My favourite coffee and cake stop in Formby, a great value deal at £4.50. The cake is excellent and my reward after a lane swim early Sunday morning! Service is always good, Keira is a great host, polite with a friendly and welcoming smile. Difficult to mark atmosphere due to the early hour on a Sunday morning, the late night revellers from Saturday night probably still in bed! All in all a good venue and well worth a visit, it’s got to be better than the corporate giants elsewhere in the village! Use it or lose it! It gets my vote.

Located in the heart of Formby village in an old bank, Lux37 is an attempt at a concept I love: a business with separate functions that allows it to open all day (in this case a café and bar). Unfortunately, it misses the mark on both. I visited during the morning for coffee and cake, and so will be predominantly reviewing it as a Cafe. The coffee (flat white) was pretty awful. It was so hot that I could still barely drink it after 20 minutes. It was about the right quantity for a flat white, but served in a tall mug, and had no attempt at latte art. The underlying coffee flavour was okay, but that's unfortunately all the good I could say for it. They need to drastically lower the temperature of the milk, train the staff on how to texture it, and choose the right mugs. The cake was nice, so no complaints there. It was soft enough to taste fresh and was great value for money when included in their coffee and cake deal. Staff were very friendly, and dealt with a few unusual patrons whilst we were there very well. The decor of Lux37 is that of a dark and secluded luxury bar / nightclub. This looks like it would work well for the bar side, but works poorly for the cafe. Additionally, they have more recently adapted the place to function as a sports bar, including adding a giant screen and TV showing sports, which clearly clashes with their vibe as a luxury bar and cafe. All of this combines to create a strange concept that fails to function as a Cafe, a high end bar, or a sports bar. I think they're capable of achieving any of them well, maybe even two of them, but they need to focus as currently they seem to be missing the mark on all three. A good example of this is that their table-based bar menu looks luxurious and exclusive, yet the drinks menu above the bar looks like they've printed it on plain white paper and hastily hung it up. There was apparently only one highchair available. I appreciate that the main function of this spot is not as a Cafe, and thus multiple highchairs may seem like an unfair request, but I do think that if you're opening for a few hours as a Cafe in a family orientated town that you could spend a few quid on some more IKEA chairs. Unfortunately we won't be back unless they drastically change something.

My husband and I have been coming here practically every day for the past few weeks whilst we wait for our little boy and the staff are absolutely amazing the seating is really comfortable and the whole place has a very relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious, and everything is reasonably priced they even do deals on drinks and food together. Whilst we've been coming here, we've noticed a few regulars that are also there every day, and the staff treat them like well loved family members. I highly recommend this place.

I dropped into Lux37 for a Long Island Iced Tea in memory of Les Snow who passed around this time last year. We had shared experiences of having this cocktail in Australia and Caesars Palace ..great memories. The two barmen who helped serve me were kind and considerate, not to mention skilled at their art. It tasted superb. Cheers to them and Les.

Nice staff, nice coffee but seemed a bit soulless like it was missing that wow factor. Couldn't relax as there was a hyperactive dog in there barking its head off, with the exception of guide dogs I don't see why people feel the need to bring them inside bars and why so many places in the UK have started to advertise Dog Friendly. I was a bit scared to be honest. Then 2 more lively but friendly dogs came in and the waitress let them jump on her and stroke them with the same hands she's serving with , lovely

Had driven past the bar several times and finally decided to give it a go. From the outside I was expecting to walk into a cool uplifting vibe but instead was greeted with a generally empty feel accompanied with some poor lonely person singing random cover songs. ( this was a Friday btw not a Tuesday!!) Birkdale and even Ainsdale have the right idea , very much an uplifting vibe and if you're not into that ,plenty of choice. Formby .........nowhere to have a boogie. Very Boring , very middle aged. Sorry......

Nice visit, we often go for coffees here or the occasional drink. They’ve recently started doing panini and a coffee for £5 my wife and her mother had one. Wife said it was okay and mother in law said it was a little bland but for £5 including a coffee personally I wouldn’t expect too much. It offers great value for money on drinks & the paninis so still well worth a 5 star review. IMO

Joined my son and daughter in law for a drink here. Only there for about an hour. The wine choice was quite good and the bar staff very friendly. Novel to sit in the old vault. WILL NOT BE RETURNING ! The door staff are rude and abusive and most definitely well overly aggressive. They are supposed to be there to make you feel safe , not to try the start a fight! If you continue to use them , it will adversely affect your business !

This is a lovely big space, nicely done, also with a platform for live music which is always good. Unfortunately, when we visited we left after one drink because the music that was playing (not live) was awful. Maybe when it's quiet during the week it would be better to have something more chilled playing, rather than something that only appeals to 14 year olds. Cater to the people who'll be spending the money and maybe this bar will be one of the few that survives in Formby.

Really good addition to the Bars in Formby. Don't know where it is? Well, that would be the old Barclays on the corner. A nice independent place, with a really great team running it, along with staff, who have a great attitude, who want you served happy and enjoying your time with them. Lux37 comes with nice decor, well laid out seating all with a good vibe. The choice of Beers & Cocktails is really good. Don't drink? The good people at Lux37 have that sorted, with Coffee you'll just love. Want an extra shot in that, then just ask. Just remember, if they are busy or you have to wait a couple of minutes please remember to bear with them, they are only people doing their best. They shall get to you as soon as they can. *I am just a customer who lives in Formby who has no interest in the Company, other than wishing them well on their entry to the Formby Village Community.

Great food and drink from evening visits, however the only issue I have is that whenever I visit at 9am for breakfast, the kitchen is always closed and doesn't open till after 9:30 - 10am. Even though it states 9am on everything else. If they could sort the kitchen side of things out it would be a great addition to college road, Crosby.

My friend and I meet up for lunch about 3 or 4 times a year and this is usually where we go. This time was extremely disappointing, though. For 1pm on a weekday afternoon, the place was surprisingly empty and very quiet. The food here has been consistently good in the past, with decent sized portions but was a total let down on this occasion. The lasagne was very sloppy and very, very, greasy. The meat was of very low quality and contained a lot of gristle. It was so disgusting that I left a fair amount. Usually, a member of staff visits the table during your meal to see if everything is ok. This time, this did not happen. When the dishes were collected, we were then asked if everything was ok. I said about the lasagne being dreadful and pointed out the gristle I'd left at the side. I was told that I should've said something earlier. I don't even recall an apology. Usually, I'd be asked if I wanted something else instead, but that didn't happen either. I decided to try a lovely sounding and looking dessert. Now, I know that you don't usually get huge portions, but over £5 for a tiny sliver?! It also tasted decidedly underwhelming. As I said, this was our usual haunt for our lunch meets, but if the next time is as bad as this time, we'll be looking for somewhere new.
