eight of us attended for our annual Christmas Sunday out. We had pre-drinks upstairs before being escorted to our table which was close to the stage. The food and service were superb plus whilst we were eating the ‘Christmas Belles’ sang Christmas songs from throughout...

We had an asking time at Bloom !! Fantastic entertainment, gorgeous food and amazing cocktails , but I so need to say the most memorable part of our visit was our server Kady. She could not have been more attentive, fun but so professional. Kady...

Kady was a great hostess and looked after us well. Food was excellent and cocktails were good. Entertainment was a bit annoying at times but Kady was superb

Food average. Dessert poor awful stale cheesecake. Rushed off our table to enable next sitting. Was so looking forward to this but sorry won’t bother coming back

Fabulous afternoon at Bloom. The staff were extremely attentive. Constantly asking of we needed anything. Entertainment brilliant, music good, games and great interaction with the audience. The trio on stage worked well together but the star of the show was the superb friendly singer Marina...

Booked online for my wife's birthday as they were having a Moulin Rouge night. Got seated with no problems. Had a starter of calamari, which was very nice but sliced thin and not much of it. Main I had lamb rump, was gorgeous. Decided to...

Brillant food, service and entertainment. Live singer was amazing. Very comfortable atmosphere. Starters were lovely we got nachos and duck. Mains we had the Cajun chicken pasta and burger. Best burger we’ve had. Drinks and cocktails were good and all at a good price too...

We booked the Hallowwen burleqsue show last minute and drove over from the Lake district. From the ment we arrived Fatima our waitress was so attemtive, very friendly and chatty. The show was wonderful, so much fun and the food and service were a definate...

Great night out to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The food was delicious - especially the salmon pasta and burgers. The staff were helpful and the band who were playing were great - even singing requests and happy birthday to my cousin. Another family member had...

The food here was amazing! I had the seafood linguini and my wife had the salmon, both dishes were of a very high standard. The entertainment was spot on, great fun. Excellent audience participation and it's exactly what teesside needs. Well worth every penny.

I would just like to say thank you to anya as she has been really attentive and knows exactly what she is doing and been so very friendly and helpful!! Would highly recommend this place for cocktails and food, the cajan chicken pasta was out...

Well what can I say , a fabulous night show food and drinks , but most of all the staff are professional , polite , never waited for anything , bar staff fab , well organised but most of all our waiter and server Josie...

Lovely place . Nice decor . 15 pounds per person tickets price . Food and drinks extra . Show was ok but not what we expected not much moulin rouge . Staff seemed to push drinks . Had to ask twice to order food ....

Booked the Moulin Rouge night. Booked a table of 4 a few weeks ahead at £15 a head entrance fee. Arrived for the 1st time visiting Bloom, and it's nicely decorated. Shown to table and drinks ordered. Staff were friendly and busy, during the night...

It was suppose to be a special night for my wife birthday (59), we arrived slightly early, 12 minutes early. The reception guy, said we were early, we said we had a reservation, quick collaboration with colleague, could not find it, so instead offered the...

Bloom night, for tribute act, few drinks and food. Our first visit a few months ago we were in a booth near the toilet door - the smell wafting out was very bad indeed but these things can happen now and again, we had a...

We reserved a table on line for four people. The tables are really small and could cope with no more than 4 plates and 4 drinks. We ordered 2 Sunday lunch platters and when everything started to arrive immediately realised it wouldn’t fit on the...

I booked the unlimited after work menu for 8 people, 3/4 weeks before our visit for my sister in laws 40th birthday. We headed over on the afternoon to drop a cake and decorations off, at this point I requested a certain table which I...

Visited previously and had a fantastic time. Unfortunately last night wasn’t great. We went for the after work club bottomless drinks and meal. We asked 3 different members of staff for drinks and waited almost 20 minutes with empty glasses. When we complained about this...

Very poor in terms of bottomless description - spent long periods of time waiting for drinks - when we complained was met with complacency to promises to resolve that never materialised

Visited for first time last night. Night was billed as Moulin Rouge. Cost £15 each!!There was a singer and 2 dancers. Not the performance I was expecting. In my opinion the singer had too weak a voice to be with good drummer and keyboard. The...

Fantastic night at Bloom watching the Moulin Rouge show. Great entertainment from all the performers and the staff were lovely too. The food was absolutely delicious, I had the calamari to start then the tuna for main. We enjoyed a few tasty cocktails and were...

I’ve had the most amazing time today. The trio that entertained us were outstanding but the one that stood out was the pianist who played so many songs without any sheet music in front of him - he was phenomenal! The food at the venue...

I can’t give this anything more than 2 stars for the sheer price of the brunch. We paid £80 for 2 people to have 2 slices of bread, about 3 tiny mini pastries, and a bottle of Prosecco. The brunch lasts 4 hours. So obviously...

Came for Sunday lunch with work mates. Can't knock food or service, but we were sat in 2 booths near the mens toilets and the smell was really off-putting. Maybe a door from restaurant to toilet corridoor would prevent the customers from smelling them, but...

Came here for something a bit different. The place is lovely (except upstairs to the ladies ) Four of us enjoyed our food and cocktails. The cabaret were good not really sure it’s worth 12% on the bill as they had breaks every 20 minutes...

Wow! This old bank has been transformed into an amazing venue. What a welcome we received from Gary and his team. So warm and friendly. The seating is elegant and luxurious and we all ha e a great intimate close up of the stage and...

Second time we’ve been with friends and we all had a great night, lovely food and fantastic entertainment!

Have been wanting to try this place after hearing so many people rave about it, so we booked the burlesque night in advance. The place has a swanky feel to it along with a cool atmosphere, something that nowhere else in Middlesbrough has. It’s certainly...

Absolutely fantastic food, service and entertainment! An expensive night with the bill coming to about £200 then a further £20 for the table booking that’s for two of us. However it was an experience in itself. From the super smart door staff/bouncer welcoming you in...

Really not worth the hype. The food was average at best. And the ‘entertainment’ was dire. The house band were so cheesy, and not in a good way! The song choices were poor and better suited to a cruise ship. As for the showgirls/ dancers,...

Absolutely loved the Sunday Soul experience, six of us went for my Wife’s Birthday, the food, cocktails, and staff were amazing, the music was brilliant, loud enough to enjoy it, but not too loud that you can’t talk between your friends.. 100% would recommend Bloom

2nd visit to this unique restaurant. Still fantastic! Food is exceptional quality with all 6 of us loving two courses. Staff are superb, and service is friendly. The band are incredible! They take requests along with their set, and can literally play anything!! Be warned,...

We booked for thr Soulful Sunday lunch, went with good friends, 3 couples in all. 1st impressions very good, lovely decor, friendly attentive staff who were happy to find us a booth large enough for us to sit together. Ordered cocktails which were excellent. Sunday...

Amazing food. Amazing venue. Amazing entertainment. Amazing staff - especially Cameron - he was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely the best venue in Middlesbrough - will definitely be returning!

Excellent service. Lovely food. Excellent entertainment. People playing the Music were fantastic. Went for my birthday and they were brilliant. Would 100% recommend it.

Soo - heard good reviews of the place and great to see something different in Middlesbrough . However went on a Thursday night and got to say left disappointed. The venue it’s self is lovely the food pretty good and the staff were attentive ....

Visited last night with a group of friends. The entertainment was great and the service was great too. Cameron was very attentive, and even got us a round of shots when we went up to the cocktail bar. The food was amazing! Got a pulled...

The food was absolutely amazing but the staff and entertainment were even better. It was such a lovely experience - we booked for 5pm as we had our 4 year old with us. The musicians played her Disney songs even though they were on their...

First visit to this place, for which there had been a lot of hype. It is something different for the area, which is excellent. In general, was impressed by the decor, the service, the atmosphere, even though we were 'round the corner' with a restricted...

Came here at the wkend with friends..the entertainment was fab.loved the live music.the food was gorgeous, generous portions..received excellent service..fantastic venue for middlesbrough.i would highly recommend it

Better than the Mayfair supper club at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Staff, food, drinks, decor and entertainment were all incredible. A must try for groups, families or couples who want a fun and friendly atmosphere with great entertainment included

Visited bloom on a Friday evening for a celebratory birthday meal. Was very impressed with the food and friendly service. The menu had lots of choice from scallops, burrata salad, French rack of lamb, duck, everything was cooked to perfection and I'd be keen to...

Enjoy a fantastic afternoon at Bloom on Sunday for an early birthday celebration The food service and entertainment were fabulous! What a great venue I will certainly be returning

Tried Bloom for the first time last night. Great night, lovely atmosphere and fab entertainment. Food was lovely and great staff. Definitely recommend and we will be back again.

Cannot fault Bloom at all. From start to finish everything was perfect for us all. The building and decor is on another level and the food was out of this world. Absolutely fantastic live singers on throughout the evening. The staff were all friendly and...

This was our first visit. Firstly, we were received by a staff member who explained the menu and the layout. Very professional. The live entertainment was excellent and appropriate for the lunch occasion. The food was excellent, as was the service. Well done. We will...

Bloom is in the building that was spencelys and before that Faulkners. Those of us old enough will know this building very well! So the new Bloom is a very different experience to anything in Middlesbrough. Basically Dinner and a show, something which you can't...

Ok, so first the negatives. I’d heard service wasn’t great from people who’d been previously and while you understand a new place will have teething problems, you hope they’re ironed out quickly. We arrived 3 mins before our booking and were told we were early,...
