This is the worst pub in Coventry and its been said by many people, to avoid this place, Reason due to its bad reputation and the place is run by children who act like there still in a playground, the place is well known for antisocial behaviour that attracts the wrong crowd. the owner isn't actually the owner he just leases the place and lies about it. The pub needs a turnover with the correct management and a team with professionalism, until that happens this is a place you should avoid completely.

The DJ is not customer orientated. There are major breaks in the atmosphere due to the fact that he's not connected to the dancefloor. What a shame....

The number one worst venue in Coventry, full of unfavourable characters, no bouncers, Awful Management. Avoid at all costs!

Great little bar, club that has had money spent on it, comfy seats, good barmaids in the morning. Very clean every time I have visited. Two buddies go out diving together, the water is dark in the caves and some parts are hard to follow. One is faster and leaves his mate behind. There is limited air in the dv and a problem occurs. Which lone diver makes it back alone?

My brother and I was out celebrating his birthday. He was attacked on the dance floor by the door staff and was hit and kicked when he was on the floor. He suffers from epilepsy and had a leg brace on. I then went on to call the bar after the incident to ask for the name of the door staff which they refused to give us the name of the company which is totally unprofessional. I will continue to pursue this complaint with or without the compliance of the "Down town staff"

I have been drinking in this establishment for as long as the current owner has been involved in the business, about 23 years and witnessed several re-launches and have seen dozens and dozens of staff come and go, its been several nightclubs, but predominantly a daytime/evening karaoke/dj venue serving the coventry people with a cheap n cheerfull entertainment venue for workers after a days graft as well as the daytime regulars and witnessed its "evolution". It was a place people loved or avoided on false hearsay but i can say hand on heart that the current re-launch from impulse bar to "down-town" is the most significant change ever and it has moved from the equivalent of championship/division 1 team into the premier league, it has now moved into the market of offering everything from live music, dj's, karaoke, "through the decades"music from 60's to the naughties (covid 19 rules permitting) as well as excelent food. The renovation work has "catapulted" this bar into something dynamic that Coventry has been crying out for and the owner has managed to identify a nieche in the market to create a good vibe with the feel of a local pub in the city centre, mainly due to his friendly team of staff that make you feel this is a family run venue where all comers are welcome as well as established requlars, locals, friends and first timers, its a venue that satisfies all your entertainment needs from a midweek meal n music to weekend night out with a late bar, it has served me and my wife well over the last few decades and i look forward to a few more decades. 10/10, spot on, so if we fancy going downtown the only place we head for is down-town.

Edit : This place is closed now permanently. My full experience of Akbars. Please read through. Walk-in experience : Made us wait for 10 min in the lobby even though the table we booked was already free and ready. The staff called us out like this - "5 people, follow me!" when taking to table. The staff ordered this before we even sit - "We will not give any extra naan, chapati, curry once you place the order. You can only order once as we are very busy" Who would like to go to restaurant to be treated like this? Still, we had long day so we sit to eat. Food experience : It's not enough to just say that "taste of every item caters to British tounge". The food here has serious issues. 1. Too much food colouring (see the photos) . It's dark red in colour without any red chillies taste. 2. No water provided at table. (Find it in the photos if you can) 3. Peshwari naan had no dry fruits, Garlic naan had no garlic. But it was like Indian naan, so I give them a point for this. 4. In the name of mix raita, I got curd with salad topping. It is disgusting they call it as raita. 5. They missed the raita while writing order and later blamed on us that we didn't order it. 6. Served main course before starter. 7. Served raita after main course (after reminding thrice) I don't eat non - veg but my friends who went with me said this about non-veg 8. Portion of Akbars special biryani is 1/4 of any other place like Chennai dosa. 9. Starters are dry and hard to chew. It's disgusting. Please avoid this place, the service and food both are undesirable.

29/9/22 Craze is over. Move on. Evolve your business (perhaps offer some new socual media craze. I hear there could be a new drink you sell by some some fuy called ksi or logab paul or whatever their names are. That could be big seller! Sell it with you chips), don't coast on past glories. Bit tragic. Update: 24/1/23: hope you took my advice. That drink became HUGE! You must have made a fortune with it. A sinple thank you to me would be all the payment I need. Update 11/6/23: no thank you ever recieved. How rude. I gave you half a year just for a simple thanks, but no. AVOID. Update: 14/9/23. Still no thank you received. Maybe that huge money maker I let you know about way in advance of the trend wasn't enough? I'm a decent guy, so here is one more product you could sell to make it rich. Its called a "Stanley Cup" . They have been around for ages , but I sure they could be the next big thing due to ticktock most likely. Sell these cups with your meals. Make a fortune! . Hope you at least say thanks this time. Update:20/1/24 : no thanks received but these cups went massive! Maybe you are so rich, you don't need to say thanks to the peasants. How rude! Update 7/3/25: I gave you over a year in the slim hope of acknowledgement. Still nothing. Not heard your name in the media once since the craze ended. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I do have a new money making craze that's about to be potentially massive, but this time I'm keeping it myself. 😉. Bye.
