Nice wee bar in the town centre. Nicely located. They have recently re introduced the Friday karaoke singing so we we went to check it out. Karaoke was good and each singer got a free shot of their choice after singing.fairly reasonable and game crowd the Friday night we were there.a few hiccups at the start of the karaoke session. But all in all it was a fun night and we really enjoyed it. Will be back again soon and highly recommended place for anyone looking for a night out in Ballymena town

A warm welcome, really friendly staff and a nice selection of drinks in a nicely spaced-out setting, social distancing therefore made easy. The place is covered with fantastic newspaper headlines where each tells a fascinating story of events gone by. Try the Guinness and/or the mocktails. Thoroughly recommended by us, it’s the staff that make it extra-special. Why not try it when you’re next in town? Thank you to The Front Page! 🍻🍷🍹

So excited to finally go here with my daughter but the experience wasn't what I expected. For the prices there is no table service you have to order at the till. I was not advised correctly when asking about the Spanish hot chocolate. It isn't a drink it comes in a bowl for dipping biscuits in. I specifically asked was it like a normal hot chocolate you could drink and was told yes. I ordered coffee and 2 savoury pancakes. Paying by card I was asked to select what tip I wanted to leave. Feeling like I had no option I left one. Then we waited on our food. I had to go and order tea after the "drinks" arrived as the Spanish hot chocolate is not a drink and leave another tip. We waited again and after 35 minutes of waiting I asked for a refund. To be told that the food order hadn't been sent to the kitchen. We didn't have time to wait any longer. When the refund was being done they didn't ask what of your tip you would like refunded. I don't mind paying for service but we didn't get any. Can't review the food as we didn't get any of that. Won't be back. Sometimes best to stick to the places you know.

At Robinsons Costcutter you can always be sure of delicious dishes especially their Pies which are quite expensive for the size but they are well filled unlike Barrs Pies which are very tasty but the meat content is so scant it's like it was smeared on with a knife, these are well filled with high quality beef or chicken.

Impulse stop for lunch, based on a friend's recommendation. Very friendly, cheerful staff... small but varied choice of lunch dishes; both we had were v.good. Prices seemed to reflect the quality of service, food and settings. I'm sure we'll be back! (I've seen advert saying the business is up for sale (Jun 2022)... is that still the case?

Every time we go, we're stunned at the great value for money. The icing on the cake is the friendly owner, who shows she's glad of the business and always make us glad we dropped in.
