Slinky's in Wirral

Had a coffee and a piece of cake, nice place, great service, and decent prices

It's rare for me to leave a poor review but I feel I have to here. When we ordered drinks and food, the payment terminal was one of those that asked for a tip up front. This was optional but we left 10%, then spent the next 40 minutes regretting it while we waited for food (just a bagel and a soup). The drinks were prompt but were long finished by the time the food came. The place was not busy at all and I think the kitchen person was late, but there was no mention of this when we ordered. Lesson learned - never pay for service in advance. To be fair, the bagel was excellent when it did eventually arrive.

Gorgeous coffee and biscoff cake. Great service and lovely atmosphere

Good service, allowed to try wine first. Pleasant place for a drink sat on sofa.

Had a few drinks sat outside, nice relaxing atmosphere & the dog like it, he had a rest while I had a Guinness 👍

We ventured into Slinkys with our granddaughters and were made a fuss of and even our dog was spoilt! We had delicious carrot cake and coffee, the girls were on the nourishing smoothies. We’ll definitely be back soon. Alan and Anne

It was disappointing to go in before closing and be told it was quiet, so we shut the bar early.

Popped in for a late evening snifter on the way home. Delightful.

Such a different vibe, unique and welcoming

We have family over from America and after a little tour called in for lunch. Staff very friendly food cooked fresh very tasty and very clean and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.Dog friendly

Ran out of bread, loads not on the menu. Had to ask for cutlery !

Popped in for a coffee,nice place

If you have dogs, and you love a place without judgemental vibes when you are new to the community. This is the bar where you should visit.

great location, however did notice the negative and tense atmosphere from the guy who I believe to be the owner of the place

Music a bit on the loud side and condensation on the windows need addressing

Very cool spot. Friendly and great value for money. The barman was a treat

Food excellent quality, service was very good but rather slow to deliver. However I would go there again anyway!!

Gorgeous little place, very warming,staff friendly

No idea, news year's day. Business very busy and took to long to be served. Lady next to me who I thought was before me, had been served but had been waiting 15 minutes for her take out coffee.

Seems the staff can't cope with the number of customers or mismanagement. Three attempts to get our drinks order correct, staff bringing over other tables drink orders. Prices were okay and the place had a good atmosphere though, shame about the service, hence 2 stars.

Great little bar and cafe. Visited about lunch for a coffee and cake. Staff we're very friendly and quite happy to talk about the history of the place. Looking forward to trying the bar of an evening.

Popped in to try a new place, got soup, chicken pie and 2 small bottles of coke, spent £13.Food was poor for the price and guess the place is more catered for night time clientele aka bar vibe. Must try harder before we return in relation to other places within locale

Great little bar. Live music playing on the night I was there. Gary Murphy and friends were fantastic. Only really snacks available in the evening. Guinness zero available as well as other non alcoholic beers. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a great return to Slinky's, great non alcoholic stuff. Really lovely staff. Only thing was the bar snacks in jars are stale. (They're missing seals) Otherwise amazing and welcome back!

Very crowded when visited in the evening. Looks to be a popular venue

The best chocolate tiffin I've ever tasted 🙂 Nice atmosphere and comfortable chill out place.

Sarah & Marv make the Slinky’s experience that little bit extra special. Sarah with her warm smile and Marv who makes the most delicious coffees as well as both poring the best pint of Poretti. Would definitely recommend 👍

Only good thing I can say about this place was the friendliness of (most of) the staff. Most things on the menu items had run out and the baked goods were dry and stale. The toilet seat was coming off the bowl in one bathroom and the disabled toilet was filled with so much stuff that it was unusable. The servers working there were great but there was a man (presumably the boss) speaking very rudely to them and raising his voice while there were customers around. It was fairly uncomfortable to be in there so I won’t be visiting it again.

We have visited your bar a few times and really enjoyed the vibe. However last night (Sunday) we visited with friends for a pre dinner drink. My friend is in a wheel chair and when tried to use the disabled toilet we had to empty a hoover and high chair from it before he could access the toilet. Then one of the bar staff put the items back in. So again we had to remove them so he could use the toilet. We hope you will seek to resolve this issue as otherwise it's a place we like to have a drink when in West Kirby.

Rude manager/owner, only cares about making money and not customer experience. Avoid if you want a nice atmosphere to relax, have a coffee and get some work done. Your custom isn’t wanted.

Popped in for a quick brew post dog walk. Friendly environment and so much better now bar relocated!

Great place to meet up for drinks and food.

Excellent revamp and coffee still good.

Great little bar, friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks & food & they also had the footy on the Tv!! They also allow dogs in which is a plus in my book ❤️

Slinkys Bar in West Kirby is like a slinky itself – it starts at the top and just keeps going! The drinks flowed more smoothly than a slinky down the stairs, and the atmosphere was bouncier than its iconic springiness. I had so much fun that I felt like I was on a slinky-powered roller coaster of good times. It's the only place where you can enjoy your drink while imagining it doing a slinky descent into your stomach. Five stars for a spiraling good time!

Great atmosphere! Good to have it back in west kirby

Great that Slinky's is back. Good selection of beer, wine and other drinks. The old team of yesteryear had customer service to perfection. Maybe the new team will get there with practice.

We only have a coffee and cake very nice friendly staff, well worth a visit.

Slinkys in the process of having an overhaul to become a real ale venue - look forward to seeing a new venue in West kirby

Went for a drink with a small group of friends. Red wine by the bottle at a reasonable price, comfortable seats and a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Nibbles were supplied from time to time. All very nice.

Slinky’s in West Kirby is an intriguing mixture of clientele, which adds to its charm. It’s usually busy, which makes seating a challenge, although in better weather, there are additional seats outside. One thing that really lets them down is the smoking. As you leave the bar, you are forced to walk through a cloud of smoke, which isn’t very nice, or even healthy.

Have only ever visited for drinks, much improved atmosphere when there is a band on otherwise it can be a little flat. Good 2 for £10 offer on cocktails which is rare in WK

Great value lunch deal. good quality food,friendly service, good price.would recommend.

Lovely little cafe/bar. Does breakfast, lunch & dinner. We went for a mid morning coffee & cake during the week. Staff friendly & helpful.

Coffee is delicious and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, the ambience is lovely and you can take a well behaved dog in, what's there not to like!!!

Good place to grab a beer in the summer

One of the best café bars in the area.

Unique decor...love the hand-painted wall murals. Good beer and a memorable visit. It's a must-see!

Nice spot, friendly staff and good value food and drinks.

Had home made soup and a sandwich beautiful had a hot chocolate it was to die for and the price was good would highly recommend it

When out in West Kirby I always have a quick few here. Great little bar with friendly service.I haven't eaten yet but the food that comes out always looks great! Nice cold pint of Estrella too!!

Food excellent not expensive hot chocolate to die for

Very poor service on last two occasions.

Quaint little cafe with interesting decor and comfy seating. Good food on offer too. Sadly staff seem disorganised and lengthy delays and unable to deliver coffee and cake within 40 mins and the forgot the cake. Shame so easily rectified.

We had the big breakfast, not too much food on the plate, just right and nicely presented.

We absolutely love this bar situated towards the middle of Banks Road. Staff are friendly, efficient, and welcoming and the drinks and food are very fairly priced. It attracts people of all ages and backgrounds and is great to visit at any time whether for breakfast, lunch, or drinks. It has stood the test of time and it is easy to see why.

Great little cafe/bar. Lovely atmosphere and staff and a great selection of drinks. Good menu too.

used for breakfast, coffee break,and afternoon tea stop. used two other restaurants in bank street, both dearer and not as good as Slinkys. the staff are great and so friendly the food and drink so good. Had to try a scouse, was not disappointed. Toilets fine, the eating area felt just right. free wi fi.

Tonight, Wednesday was quiz night. Most seats taken, all ages, good atmosphere, decent coffee, friendly staff, you’ve got to have a Slinky’s now and again.

Been a few times for a quick bite and drink. Called in today (9th Oct) for lunch snack/drink. Checked the menu and I settled for the Italian deli ciabatta and my wife chose the blue cheese and mushroom ciabatta both served with a salad and a small bowl of coleslaw. We both really enjoyed them and would certainly recommend a worthwhile visit to anyone visiting West Kirby.

Great place to chill out , meet friends small bite to eat few beers and or cocktails, a bit of live music some evenings. Comfy chairs to relax in outsid tables.

This little hidden gem is a friendly and sociable place to unwind, it has a soothing atmosphere with live music...

I went in for a tea and bacon sandwich after a session at the gym.

Sunday night drinks very chilled and cosy atmosphere

Amigos conocimos aquí para el almuerzo del viernes. Sábado dentro como todas las mesas de afuera estaban ocupados. Todas las mesas para 4 personas tenían sofás o sillas bajas, que siempre es un poco difícil cuando planeábamos comer, preciosa, aunque si estás planeando un café y una charla o leer.

Having eaten here several times and not had a bad meal , I am happy to recommend their limited menu- the present offer of home made soup and a sandwich for under £5 is especially good value

Outside table in the fresh air, and a simple but well presented couple of sandwiches - bags of filling, and nachos/dips to compliment. Would recommend, and will visit again. Enjoyed the chat about where the new red plant should go!!!

Awesome Sri Lankan Prawn Curry. Would certianly recommend this place. Atmosphere was also relaxed and friendly

The new owner having brought in a Mixologist a couple of weeks ago to do staff training on cocktails due to a poor review post on here I have very happy to say that the new range is fantastic. Obviously the normal range is offered but the old favourites such as Bloody Mary's and Long Islands are on offer but the Lynchburg Lemonade is currently going down well!

Popped in for a quick afternoon bite whilst on the hoof. The wife and I split a Hunter's chicken ciabatta and Welsh Rarebit between us. Staff were friendly & helpful but salad (basically lettuce) was slightly wilted and gone brown around the edges and all you could taste in the Rarebit was cheap strong flavoured cheese. Ultra thinly sliced crispy mushrooms were nice though. Thought staff working in a food establishments should at least wear long hair up if not in nets.

Went here last night and sat with friends in a front window with drinks when about 8.50 a member of staff came across and asked us to move as table was reserved for 9 and the people were standing at the bar. There was no reserved sign on the table so we said ok and thought we could at least finish our drinks but 5 minutes later she was over asking us to move so we had to get up and go with drinks in our hands. If a table is reserved for gods sake put a sign on it and at least let people finish their drinks. Rude lady and wasn't happy.

although Slinkys is only small it has a big heart . It's location on banks road makes it on our little walking route .We have been infrequent visitors in the past but following a bit of a recent freshen up we have started popping in both in the afternoons and the odd evening .the staff are generally very good and Slinkys offers a good range of premier drinks both hot and of course cold . the place is bursting with character and offers seating outside under heaters for the brave ones of us , we haven't tried the food there yet but will give it a go soon , cheers

We made reservation and had great food - so fresh and great portions ... best chili and chunky garlic ever!

Stopped in for a well earned drink after walking to Hilbre. Lovely atmosphere in s popular little place. We had a mix of soft drinks, hot drinks and alcohol but all were just perfect.

Been here before for a few drinks after going out for dinner. Love the chilled out vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Staff great. However, avoid the cocktails.... daiquiri was white rum and lime cordial poured over ice. Not nice!

Great little bar/restaurant. Always a good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Also a great little outside area with an edge!

Went in here for lunch after going for a walk through west kirby. My partners food was fine, he had a prawn linguine and enjoyed it. I was not fussed on my steak ciabatta, I found it a little tough and dry to eat. Didn't feel it was worth the money. The place seemed nice enough and the staff were friendly and attentive. I would probably give it another go and try something else off the menu or go for a drink in the evening.

Great staff, good service, tasty food 😀

Visited Slinky's for a light bite and a coffee on Friday lunch time after a walk around West Kirby. Staff were really nice and helpful. I ordered a sausage, bacon and egg sandwich and even though they had run out of freshly prepped items they were very happy to make me the sandwich from scratch when most other places would have just said they'd run out completely. Really recommend for just a quick bite and a coffee! Not too far to get to either

lovely clean wine bar whoever the cleaner is they know their job, went to another bar in West Kirby and it was so dirty awful 10/10 x

Really like the atmosphere and the staff here. Food is always good too, nothing too adventurous but enough on the menu to satisfy.

We love coming here for drinks either on a Saturday afternoon or in the evening. It is now under new management but it still retains its old charm and the staff are friendly and helpful. There is always a nice ambience here. Haven't tried the food here for a while but they seem to have lots of tasty-looking specials on the board when we walk past so might need to try them again soon!

Nice environment, friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices.

Cosy local cafe, which serves great food and hot chocolate

Went to have lunch with my sister and partner today and have a mixed review. Really like the front of house as the decor is relaxed and the atmosphere is lovely. The back looks a little more unkept and feels not as warm but still there are comfortable seats.We where greeted really quickly and politely, and our order was taken quickly. The only issues where when it came back that my order of brie, bacon and cranberry would have to be without the cranberry because they had run out. This does frustrate me because it should have been mentioned when I ordered!! The other problem was my partner clearly ordered a toastie and his came as a plain sandwich. This was rectified quickly, and again isn't a huge problem but could have been solved by listening properly to the order.I do need to say the food in Slinkys is delicious. I mean, really generously portioned and good value for money. My bacon and brie crossaint was just gorgeous despite having no cranberry. We will always come back because the food is so good and despite the mistake the service on the whole is good.

Its like having a bar in your front room at home

Love Slinks, very relaxed and reasonable pricing. Cool decor.

Nice ambient atmosphere with good value and a standard menu of drinks featuring all the classics of this kind of place.

Lovely place small and welcoming they make the most gorgeous G&T the staff were welcoming and friendly

Wide range of spirits here is something that is good to see, me and my friends particularly enjoyed the decor and the ambient lighting. Great for evening drinks

The problem with West Kirby is that you are left with a choice of 17 independents or three chain pubs.Slinky's is one of the two establishments I prefer to go to .... Ok it is closer to my home apart from West Kirby Social Club... The staff and owners are still amazing and the food menu is contemporary and the wines are better than most trade houses!The "Flying Kiwi" is to be recommended Music nights are amazing - it is The Wirral after all.Just done a quiet evening on my own and could not complain about the ambiance and the vibe!

I do enjoy a Slinky's on a Wednesday evening, a great place for a chat, a cappuccino with marshmallows, and if required, a beef chilli and garlic bread. Great bar, great atmosphere, don't tell everyone, it will get crowded.

Young, friendly staff and really good food. Great little find.

Service was average. I had fish cakes which had an overpowering taste of spices and little else and when I sent them back after eating one bite I was still charged! Panini's again very average and overpriced. Certainly would not recommend.

Went with four of my friends last night for after dinner drinks. Great atmosphere, really busy but not so full that you can't move! . All the table's outside were full and it's a great place to sit if you have your pooch with you. Two of my friends had not been before and were fascinated by the fabulous art work on the walls. The staff are so friendly. Highly recommend a night out here!

Looks really nice when you drive past. A bit tired inside with an abundance of "vaping" going on by 'clique' customers. Staff really friendly and attentive. Coffee was reasonable price and tasked good. Free Wi-Fi ran at acceptable speed for general work use.

My girlfriend and I used to stop here all the time and get a Slinkey staker and we have not been here for a little while now but something has changed in that time and not for better. We always came here as we thought it was the best but we have had to go elsewhere for our coffee and snack now and there is so many competing for your business and so much choose from. They need to get back to winning ways.

Slinkys means 'yes, let's go,' it's a great place to end the evening with friends and family, put the world and its issues to right and sort out all political religious issues and have done with them. Classy yet homely, buzzing yet not in your face, comfortable yet natural, Slinkys is to be experienced and great music as well, and great staff and service!

This place never changes great food great prices and fantastic staff, if you haven't been well worth a visit if you have worth returning.

I visit Slinkys regularly for excellent coffee, great food and always a relaxed atmosphere with friendly and welcoming staff.
