Players in Torbay

Staff excellent, very helpful and friendly, Fair range of food & drinks ( including alcohol/cocktails)food has declined in the last year but worth a visit.

Fantastic breakfast and the young lady that served myself and my young son was absolutely amazing a credit to the cafe if we could leave 10stars we would

Cocktails were great. Place was spotless, service was friendly and quick.

Lovely little cafe bar, beautiful cocktails very friendly staff

Live music in a well run bar with great cocktails and beers

Had a wonderful bacon sandwich this morning well cooked and presented

Great staff, great atmosphere. Lovely wine.

Really nice lunch and at a good price too. Players is a really nice place, good decor, nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Terrible overpriced cocktails and a very rude barman who seemed to lack customer service skills. I wont be going there again and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Called in for breakfast and it didn't disappoint! Freshly cooked and everything tasted brilliant, service was great really can't fault it in any way

We had our reception here and Lisa and staff went all out to make our day special. The food was fantastic, we use this place normally for coffee and food .

Fantastic well done thank you for making krn and lins day special

Fab drinks! Great little place. We went before 7pm, and was told it was happy hour - 2 cocktails for £14! Great drinks and a lovely little place. Very clean

It was quiet when we went, late Sunday. Cocktail's a little expensive compared to some but excellent

Cocktails were beautiful and very well presented, lots of variety! The Somersby apple cider was one of the nicest pints I’ve had in a long time, even had to ask the staff if they added anything to it as it was so lovely. Staff were friendly and always happy to help, the place was spotless and had a good atmosphere. Live music in the nights was good and very chilled. Would 100% return and definitely recommend.

Excellent service and good food at great prices, nice and clean. Menu has good prices and cakes on the bar Would recommend

My female friend asked for a glass of water for a girl who was distressed, owner refused to serve her, and when my partner said she was with her and her friends he called my partner a liar, my friend was not drunk, won't be going there again for overpriced cocktails

Simple food, nicely presented. Variety of drinks. Primarily a cocktail bar but nice for a coffee and breakfast.

Fabulous cocktails, wonderful staff and a stones throw away from the sea front ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Terrific live music too!

A lovely place to go for a coffee, allso the food and staff are lovely, can’t recommend this place enough 10/10 try it you won’t be disappointed

Nice place just on the main part of Paignton. Staff friendly and helpful and welcoming and lovely atmosphere.. Lots of various cocktails to choose from, they even made up a cocktail I like not on the menu.. We had pizza 🍕 which was really nice and hot.. Plenty of seating inside and outside. They had a part where can sit with mood lighting loved it.. I would recommend and go again for definite.. Everything was so lovely here

Very nice evening listening to the live music.

We were in Paignton for the day and chose Player's Cocktail Bar for its convenience and outside seating (in the glorious sunshine!) We had coffee which was very good, great service, nice location.

Great Breakfast, extremely good quality ingredients and yet still superb value.

Really nice extensive range of cocktails at £7.50 each or 2 for £12. This price is only during happy hour. Sorry I don't have the times, think it was around 5- 7ish

Lovely cocktail bar and food! Cocktail was well made and not from a bottle. Owners are lovely and service was friendly! Thank you

I went to this bar with a friend and experience dreadful service.The gentleman working seemed to not want to be there.He was constantly on his phone or going outside to smoke.There was no welconing atmosphere and i also found the cocktails served to be very lacking.Very disapointed as i had never been there before and was expecting better.

Decent coffee, great service and fantastic venue… what else do you need!? Reasonably priced to boot. Well done, well deserved!

Really nice and the staff so friendly and welcoming and the cocktails are amazing first time I been here all the years I being coming to Paignton I would really recommend to all my friends and family who come here on holiday

Nice staff and location, make some really good drinks for the price. Old Fashioned tastes perfect here.

This bar is in the centre of paighton . The cocktails are strong and good. Pornstar martini was amazing and also the salero cocktail was good . They have live music and outside seating area . Must mention the staff who served us were Olivia Cherry Ryan and Pablo. Great service and friendly.

Awesome little place and the best margarita we have had in a long time. Lovely lady and lively young girl helper too !

Very friendly place, staff are lovely & the cocktails are the closest in strength that ice found in the UK to those you get abroad. 😀

Just found this recently opened bar. Good range of cocktails and well made. Staff friendly and polite .

Really nice place ! tasty food, friendly service and very good coffee ... prices quite low. I highly recommend this place !

Based only on a short visit - few cocktails at the end of the evening. Lovely little place, and quite a good selection of cocktails (not badly priced). Polite, attentive staff (a bit too loud music for my liking), and a tv if somebody follows footbal :)

Nice clean cocktail bar located on Torbay Road. Reasonably priced with a good range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails on offer, as well as wine and gin offerings. Pleasant young team behind the bar, with a more modern ambience to some cocktail bars. Would definitely recommend popping in if you fancy a slightly different tipple to a pint.

Staff said they couldn't make us a coffee to go as they had lots of orders to do! Went next door.....

I meet a couple friends here about once a month, always looks clean and tidy inside, staff very friendly and the manager who is lively to chat with, coffee is good, nice strong taste. 😁

Nice service & allow dogs outfront & nice coffee

Great service Great coffee Great food what else can I say use it a lot

Lovely staff with a delightful atmosphere - Great selection of drinks too!

What a lovely friendly cafe first class service and spotless toilets !! Very much will be returning for some more excellent coffee

Amazing cocktails, especially the espresso martini. Would definitely recommend. Friendly stay and relaxing atmosphere.

What with all the rain on Sunday we thought would treat ourselves to a cocktail. Well Im not sure what you would call this! Its meant to be an expresso martini! My pick of all cocktails at £7.50 i was expecting a lovepy one. It was absolutely dreadful. Just a black coffee with a disgusting taste. Obviously i refused to pay and the score of 1 is for the way the bar girl handled it she dudnt argue at all. Good customer relationship. We paid for Husbands licquer coffee but he could only drink half of it. I can only imagine that the cocktail majer was having a day off! We were off to see james bond and this mqrtini was def not shaken and def not stirred! We wont be going back

Great little cocktail bar, good selection, good prices, lovely staff. Would definitely recommend.

Great cocktail bar, lovely staff.

Very busy cocktail bar with great Atmosphere 👍

Just wanted a pot of tea but had a nice scone, jam and clotted cream served by a very chirpy French gentleman making for a very pleasant refreshing break. Excellent!

Had a really pleasant happy hour....

Cocktails 2 for £12. Food available. Little wait as short staffed as is most plases at the moment.

very nice cocktail bar, very pleasant staff, food was nice also well worth a visit, great selection of wines, Beers and cocktails

Come to players for the first time for lunch whilst on holiday. It was relatively quiet on the Saturday afternoon we went, we ordered a Panini and a milkshake. The food was delicious! Will definitely return in September!

Excellent service. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food lovely and cocktails very nice with good variety. spotlessly clean inside

First evening of holiday, early July, everywhere busy and booked up, was struggling to find someone still serving food. Came across Players, very busy outside with drinkers, didn't see anyone eating but nice waiter assured us they were still cooking.Lovely chap made us the best pizza's we have had in ages. We had a cocktail and a beer too. Very nice evening. Think owner must have been sat in the window drinking with friends, he kept telling the waitresses what to do, maybe help them in future when it's so busy?

Can not fault to food or the service 10/10

I've gotten quicker drinks from the salvation army.

Was given a free drink for my 40th….problem is I was 37 when I entered. Seriously tho told it was 2 for 12 quid and not aloud to order two and then waited over an hour for a pornstar martini…they totally recommend lol

Popped in on our walk for a quick cocktail, staff were very friendly and the cocktails were amazing! Relaxed atmosphere and no pressure to have food. Would recommend a visit here!

Fabulous cocktail bar. Friendly, accommodating staff. And the cocktails are to die for. Highly recommended

Good cocktails & wonderful friendly service highly recommended

Amazing cocktails with great customer service! Tasty pizza, recommend long island & purple rain- my personal favourites 5 🌟

we came here every night while in town. cocktails here are outstanding. also had the pizza which is gorgeous. really friendly and lovely staff. the place to be! thanks everyone

Amazing little place. Lovely staff ,fabulous cocktails and the pizzas are just lovely very well priced and extremely clean

Friendly staff good food & service , would recommend

Only wanted a coffee and the staff were more than happy to sort us out.

We first popped in to players on the 2nd July to celebrate my 23rd birthday. Didn’t expect much and it only really stood out because it was the best looking place in Paignton for a “fancier” drink. Well, one visit and we were hooked. The night was fabulous, drinks are great and the staff are wonderful! The drinks are a tad pricey, but as city folk they were actually super reasonable for the flavour, quantity and quality. I 100% recommend the Solero if you like something tropical! My partner recommends the purple rain. We loved the night so much we booked a dinner table for 4th July. Well this was the best choice all holiday. We both had pizza (a margherita for me and the meat feast for my partner) and when I tell you this was the best pizza ever… I am not exaggerating. My partner looked at me with a sheer delight in his eyes that I haven’t ever seen before as he told me how this was the best pizza he ever tasted. Again, the staff were perfect; even checking with us about adding extra cheese to make the pizza taste even better. Even though they were busy, we were served with care and attention which was lovely. Even though the Facebook page states they’re closed on a Monday, we took a gamble and walked past tonight (6th July) and YES! Thank you for being open!!! Again, we had a lovely selection of cocktails with 5* service. The staff remembered us (I mean we’d barely spent anytime anywhere else this holiday…) and we felt so at home; even so far away from home. So thanks guys, we CANNOT WAIT to come back… my only improvement would be that you figure out a way to post us pizza and cocktails to Birmingham

Good atmosphere and very comfortable place

Good choice of drinks. Not too expensive.

Sandwiches amazing fresh an tasty value for money good help from staff

We have just spent a day in players after stopping by for one cocktail. I have to say this establishment provides by far the BEST cocktails I have ever consumed, bearing in mind I’ve traveled some. Better than that, Eric the host, provides an outstanding experience, one we shall never forget and always will be grateful for. Don’t get me wrong it’s not the cheapest, but if you’re happy to get what you pay for you will not be disappointed. The cocktails were expertly made and tasted Devine, we sampled about 7 cocktails and I would genuinely struggle to pick a favourite. The strawberry daiquiri and Long Island iced tea are especially strong and delicious. We will return to Paignton just for a day of cocktails, ty Eric and staff. P.s probably the best home made pizza outside of Italy xx

Stumbled upon Player's by accident during a five-night stay in Paignton. Lovely little place. Best crab sandwiches I've tasted. So tasty we dined there twice. Cracking cocktails as well. Nice atmosphere and surroundings. A small establishment which made it feel cosy and welcoming. Professional, friendly, attentive staff as well. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in the area.

First class service. Gorgeous cocktails. Excellent service from both waitresses and the barman. Excellent food too. Faultless. Would highly recommend. 👏

Visited this bar 3 times whilst on our holiday in Paignton as the food was so good, fresh produce, freshly prepared. Staff couldn't do enough for you especially the lovely chef who looked and sounded like Fred Sirieix. Great atmosphere, great meal, great experience

So disappointing! Service was alright but food so plain and dry. Maybe alright for cocktails. Just make sure they will explain menu properly cause you might get some extra ingredients in your meals which you didn’t expect.

Had such a lovley family evening meal at players tonight. Delicious cocktails which were on offer and we all loved our food (particularly the mixed sea food salad). Staff were so friendly and helpful. Gutted we are going home tomorrow as would deffo visit again.

Genuinley, they made us feel really welcome and special there. We had loads of yummy cocktails as we worked through the majority of their menu and also through together some off menu ones after the figured out what kind of cocktails we liked. We only planned to go their one night and ended up going every night after we tried it. Do not miss out.

We stumbled on this place by chance and it became our home from home. Only wanted a cappuccino the first day but that in itself was a lovely experience. Thought we would try in the evenings and though a touch expensive the gins and cocktails we had over the week were lovely. The staff are a cut above in being attentive but not intrusive but very friendly. The food we had was also very nice.

Great friendly atmosphere and very knowledgeable bar staff . Outstanding range of gins and cocktails 🍸 definitely recommend this place and look forward to revisiting here .

Super friendly server. Very attentive

We were staying just a few minutes around the corner from Players so ended up having drinks there a few times. We liked the fact we could sit outside, but undercover and watch the world go by. They had a good selection of cocktails, and having tried several, we found them all yummy! They also had a long Happy Hour each day which was 2 cocktails for £12. What is not to like?! Staff were also very friendly and efficient.

Best cocktail bar in Torbay. Quality ingredients. Great staff and ambience. Coffee and cake ..yum !!!!

Stopped in on Saturday evening for some cocktails, this place is brilliant! We sat outside and the table service was prompt. We had a margarita and long Island iced tea to start, then two more margaritas. The staff were friendly and efficient and we would certainly recommend this place and definitely return if in the area. Thank you for a great experience!

What a great place to relax, enjoy a coffee, pint or cocktail. The staff are so friendly, obliging and efficient with the service, always a pleasure to visit.

We went to two cocktail bars whilst we stayed in Paignton and this is by far the best! Friendly, quick service and very welcoming. Top quality cocktails 🙌

Lovely,welcoming cafe/bar.Great coffee and teacakes ,great value.Very friendly staff.

A group of us ranging in age from 38 to 81 meet here dail for Coffee. They serve the best Coffee in town and the staff are fabulous Wouldnt go anywhere else.

Probably the classiest place to get a drink on the main road in Paignton. Friendly staff, stylish decor, good range of cocktails and huge range of gins. Some outside seating. If it had been open every night of the week we’d have probably ended up here every night of our stay, but alas It is not.

What a smashing place food is tasty but the main reason I go is for the 30 different cocktails on sale and gins I am on holiday and i love it staff are lovely especially the young girl that services she is an absolute star very friendly lovely girl well worth a visit if you like cocktails

Really nice cocktails, good atmosphere

Visited for afternoon coffee and delicious scones. Such a friendly place and staff went out of their way to really make you feel welcome. Great customer service. Thank you

Stopped here with our granddaughters by chance as there was an outside table available. What a lucky break,we enjoyed a delicious cream tea, fabulous scones! On our next visit the lovely waiter/ barman ( David ) remembered us and what we had ordered. This place is spotlessly clean and we were treated like royalty. We visited several times during our 10 days stay in Paignton and enjoyed several snacks ie toasted sandwiches, pizzas and scones all delicious. And all served by the lovely David.

Very relaxed no booming music.will go again

This is a really great place to eat and drink. It is dog friendly and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Players.

Great cocktails and really friendly staff, just a all round great place

Thought we'd try this place out as it's a fairly new bar in Paignton. The service was exceptional, prices beyond reasonable and atmosphere was pleasant. I'd consider it the best cocktail bar in Paignton when everything is considered.

We pooped in here after a hectic day and evening at BMAD I was really impressed with the smart Bar really friendly staff and great service It’s a small quieter bar but not crowded with a number of good tables to sit at. It’s great for a chat with friends and of course a cheeky cocktail This is a bar we will return to

We stopped here for a cocktail on our way out for a meal. Excellent drinks selection, and really friendly and helpful staff. Inside is bright and nicely lit. Great little bar.

The service is fantastic, the crowd it attracts is always a good laugh and a definite must go to if visiting paignton. The coffee is good and cocktails are even better
