As a solo traveller it's always a struggle. I was given a table straight away but then after 15mins of being ignored I left. Just poor not even offered the chance to order a drink.

Booked here for dinner while on holiday and when we arrived our table was not reserved, the pub was full of people watching the football and the staff were most unhelpful. They said they would sort out a table in the middle of the football spectators, but they seemed amused that they had no table reserved for us. We left and will not return. Extremely disappointed given that we had to wait for 'approval' for our requested reservation when we booked online. Total shambles!

Food was ok but service disappointing. Waitresses didn’t smile once. We felt like we were a nuisance. One waitress told us to sit in in one seat then another stopped us and sent us to a different one that resulted in bad feelings between the 2 waitresses that we wore the brunt of. Had we not been tired and hungry we would have walked out. The service never improved and regrets not leaving.

I have been here before a few years ago on a dark winter evening. It has a choice of three local real ales. Ric "The Hat" told me to order one of my all time favourites, Loweswater Gold. A superb golden ale. A modern one room bar on the main road near the bus interchange. Surprisingly generous toilet facilities. Good choice in music. Check opening times as this is a bar rather than a pub. Not the cheapest in town. They do serve food. Like the simple interior. Has a TV so probably show sports? Stayed to try the Barngates.

We’ve been here before and loved it. Unfortunately this time when I specifically told the server ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL in ANY FOOD” (and told her it would result in a migraine) somehow there must have been a miscommunication- either the chef didn’t read it or maybe the server didn’t write it down legibly IDK. But I got a migraine. Prior to coming to the restaurant I felt great. I ordered my food carefully and definitely said “no alcohol.”I always say that at every restaurant- all in an effort to avoid migraines. In a country that makes such an effort to accommodate restaurant customer’s’ dietary restrictions, it saddens me that the chefs at the Lily couldn’t follow this one request. And to all the chefs who might read this, for some people who can’t consume alcohol at all, it DOES NOT BURN OFF ALL THE WAY in the cooking process. The only way you don’t get a migraine from alcohol is you ZDO NOT CONSUME IT AT ALL,EVER. If you’ve experienced severe migraines before you will understand why I will never go back to this restaurant again.

Spending a few days in Ambleside and this venue was near our guest house. Had a great local vibe, good atmosphere, nice music playing and friendly staff. They offer an early bird dinner special with a discount on 1-3 courses and this was perfect for us after spending a long day out touring the lakes. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the risotto and the chicken, ham and leek pie, and our profiteroles dessert were simply beautiful! . Special mention of ‘Natasha’ who demonstrates exceptional customer service, so friendly and efficient, she really added to our positive experience at The Lily Bar, Ambleside.

Really great place this, we stopped for drinks twice and food once during our week in Ambleside. The food was terrific, with the burger truly one of the best I've tasted. 👌 It was perfect after coming off the fells. Kids enjoyed thier portions which I didn't even think they did a kids menu so that was another bonus. Great service as well including making sure we were aware of live music times as we had the kids with us. On top was the beer - had Loweswater Gold each time, check out the picture for how good that was.

In short, I spent hours looking for the right place to celebrate our anniversary and I was absolutely disgusted with the service! We turned up to an absolute yob filled pub providing the after party to a football club, in which they did not even reserve our table. They had to go over to a group to try and remove them from the table. Absolutely unrepresentative of what I saw online. Ran by children. We decided to walk away from our reservation and subsequently left with limited options of where to dine in busy Saturday night in Ambleside.

Fish and chips was excellent, crispy batter on succulent haddock with plenty of chips and mushy peas. The mussel starter was delicious and huge, big enough to share and the king prawns were also tasty in their shells. We couldn't fit dessert in but I'm guessing they will be good too. Easy recommendation.

Food here was as fantastic as reviews led us to expect. Friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. The greek mezze starter and profiteroles are particularly recommended, and they do one of the best espresso martinis around.

Only putting one star because it is required in order to leave a review. Otherwise, personally it would be minus stars if possible. I ordered two passionfruit martinis at the bar at £20. The ‘bar maid’ with the black and blonde hair, gave us stale martinis that had been sitting there a while. I asked for FRESH cocktails at £20. She pretty much rolled her eyes and gave us orange juice in a fancy glass. Even turned the singers microphone off before he finished his set. Now, considering I have been going to this bar for years and now live here… this one specific staff member has put me, my family, friends and all visitors of mine off from visiting… the Lily Bar is currently missing out on potentially 15 customers due to a member of staff. We come from the NE of England, and just know that having this specific member of staff you employ, in Newcastle or Durham area, wouldn’t last in terms of employability due to the lack of intolerance towards punters. Actual disgrace. Will not be returning

The drinks very expensive and waterd down.the band playing live music was brilliant. So would recommend a visit just to hear the music especially JC Greene from Liverpool fantastic musicians. To be safe order pint of larger only as you can not go wrong great pint. Do not order a wee dram or cocktail as you will be ripped off .staff need retraining how to make a cocktails.otherwise brilliant atmosphere.

We booked a table here for our anniversary after having been last year, but this time it felt very different. It was nowhere near as busy, but the drunk customers were so so loud that we could not hear ourselves. This isn't the fault of the bar, but a polite "please can you be concious of other customers" was all that the situation required. We left before we ordered food. The prices were very high for the atmosphere: the same as a lovely quite meal down the road. The manager did ask if we were okay on the way out which was appreciated and he even recommended another business down the street. Shame as we enjoyed it last year, but won't be returning.

I was a guest of The Lily Bar last night and I hope never again. On a positive, the staff were friendly & honest and the food was brought out promptly. When ordering the burger, I was contemplating whether to add the cheese & bacon….the waiting staff encouraged it as the ‘patty wasn’t great’ and that should add taste. She was right about the patty but wrong about the cheese & bacon, it added no taste to what was an incredibly dry mix of minced beef & something very dry. Ambleside on the whole should not be considered a destination for gastronomic delight.

Called here for a takeaway lunch, used them several times before. Service was disappointing to say the least. Not a please or thankyou from the ladies working in the shop - even when I pointed out they'd only charged me for 1 flat white! Previous reviews also highlight the fact that the staff are miserable, they respond but do nothing to address the concerns raised. Also, I would've thought that as u was the only customer in the shop on a very wet day would have been positive for them - obviously not! Not sure I'll return here.
