Was enjoying our evening been for meal at local restaurant and put our half bottle of red wine on table outside on arches table . Ordered drinks including two glasses of red bouncer decided to accuse us of drinking our own wine even though we had told him it was from local Thai opposite and we had purchased wine from them . So our glasses of red was purchased from arches . Ive never felt so ashamed for sticking up for myself. The sp called security on the 21 june 2024

Only been to The Arches a couple of times and both of those were in the day, so can't comment on atmosphere or vibe. As you'll see from a lot of the reviews, the location is great, particularly in the Summer when you can sit outside and the Severn ebb and flow. Arches is a compact little pub with a quirky interior and a music themed ceiling. There's a darts board and a fruit machine, plus a couple of TV's showing live sport. Plenty of pubs to choose from in Bewdley, but the Arches is worth a pint or two.

Arches is the friendliest venue pub/bar around, with a lively vibe that's hard to beat. Right by the river, it's got a cracking view inside and out and a buzzing atmosphere. The music is top-notch, with live DJs and artists every week, and the party keeps going until 1 am every weekend. Plus, they've got a wide range of drinks to choose from, all very good value! If you fancy catching a game, they've got big screens showing sports, adding to the laid-back yet exciting atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a good time, blending great tunes, a fantastic setting, refreshing drinks, and sports action for a night out you won't forget.

The bouncer at arches this friday the one that’s been there a long time, not sure how he hasn’t been fired but the abuse that comes out his mouth is absurd asking people for fights off camera and racist slurs out his mouth don’t recommend this place heard a lot of bad things about him and the way he treats people he has been reported to the police for his behaviour.

So disappointed with the one particular barmaid this evening. Attitude. So unprofessional. No please thank you. Slammed my drink on the bar. Get rid. Normally nice staff. Is it under new management? As Alan would not stand for this service to his customers.

Most of the staff were great. The minorities let the place down. Im not a big drinker but to be around drunk people and watch the staff and bouncers intimidate and speak down to (with no manors and pure attitude) was not the correct way to deal with someone sat on a stool. “Get off the stool now, they’re put away for a reason” was in my opinion asking for escalation and a problem could of occurred. If they are unable to employ educated, polite staff in an establishment where alcohol is served where people are likely to become intoxicated.. there is the reason why trouble may occur. Maybe without the attitude and total disrespect there could be no need for bouncers? Employ polite staff (maybe not kids with attitude) and then they may save some money in hiring bouncers on a power trip? Not a good invite for future visits. Wouldn’t recommend and not looking to return. Some staff were great and very polite. Shame those that weren’t are the reason why this place will be memorable. Worst bar I have visited for a very long time. Save your money here and support other local businesses in Bewdley.

Did not go inside the Arches bar, we sat outside by the river Severn. My husband tells me the beer was good and so was the service. We did not eat here, so can't really say what the food is like. Plenty of parking in Bewdley, but none by the pub.

I went out with a group of friends and one had a walking aid after an accident. Appallingly, my friend was declined access and all friends were allowed to enter the premises. We explained what had happened and the option proposed was to drink outside with the friend who was unable to. The Equality Act 2010 encourages places of business to adapt settings for visitors, and in this case crutches, something that is easily changeable. Please appreciate this feedback as someone who may need further assistance may need help

Was having a good night up until the DJ suddenly decided that one of our group was to drunk to read the words on the screen something that was clearly untrue, seemed like he wanted to be the star of the show and only have his mates up and singing very disappointing considering they were more than happy to have us in there waiting for our song to come up and put money behind the bar

I'm writing this review on behalf of my disabled friend Scott, whose been a regular since the first day he stepped inside Arches, with his Dad, Tom, & was welcomed with a friendly smile, a great atmosphere, & a good pint of lager. He tells me the owners have always looked after him very well, especially since Tom passed away a couple of years ago, taking him with them, on a trip to Blackpool & giving him free hair cuts, in the nearby Archer's barbers. Scott's still in lockdown at present, says he's missing you all & is really looking forward to going to Archers again, as he wouldn't drink anywhere else, as 'ARCHES REALLY IS THE BEST!' With one of the greatest views, in one of the nicest towns, it's definitely worth the going.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was brilliant. My wife and I had been on holiday in the area for a week and this was the best food and service we experienced the entire time. My wife had a jacket potato with coleslaw, I had a chilli chicken flat bread, and we shared some fries. The potato was excellent, crispy skin, fluffy inside. My flat bread was delicious. The salad garnish was brilliant. Fresh and really tasty. All of it was very good value. Eventhough we only ordered light bites, the quality was exceptional. All the staff were really friendly. We will definitely return as soon as we are back in the area. We didn't not stay in any of their rooms but have had to give it 5stars so that it doesn't bring the score down on what was a perfect dining experience.

Some young girl early teens I'd say, sat outside the cafe, gave my mum a good horrible eyeing up and down and I mean a very good looking up and down just staring at her for no reason as we were crossing the road, I stared back at her then she looked at me, I should have poured her drink all over her or mine I was carrying tbh. How dare she. If that's how you bring up your children I put shame on you also.

First time at this particular branch. Very welcoming, quick, and efficient service. Warm welcome by the staff. Used my birthday treat reward and was wished happy birthday by the barista. Very clean & tidy, with no used crockery or glasses cluttering up the tables. There is plenty of seating available inside and out and no wobbly tables for once. Highly recommend this branch, and there are lessons other branches could learn from this superbly run Costa. Well done, all involved. Will definitely be coming back.
