Dukes Wine Bar & Bistro in Sefton

What a great place !! Excellent service, very quick too.Best fish and chips ever. My husband loved his burger. Our first visit but we will definately return x Thank you

As a regular customer- not such a good lunch experience this time. Revised menu offers less choice. After a 30 minute wait food arrived greasy & luke warm. Staff were unsympathetic & unapologetic. Dukes have now lot a regular customer.

Amazing fresh food, everything was impeccable and the staff were beyond lovely We had a fantastic time -will be back very soon

We hired the function room upstairs, the room is lovely bright and beautifully decorated. The food was absolutely amazing, presented beautifully and plentiful. Communication with the owners to book the venue and arrange the food was easy and enjoyable as Margaret and Micheal are lovely friendly and very helpful. We would definitely recommend the function room for any type of function. The restaurant downstairs is also fantastic and the food is amazing. We also just stopped for coffee and cake too and sat outside - a really lovely place !

Had a fantastic steak at dukes chef Tony is amazing! The Tuesday night steak deal is fantastic we will be back for sure Fantastic food

We live local to here but haven’t been in to eat as a couple since 2021 but I had a lovely meal with a friend for lunch a couple of months ago. As it was a sunny day, I’d a craving for a bbq and settled for a burger out and we were so glad we came here. I more than got my burger fix - so juicy and flavoursome with incredible toppings. My husband had cod and chips - a huge thick piece of cod that was perfectly cooked with gorgeous chips, lovely curry sauce and homemade tartare sauce. Divine drinks and exceptional service too. Thankyou. We’d highly recommend.

As usual a fantastic evening out. Ainsdale village has become a real hub with its multitude of bars and Dukes is very much at the heart of it. Food great, service great, prices the best around!

Great food - simple Gluten free options available too Thought we would stop for a coffee but were tempted by the great and friendly service into a bit of Brunch All freshly made with local ingredients - You can see the chef ! Great value too £7 for the Breakfast Balm, 2 sausages, 2 bacon and a poached egg - delicious.

Nice restaurant. A busy day for them and was mostly very good. Service good until we had our main. .the roast was good and plentiful. Only niggles were yorkie was dry and had I to go to the bar to get a napkin as as was used on the ribs starter and no-one checked back on the main.

Fabulous food excellent service. We got the duck wrap with fries and coleslaw and the fish and chips with dips. Both were delicious the chips were amazing. The staff were helpful and friendly. Will be going back and 💯 recommend paying them a visit.

This was my first visit to Dukes, though somewhere my Auntie frequents on a regular basis and I can see why. The team gave us and all other guests a warm and friendly welcome, and the service during our meal was nice & efficient. Food was excellent, really well cooked and presented and the right size portion. I look forward to a re visit next time I visit Ainsdale. 3 happy Kittens 😉

The Juke is excellent for food great atmosphere the staff are great as well we will definitely be back very soon Sunday dinner was fabulous

me and my family came here for my dads birthday, the staff were lovely and service was very quick. the food was 5 star was very happy with everything will certainly be back again soon!

Gorgeous every time we visit lovely food ,staff and owner are brilliant nothing is ever too much xxx

Just had a wonderful Xmas day dinner at Dukes. Staff warm & welcoming, service excellent, food fresh, hot, sooo tasty & every plate empty. Not at all rushed, very chilled, but happy vibe. Thoroughly recommend trying Dukes as always have a good experience there.

We (party of 6) had an exceptional Christmas dinner experience at Dukes yesterday. The service was impeccable, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. The chefs truly outdid themselves with a delightful array of dishes that were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I can't praise the Mikey and the team at Dukes enough for a memorable day filled with outstanding food and a top-notch service.

Had a Wonderful Christmas dinner with great food, drink and service. Would definitely go again, Very attentive staff even on such a busy day.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. The staff were helpful and pleasant. Looking forward to a return visit.

visited for sunday lunch, the food was really good and reasonably priced for 3 courses. I find it hard to get a roast dinner these days but it was really nice. staff were very good as is the decor

We had the new evening menu. Scotch egg and sea bass fillets. The food was really good as usual. Nice that the menu has a few changes every weeks. New cocktails by Connor for Christmas are lovely and the atmosphere is great as usual. Cannot fault Dukes.

Lovely food, piping hot. Staff lovely, went above and beyond. Would have been an excellent except for one thing.... very pricey. £9 for a tapas extortionate, steaks the same. Need to sell your kidney to pay for them. It let place down slightly as believe overcharging for food amount received. 4 coconut prawns also nearly £9. Needs to take a look at its pricing. If it did I would rate it excellent.

I'm a regular at this fantastic bar and restaurant and enjoyed the new winter menu. I had the venison pie and winter vegetables and it was one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The venison was tender with a rich flavour and the chantenay root vegtables, asparagus and cream potato where delicious.

Great bistro for a night out. Lots of choice on the menu and the food is excellent Great service with a smile A happy and sociable bar/bistro

Love this place. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. The atmosphere is always comfortable and relaxed.

Excellent menu choice. High quality food and service. Great choice of draft drinks. Thoroughly recommend. All our party enjoyed the ambience. Will be going back soon.

Absolutely fabulous little gem of a restaurant food is amazing always cooked to a very high standard service is brilliant we are always made to feel very welcome atmosphere is so freindly and very cosy roast dinners are a must and the puddings are to

Only been in the area 14 months and can honestly say this is a fab place to go for food and drinks. The young lady who serves behind the bar is gem, she works her absolute socks off. This is the type of place where...

Once again a fabulous meal at Dukes. The ambience is brilliant, it’s got a real friendly vibe about the place. As a woman I could easily eat here without any concern of feeling uncomfortable. We decided to eat off the small plates and had tomato...

Went on Thursday afternoon for lunch in the autumn sunshine , everything was lovely , shared and sandwich and duck noodle dish 🍁🍂🍁

It was far from busy when we went in one afternoon last week - a few tables of people sitting outside, and a handful sitting inside. We walked up to the bar where a member of staff had her back to us, she seemed to...

Very disappointed today. Ordered a skinny latte and when I pointed out that there was only 2/3 of a cup of coffee (the rest was froth) the lovely lady who brought it to me said that she had said this to the person who made...

Although I have been a regular here for some time ( usually just for drinks or breakfast) this was the first time for dinner with friends. There was not only a choice from the main dinner menu but the tapas menu was also available or...

We had an unforgettable night at Duke's for my Mum's 60th birthday party. The staff were lovely and accommodating, the buffet was amazing (even for vegans) and the upstairs room was perfect. The chandelier looks great in photos!

Not sure I want to tell you about this place, want to be able to get a table !! Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast, lovely staff, service and food to die for at an amazingly good price! Highly recommend!

Great experience. Friendly, attentive staff. Lovely food. Would totally recommend this place for drinks or lunch.

A friend and I have been enjoying an early evening meal here for the last 4/5 weeks. The food is delicious, imaginative and reasonably priced. Although there is already plenty of variety, they do change the menus and we particularly like sharing the small plates....

Always friendly and efficient service and the food is also top notch. As said in other reviews, prices are also very reasonable Highly recommended.

10 of us randomly turned up at a busy lunch time, we were met with nothing but the best service, they pulled tables together to accommodate us, pateintly waited through 10 very over tired and exhausted party goers orders, nailed that and the food was,...

Very friendly staff who did all they could to help us feel welcome and comfortable. Delicious food. I hope to come back soon. 🙏🏽

Excellent food, very attentive staff and great prices. Can’t complain! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Ainsdale.

A very popular place with amazing food, hand cut chips cooked in beef dripping and perfect battered fish! The rest of rhw family also couldn't fault there meals and for some of them this is a regular venue. You really need to book a table.

Called in for Sunday lunch and as usual it was excellent. I’ve been many times and every time the food, staff and setting have been great, the great advantage of having an actual chef cooking your meal.

Had a beautiful Sunday roast- sorry no pic of the roast was so good Id eaten before taking a photo. The best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long while, everything freshly cooked. We had the main and desert for £23 . Lovely restaurant great...

Met friends for dinner this evening. We’ve eaten here quite a few times now and every time it’s been excellent. This evening two of us had fish and chips with mushy peas, curry sauce and tartare sauce. One had the duck leg and one the...

Fantastic Sunday lunch served by the nicest, friendly people as always. My favourite place in the village.

Had the blade of beef at Dukes last night 1st April. Tasted lovely but fully a quarter of the meat portion was fat and the meal included just one potato. Service from Verity was good despite it being very busy there. Will try elsewhere in...

Table booked for 10.30 with 4 friends asked what we wanted to drink straight away. 4 breakfasts all ordered when the drinks arrived. Glad we had booked as by the time our food arrived the place was full. The toast was a bit slow in...

My first visit since Dukes Bar took over Bar Mio. We were the last in for a late Sunday Lunch at 6pm. Quite dissapointed as no Welsh Beef left, so opted, for Roasted Belly Pork. It was fab, off the clock, with great roasties and...

Best Ribeye steak ever with delicious seasoning. Perfectly cooked. Great value when compared with today’s silly steak prices. Service way above the norm. Friendly, efficient staff. 10 out of 10!

Went to Dukes for Xmas day dinner. The food was great from start to finish. The staff were unbelievable. Well done everyone !!! A good experience

My wife and I decided to treat ourselves to breakfast on our anniversary, and we love Eggs Benedict. The eggs should be served with runny yolks and and most places "nick" the soft yolk as part of the presentation. However, our eggs arrived hard, and...

Excellent meal, tasty cocktails and amazing service from the lovely Dylan 😍 👌 We'll be back! It was lovely to visit Ainsdale looking resplendent for Christmas 🎄

Normally come for a drink but decided to book for food this weekend which was excellent. Good range on the menu and even though it was busy the staff were attentive. One of my favourite places to come for a drink.

Excellent service and delicious lunch. We didn't go for over a year as we previously had a disappointing experience. However, this time it was very good and we will come more often again.

I usually visit Dukes for an outdoor coffee. When my husband died we asked if they could put a buffet on upstairs for 60 people. They took all the stress out of a very difficult situation. The staff were happy to meet with us to...

Once again another great visit to Dukes for lunch. Something for everyone on the menu whether it's light bites and tapas, sandwiches or dessert and coffee. (A well stocked bar too) My dessert of rum cake served with a white chocolate sphere and raspberries was...

Went to Dukes for the first time last week. We were welcomed and seated, although we hadn't booked, and our order for drinks then dinner were taken. Ambience was good although perhaps a little 'echoey'. Our starter was good, although we wondered about the choice...

My first ever 1 star review. I have been here 4 times now and have to say it’s just not very welcoming, and today will be the last time I will visit. The reason is purely down to customer service and the (I assume) owner....

Quality feel to ‘Dukes’ when walking in and a great welcome Six very happy diners, the roast dinner arrived pipping hot and delicious. Super impressed with veggie version, not normally one for a nut roast, but my sister and I thought it was superb. Only...

Lovely breakfast . Really friendly staff. Came back the next day. Thanks Jon for looking after us all.

We came here with a group of friends for breakfast. It was very busy and we were looked after. Such friendly staff and the food was great. We came back for round 2 on the Sunday.

Came here for breakfast twice this weekend, a large group of us and although extremely busy they were really accommodating and very friendly, the food was great really tasty. Thank you

Lovely food great value and friendly staff best breakfast in the village highly recommend 5*. Lovely sitting outside feels like your on holiday beautiful decor inside and out .

Dukes is a lovely wine bar. I have been quiet a few times now and I have to say the food is amazing. Great customer service from all the staff always greeted with a smile!

Excellent food! Incredible environment. Polite and caring staff. Amazing place to attend. Would highly recommend.

We visited Dukes last night for food for the first time. I have to say it was excellent. There was a nice choice on the menu and we chise from the tapas dishes. The waiter, Dean, was really friendly and the owner came to check...

Went to this place yesterday for an amazing breakfast!!! The food was amazing and the staff verite and nicky could not do enough to make sure we had everything we required. This is going to be our go to place in future. Please try it...

Great cafe/ wine bar which offers great food and service. The staff are very friendly and the food is good. Went for a great breakfast this morning with friends. Would highly recommend 👍👏👏

Good variety of food. We ordered tapas and 4 was enough for filling lunch for 2. Very well ventilated and dogs welcome on terrace Only downside was smoking is allowed on terrace and yet people eating - surely not popular these days!!

Busy but by no means full & plenty of staff on duty. Patiently waited 15 mins for even an acknowledgement of my presence, finally decided I needed to go to the bar if I wanted serving when others came in after me were immediately greeted...
