The Kenilworth Cocktail Lounge in Warwick

The staff were OK but there felt like there was a grumpy atmosphere. I wouldn't go back it just felt unwelcoming. We only had one drink and left. Good to try, nothing at all wrong with the drinks just don't want to feel attitude from staff when I'm in a place

Cocktails and service 10/10!! The lounge decor is cosy if a little dated (some people like that sort of thing though, just a personal preference) we will defo be back for more!!

Unbelievable... We arrived at 4.30, opening time on a Saturday at our most favourite place in Kenilworth for my Mums birthday.. this is a place where we come to all of the time when the family is together. The old management and staff always made us feel very welcome and always offered the 3 grandchildren (young) a sugar cube when we left..... Today we arrived with similar expectations of our favourite bar to be told we needed to leave by 7pm as it was a cocktail bar (ie you're TOO LOUD) (!) on leaving and leaving the £150+ bill, my mum gave 1 grandchild a sugar lump, when she went to get the other 2, the staff literally took them away saying 'they need them for drinks'. I cannot believe this treatment and we are absolutely stunned. Obviously there is a change of personelle, but we certainly won't go back again.... No wonder its up for sale!

Despite the nice environment and cocktails, the staff are inexperienced and rude. One of our party heard them berating us behind the bar, it seemed their trick was- ‘get as much money and a big tip out of them as we can’. Unknowing to this, we bought the waitress a drink as a tip but it obviously wasn’t what they were after and when we didn’t immediately tip when paying the bill, they turned. They tried to belittle us, we had split the bill (which was over £200I must add) between two and the barmaid had entered the amounts into card machine herself however quiet out of the blue, a very rude and arrogant barman came over as we were leaving and said ‘we owed 50p’ in an aggressive tone. If we did, then it was their fault for not entering the correct amount but upon checking, we didn’t, so for some reason, they just wanted to pick a fight. We tried to pay the 50p but they then wouldn’t let us and the barmaid then quite bizarrely said it was 25p we owed. They obviously were trying to make a laughing stock out of us at the end of their Friday night. The barman then made a sly comment about not leaving a tip before we were then told to f*** off… completely unprofessional, we wondered why was unusually quiet in there…perhaps this is common practise with the current staff…such a shame as we had a pleasant night otherwise and have been to this place a few times under its former name…AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

We had such a wonderful visit last night, and the à la carte and bespoke cocktails you made were fabulous! Thanks so much to all the team for making us so at home in your #secretgarden. Beautiful place and delicious cocktails. 5⭐

Booked an overnight stay and cocktail package. Great night and highly recommended for that specific occasion. Hosts Alex and Max and the rest of the team were so knowledgeable and guided us through our cocktail journey. They are a credit to the bar! Hotel room was gorgeous with the most comfortable bed. Overall a truly memorable experience. Try it!

Stayed here 3nites whilst visiting family nearby.The Room was a good size with a fan as it was warm .We stayed in the annexe at back it was so peaceful.The bed was a queen the mattress and pillows so comfy.The walk in shower was amazing Elmis shampoo shower gel it's a really luxury product I love it.The Young man with the eye glasses who gave us breakfast was so nice nothing was too much trouble.The two barmen in cocktail bar very friendly and so pleasant.The decor was very tasteful in bedroom ,shower ,and public area.and bar a very relaxing vibe in this hotel.We will return when in the area.So happy I found this hidden Gem.Kenilworth is a lovely village.A large sainsbury across from the hotel.

nice cocktail variety special occasion i think i can give them 5 out of 5 lovely people we definitely return for give a trey for the rest of the menu

Superbly consistent - great cocktail venue a little expensive but great for a treat. Nice little yard at the rear for those sunny evenings

Last night was the first time I’ve been able to go out with friends since February, and considering Coventry is in lockdown again from this morning I won’t be able to meet them again for a while. Thank you to The Kenilworth for a lovely pre-dinner cocktail experience. Although the menu is limited, the barman can put together other drinks if you ask. I could only have one alcoholic cocktail as I was driving later that night, so he rustled up a delicious cherry and chocolate non-alcoholic cocktail for me - heavenly. We had two cocktails each! Decadence!

Whilst I could not fault the service or the drinks , the garden area is in need of some serious attention. Many of the chairs had no cushions and were covered in leaves . Most of the plants have been left to do their own thing . It’s a shame as this area could be amazing , at the moment it looks neglected.

If you want to try diff cocktails then this is the place. So many options and even a great place for vegans. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend enough.

-5 star! When there is a group of 6-8 persons whose volume gets louder and louder, the swearing with F this and that is more frequent and louder, this is not the place you go for a quiet, sophisticated drink. Another guest went to the group and asked them to stop swearing, the staff did nothing. The matter was addressed, calm had been restored, until one of the party was clearly the worse for wear for drink, then confronts a table of 4, starts swearing at them telling them to F off and calls one a C***! And then attacks the customer who tries to get the drunk out of the bar whilst the staff look on. It turns out the drunk, aggressive and abusive man is the OWNER of the bar. His guests tried to apologise for his behaviour. Disgusting behaviour, the staff appeared terrified by his actions. Would not recommend a visit if the owner is on site.

Very cosy would put it mildly, excellent cocktails make this lounge stand out, can be quite expensive. No parking so get dropped off by taxi (or park at the Sainsburys car park after 8 pm)

I've stayed several times for the cocktail package here, both as a couple and with friends. The rooms are lovely and the beds are comfortable. There is a huge range of drinks, and the bar has a really nice atmosphere. The staff are really friendly, and the table service is quick. Joe and Chloe were especially lovely to us when we visited. We're already planning our next visit!

My husband and I have been fairly regular users of The Kenilworth over the past 5 plus years and have always loved it...but finally last night we had an overnight stay there for my husbands birthday. It really was fantastic; we stayed in room 11 which is absolutely gorgeous, spotlessly clean and has an amazing bathroom. We had the cocktail package included and can not fault the drinks, we’ve never had better cocktails anywhere else. The staff are always very friendly and attentive, they made sure our glasses were never empty and were on hand with recommendations and variations. Special shout out to Ryan, George and Joe, as ever great service from you guys... and also to the fantastic waitress that was on last night (I didn’t get her name), she was so polite and made sure we made the most of the evening. We had an excellent nights sleep in the most comfortable bed and a lovely shower in the morning. The continental breakfast was really nice with a good selection. Honestly could not fault our experience from the moment we walked through the door. We will definitely be back soon, looking forward to it already! Thank you :)

Excellent pre dinner cocktails last night, fantastic service and great atmosphere. I love this place.

Called in for a drink and asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. Said outside and taken down a passage behind the bar yo an area that resembles a Bedouin tent.. Very unexpected and very stylish. Prices for cocktails are what you would expect, staff are friendly and a really nice atmosphere.

We booked this hotel last minute to celebrate our wedding anniversary and so pleased that we did, very warm welcome, lovely room which was very well equipped, the staff were very attentive and knowledgable, lovely cocktails and a variety for those who don't . We had a lovely evening and a wonderful nights sleep followed by a very good continental breakfast. The decor and music - both perfect.

Went once, wont return. Very pricey and not particularly good atmosphere. A shame because i like cocktails

Visited several times and the cocktails are fine but a bit pricey. We like the Pisco sour and the Caipirinha. Service is good

Lovely surroundings great choice of cocktails & good service made even better by being able to sit outside in the sunshine

Amazing service here with a nice chilled vibe. The cocktails however are a bit overpriced for what they are.

Superb selection of cocktails and served in great atmosphere and very busy Friday and Saturdays .You can book a room if staying overnight, superb rooms

The cocktail list is extensive and between our group we tried a few different ones. All were excellent if a little expensive. They do serve draft Asahi for those that don't do cocktails. Nice atmosphere too and very good service.

We had a great evening here in the bar with fantastic cocktails. So much so that we ended up staying the night. Great room, lovely staff.

What a great find in the centre of Kenilworth. Wide range of spirits and cocktails plus the offer from the barman that they’ll make anything you want off menu too. Nicely designed and great service - mines a Vespa

I love this place it has history, it’s quaint, amazing cocktails, fabulous staff and a tastefully decorated. I like you have to book a table for drinks. It gives you a sense that service means more to them than the numbers, refreshing and so are the cocktails!

This is a small bar who’s decor resembles a gentleman’s club. We arrived to a bizarrely overbearing welcome and were presented with several ‘menus’ of incredibly unappealing cocktails. I opted for The Kenilworth, which was decidedly unpleasant and priced at £12. In summary - amusing wannabe clientele (which was the only plus point from an entertainment perspective), overbearing staff, lousy cocktails and pretentious atmosphere.

If you want somewhere to relax and have a great drink, this is the place in Kenilworth - cocktail selection is excellent and if you want, the team will make your specific requirements

This is a true gem, that I stay at regularly. Beautiful hotel rooms, great friendly service every time from the whole team.... If you are looking for some of the best cocktails ever, this is the place to visit.... I can highly recommend!!!

Booked a table but as was nice weather sat in the outside area. Had a couple of different cocktails all well presented in different styles and great tasting

Its expensive and dark, I dont know how the staff see, take a torch and lots of money, nice out door area

Beautiful decor, fantastic staff and service and fabulous cocktails. Well worth a visit this place is amazing if you are a cocktail lover. They have a huge range and even made our birthday girl a special. Everything is served is beautiful glasses. The whole place is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had a fantastic night will definitely be back.

Treated my Husband for his birthday for the cocktail package on a Sunday. Fantastic deal and excellent drinks, have stopped here many times before. We did book room 3 as we had never stopped in this room before, when we got there they had given ot to someone else, even though i had rang to confirm that room that very week. But apart from that very happy and am looking forward to going back and booking room 3!

We stayed in the hotel overnight and after eating elsewhere in town (The Kenilworth does not have a kitchen and does not serve dinner, etc.) we had booked a table in the cocktail bar. Given the glorious weather we sat outside in the beautiful garden area. It is a lovely oasis of calm and a sun-trap.

You cannot beat this place for cocktails. Too many places claim to be cocktail bars and are frankly rubbish- can’t taste anything but fruit juices. High end, high class. It’s the best place to drink in Warwickshire, never mind Kenilworth.

Worth finding, easy to walk past as doors are unremarkable. Table service of an excellent range of cocktails. Sometimes booking required for tables as gets pretty busy.

We come here regularly when out in Kenilworth - they have a wide selection of cocktails and the staff are really helpful in assisting you choose one that suits your taste. The atmosphere is quirky with dark furnishings and low lighting - my only criticism would be that it takes a while to get your drinks - they are all made from scratch and served to your table, which is great, but the bar area is small so I think they struggle to keep up the pace when the place is busy. Will definitely return.

If you’re looking for overpriced drinks in an oppressive atmosphere with poor service then this is the place for you. Went here on spec on Saturday night and was immediately asked if we had a reservation, which we didn’t, but the place was half empty. Anyway got a seat and ordered some cocktails which arrived after about 15 minutes and at £9 I was shocked at a cocktail served in a champagne glass and a few sips and it was gone. Ordered a different cocktail hoping for a larger serving, but no the same again. After that had a beer and left. This place is very pretentious and not somewhere I’d choose to visit again.

Arrived to a very poor, unprepared welcome which seemed to be a theme for all guests arriving after us. Waiting too long for our order to be taken and then for the cocktails to arrive. Staff very miserable- where was the Christmas cheer?

A friend booked a table for 4 people, we arrived a little early and they accommodated that which was great. Ordered our drinks, the cocktails were okay but I actually preferred the cocktails at another bar we had been in previously which was also slightly cheaper and had much more choice. My friend ordered a 'mocktail' and was enjoying it when the bottom dropped clean from her glass, leaving her holding broken glass and covering her in her white coconut drink. Of course, this isn't really anyone's fault however it took about 20 minutes of the guy spreading the drink around the floor before it was finally cleared up. The chair she was sat on was soaking wet and so we had to find another one and although we could see the funny side, it was really disappointing that it was not acknowledged other than a quick 'sorry' and 'this ALMOST never happens' which suggests perhaps it has happened a few times before and maybe they should invest in new glasses? My friend actually questioned this and he said it's happened to him a few times taking the glasses out of the dishwasher. The bill came and although we were grateful that the drink was replaced, no further acknowledgement that my friend was now sitting in soaking wet clothes and actually had to leave because she was so uncomfortable. I appreciate that this wasn't necessarily anyone's fault but the way that it was barely acknowledged and took so long to clean up mean that we would be unlikely to return. I felt that some of the other bars we visited had more of an atmosphere and a better menu.

Kenilworth Cocktail bar was once notorious for being the best in the shire but it's changed, it's quite standard now. There once was an extensive and unusual menu and always specials on offer and a feel of an exclusive atmosphere, the music and service was spot on! We have been about 3 times now and been disappointed. All our fav cocktails have gone and the service does not seem the same. It's still a great little bar but I don't rave about it anymore or go every Friday as we used to ;-p. I really really hope it gets better again!!!

...but a few things to straighten out.

I have been a handful of times to The Kenilworth Cocktail Lounge, and had some great cocktails. I went again...

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at The Kenilworth. We only happened to be in the area for...

We have been irregular visitors to the Cocktail Lounge since it first opened. For the first few years it was excellent. I think the owners are no longer showing much interest. As a result the standard has dropped considerably. The cocktail menu has shrunk so much that when we went a couple of weeks ago as a party of 11, there were only two gin cocktails on the menu. The service was haphazard. We had to ask to be allowed to sit outside.

This is the sister venue to the Edgbaston and the cocktails are just as good. The place is quite small so I would suggest to pre-book to ensure you get a table. The menu is extensive so there is always something you like and the staff are on hand to give you suggestions.

We visited the lounge for the first time and had a very enjoyable experience. You walk in and the place is snug and quirky. The staff seat you at the tables and explain the menu. They have an extensive range of fantastic cocktails. They will make a cocktail for you if there is something you want that is not on the menu.the place is decorated very nicely. The is a good buzz in the place some where you can go and chat and relax. We will definitely be back soon.

Popped in for a couple of drinks with friends - what a crazy place - but it works!We are middle aged (!), but were made to feel equally at home with a younger audience. We had pre-booked a table, and I think that is recommended. I had the "Smokey Old Bast**d" which is a rather special whiskey/sherry/syrup/bitters smooth drink. In fact I had two!Not cheap, and possibly not somewhere you could spend all night (you would fall over before long), but a great atmosphere, good drinks and pleasant service.

Visited last night to end our night out in Kenilworth. Was really looking forward to our last drinks of the evening as we have been a number of times before. It was my partners Birthday and had some lovely cocktails in 2 other places in Kenilworth before going to The Kenilworth. Not happy at first as they didn't have the large cocktail menu as before, although we had already decided on what we would like so we had to ask if they would do them....a Pina Colada and Espresso Martini. Was not very impressed with the epresso martini at all and as for the Pina Colada it was the smallest drink I've ever seen. Wherever we have had these before they have always been served in a hurricane glass never in a small martini glass. Although the flavour was nice it was just really small. When paying the bill I did comment on the size of the drink just to be told 'well that is the traditional recipe and if you wanted it in a tall glass you should have said and all we would have done is chucked more pineapple juice in'. !!! Shame as now we would not return again.

We were staying in Warwick but booked a table to come here as we like cocktails and don't come across an extensive cocktail menu very often. We were not at all disappointed and had an excellent few hours whiling away the evening sampling parts of the menu. The only difficulty was trying to decide between so many fantastic sounding cocktails! Would definitely come again if in the area.

Visited with my girlfriend for a few drinks on a birthday. We had booked a table, but when we first arrived were seated right by the front door which was a little disapointing, especially when walk ins who arrived later than us were seated in the nicer looking bar area. However, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the drinks were fantastic. By the time it became clear that we could ask to be moved we were already settled enough to not be too bothered by it.They have an extensive menu of their own cocktail creations but also have no problem with you ordering . They even accommodated my girlfriends ridiculously vague attempt to explain a cocktail she once had and the result was great.

We stayed in the Kenilworth Hotel on a B&B basis, but visited the cocktail lounge for drinks after an evening out.Very impressive décor and service at the bar.Not surprisingly, there was a vast cocktail menu available.Prices not too expensive either.A little gem.

a lovely cocktail bar to meet friends and enjoy the ambience, friendly staff and wonderful start to an evening, recommend a visit a large menu of cocktails which are fab

Exquisite atmosphere, a huge variety of cocktails, an absolutely perfect place for a date or a friendly chat.

We were in Kenilworth for the night and were walking down the Main Street when we passed the kenilworth. I thought it was a pub so pulled my husband inside. Was very pleasantly surprised to find it was not - it was a cocktail bar. We managed to get a table for 2 and ordered cocktails. There was such a huge menu. They were really good. I am not a big drinker but always look for a cocktail menu when out. This menu far exceeded anything I had seen before. We had 2 drinks each and would have loved to work through the menu if we lived locally. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to return some time. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

Definitely a place to visit in kenilworth. A friend recommended it to us and it was amazing. So many cocktails to choose from: cherry pie Bellini is definitely one to try. Little wait for service/ drinks but as to be expected when every drink is being made to order. Great atmosphere and setting. Rang up and got a table in 20mins after dinner

Have come here a number of times with friends, a great way to finish a night off. Chilled atmospher very knowledgable staff on hand to help with any questions. They do an awesome Old Fashioned. Would recommend booking as it can get quite busy and not that big inside.

Very good hotel. Few errors on there behalf, but quickly rectified. Service is a bit slow, bit of a mess as I believe there manager left. But truth be told it was a busy night. Would highly recommend staying here and also I would recommend the Harry's bar Bellini cocktail.

I love the setting and ambience here. Really great find where we hadn't booked but were welcomed to a table to enjoy a sharing platter and cocktails. The platter was great, just what we were looking for. A light bite to nibble on whilst drinking. Cocktails always take a while to arrive when made to order so we ordered a bottle of prosecco at the same time to ensure we got a drink straight away. There is such a great choice of cocktails on offer and when you speak to the very knowledgable staff they can offer you suggestions based on what tastes you like and how you are feeling. We had a great great time and it was steadily busy despite it being a midweek night early January. Would highly recommend!

This is our 'treat' venue for friends , family and business entertaining!We have been customers for many years and never written a review , despite raving about the experience !The cocktails are fantastic, and constantly changing, while retaining their classic favourites. The very friendly staff are knowledgeable, and the cocktail maestros will even make you something to order by your taste preferences.The atmosphere is intimate, low ceilings and always great background music.There is also a small upstairs bar within the venue should you wish to host a small group, as I have done with business clients.The atmosphere is best in the evening when dark.We often start or finish at the Kenilworth if we are eating across the road at the Indian Edge (best Indian in Kenilworth).. a perfect evening !!It is a family run business, and also have a sister venue in Edgbaston.Highly recommend !

Lovely cocktail lounge with a huge selection of cocktails on offer, the ones we tried were amazing, will defiantly be visiting again to get through a few more cocktails on the menu

This is an experience to enjoy. We were on a hen night and it a perfect way to spend part of our evening. The cocktail menu has a huge choice and each drink is described fully. The waiting staff are very knowledgeable about the drinks served which is very impressive considering the amount available. The place is fairly dark with enough light to make the atmosphere warm and cosy. The ceilings are lower than average so gives an intimate feel. We would definitely visit here again.

Absolutely appalling experience - shown to a microscopic table not big enough for 4 people. Drinks not served together - my wife's had been forgotten so had to ask where it was. Then we had to chase our waiter for our next drinks order and unbelievably our party was asked to move to another table mid-way through our drinks. This place does not deserve your business, we will not be coming back and we will be telling people how rubbish it is.No apologies from the staff as we left (leaving our second round of expensive cocktails at the bar after having been asked to move tables) and a disappointingly apathetic response to my message of complaint.Do not bother with this pretentious place unless you are happy with low standards.

Just inKenilworth and saw a lady outside what could of been a restaurant or bar, ask her if it was a bar and she said no, it's a cocktail lounge. So we went in and came out 3 hours later.Had some lovely cocktails and a sharing plater of food. It was all great and no where near as expensive as we thought. We guessed our bill would be £70, but it was under £60, and we had 5 cocktails, a half of beer and the most expensive sharing platter.Great

Fabulous cocktails, a must-go venue for a huge choice of amazing drinks. The range of American whiskies is stunning.

We were really surprised by this little gem. We had a great time. The staff were excellent, very knowledgeable and their recommendations were fantastic. We will definitely be returning.

Stopped in here for some cocktails before a meal in Kenilworth. As always the cocktails were excellent and the staff really knowledgeable and friendly.Book a table to avoid disappointment (you can do it by email).

My wife organised this visit for my birthday treat. A Cocktail master class, Our group of 10 had a private upstairs bar, hosted by 'Jake', our 'Mixologist'. He made up various of cocktails, with information about each style. He was very knowledgeable about the history and background of the ingredients. The last cocktails were made by individual members of the group to their own recipe, with guidance from the 'mixologist'. Jake was an excellent host and very entertaining. Every one had a great time.

Went here again after a few years. The cocktails are lovely. Not cheep but we would rather have beautiful drinks and have less of them. If you want cheep drinks go somewhere else if you want tasty, different, hand crafted drinks it's definitely worth it.

We called in for an early drink on Valentines night .What a treat ! Great service amazing cocktails and lovely ambience . Quite different from any other place in the area . Brilliant!

Drank here on a Saturday night. We sat in the centre bar area. The low ceilings, lighting and music enhanced the experience. We drank a handful of different cocktails and all of us enjoyed them. Would definitely return to this place for pre or post drinks, even though it makes a dent in your wallet :p

We had a work night out and decided to come here, it was nice and the ladies toilets were very nice and clean. Cocktails averaged about £10 each but the choice was very good!

Cocktails are worth the trip but the service sometimes lets it down.We've booked a table a few times as it tends to get busy on a Saturday night. After about 2 hours we tend to get shuffled out. One time we had just bought another drink and they came over and put our bill on the table without us even asking for it. We hadn't even finished our drinks! Other times we've had good experiences but this often tends to be when it's less busy

Staff are excellent and very knowledgeable. It seems that they make many of the concoctions on the premises - and the taste is great. They will even "create" something for you if you tell them what you like - hows about that for going the extra mile. Just be sure to check the prices (or your bank balance) as some of the drinks are a little pricey.

I've visited several times and will definitely return.Lovely, relaxed atmosphere for drinks ideal for couples.Great choice of cocktails with a seasonal menu too. Booking is recommended as it gets busy at the weekend and tables are limited.

I always come here on special occasions! The menu is very extensive, so difficult to choose a cocktail! The quality of them is fab, a proper good cocktail. The Kenilworth has a lovely ambience with some great jazz music! Very sophisticated! I love this little place!

Visited here after a meal out in kenilworth, drinks menu is good, can't fault that. But it has to go down as the most pretentious establishments I have ever visited. Very very overpriced drinks considering there are cocktails just as good available elsewhere in kenilworth. If staff spent less time talking about how much better they are than other places in kenilworth then maybe they would actually improve the level of customer service. There is no ambience at all, felt very awkward and left after 1 drink.

The cocktails are second to none. Very knowledgeable staff. Great atmosphere. Table service. Beats other places in Kenilworth to drink HANDS DOWN. Kenilworth boards (meat and cheese) great too. My favourite place to drink in Warwickshire

Booked a table for cocktails at the Kenilworth for my friends birthday. We were told when booking to make staff aware of the fact that it was her birthday, when we did this on the night we were told by our waitress that the manager had "refused" to provide us with anything but told us that the shared cocktails are a "good price". We ordered drinks, waited for over 45 minutes for the drinks to arrive, shocking customer service, drinks are over priced and over rated. Would not recommend.

Firstly the atmosphere is nice and they always play electroswing, which I love. The list is massive and somehow they manage to pull it off without the quality decreasing. The bartenders are amazing and a seasonal list is also supplied. The drinks are great, and even though the price hover around 10£ per drink they're definitely worth it. I would suggest any cocktail lover to visit this place as many of these bartenders end up in the top bars of the world at some point :)

The frontage of the Kenilworth is unassuming, and very different to the inside.The low ceiling and the dark lighting are the first things which greet you, following by a member of the team (who were lovely).We only stayed for a couple of cocktail, but as I noted, they're more art than booze - tasted brilliant however.Expect to pay quite a bit per drink, but as they say - you get what you pay for.I'll be back!

I have visited The Kenilworth on a few occasions, and have never been disappointed! We normally go as a large group, so book a table in advance, which they are more than happy to accommodate.The cocktails are fantastic, and there are so many to choose from!! The staff are friendly and knowledgable, and they offer table service which is lovely.Haven't had a bad night here yet, and can't wait to visit again

the kenilworth is a very lovely place the staff are very kind and helpful if you need anything and the cocktails are amazing.

Thank you for an absolutely amazing time! again!All the staff there are phenomenal. Always friendly and chatty, and yet we never repeat our order or wait too long for drinks, and that night was the busiest we have seen it!! The cocktail package is definitely the way to go as you get all evening to sample some truly wonderful drinks. (Milk and cookies and Last Mango in Paris especially! and the Brazilian, and toffee hammer, and oh just all of them!!)You have the best atmosphere and cocktail lists ever and we can't wait to come back! We all really appreciated how water kept appearing throughout the evening, I have never been too worse for wear the day after, even after 7 hours of cocktails!

As the title explains we found this place to not be worth the wait nor the price we paid. After a lovely meal over the road at Indian edge we decided to end the night with a cocktail. As we didn't book we were seated on a very cramped bench, the dark lighting created a nice ambiance however the lack of air and stuffiness from the heaters made it very uncomfortable. We waited over 30minutes before anyone took our drinks order and just as we were about to walk out and go to lil greens for a cocktail instead someone came over to take it. I wish we had left to go to lil greens as the cocktails were poor and definitely not worth the price tag attached. Don't think we will be returning anytime soon!

We'd already had a disappointing afteernoon elsewhere, we thought we'd shake it off by coming to The Kenilworth for some drinks. The disappointment continues. I don't know what it is about the town but there's a mix of upper class and know it all who know nothing types. Dark ambience like a bad nightclub, average cocktails that led my friends to apologise for recommending here as they'd been before. Icy on the top of my drink that could've been strained better, a long wait for the cocktails we ordered with not a lot to show. We thought this place was quiet and unassuming with charm, it's low and claustrophobic with an arrogant flair.

We had been to Birmingham for an appointment, after we left we weren't in any rush and decided in the afternoon to find somewhere to stay for the night, the usual chain hotels were all fully booked and so we looked at some of the smaller b&b's, and found this gem. The room was good, and breakfast was continental with plenty of choice, we had a tapas style platter in the evening, as well as a few cocktails which were marvellous. The staff were all excellent and clearly customer focused. Would definitely stay again.

The place looks quaint from the outside but has a strange padded wall dark vibe on the inside. The drink selection is incredible and the drinks are tasty; however, drinks with ice come with a lot more ice than drink. The staff is very nice and can be helpful sorting out the extensive menu but don't expect the best bang for your buck or pound when settling in for cocktail hour.

We came here for celebratory drinks as a couple and were amazed by what we found. Don't be deceived by the tiny outside, there is plenty of space and a big garden area for nice summer evenings. The cocktails were fantastic and the staff were very attentive.... maybe too attentive as one waitress came and asked us about 3 times if we were ok and if we wanted anything. Great music to accompany the nice decor and atmosphere. I would say it was reasonably priced for the cocktails, maybe a little on the expensive side so great for a celebration or occasion. I'd recommend the Cherry Pie Bellini and the coconut mojito!

Excellent choice of cocktails, certainly something for everyone, really good, attentive staff with a broad knowledge of drinks and happy to advise. This is a very popular bar so would suggest booking at weekends, we found it a little hot but there was a fan which helped cool us down; overall highly recommended

My girlfriend and I took our daughters to the Kenilworth after a meal in Birmingham. After a warm welcome we chose our drinks, which were what can only be described as alcohol heaven. Our second round saw my daughter become the 3rd person in our bartenders experience to dislike the millionaire 4. Before we knew it, he'd replaced it with a secret drink on the house, which turned out to be a pina colada. This place is without a doubt the best bar I've ever had the fortune to drink in.

My fiancé and I have been here many times now, the service is of an excellent standard. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the cocktail's they serve. A couple next to us ordered a cheese board which looked incredible! We will be trying that next time for sure. I would recommend booking in advance as they can get quite busy of an evening.

I have been here a couple of times and never had a bad experience, when ordering cocktails it sometimes feels like luck of draw of how nice your drink will be, so if you are tight with money ask advice or choose sensibly. The staff and bartenders are always happy to help and even provide the table with snacks. The menu is vast so you are not stuck for choice.

The cocktail lounge itself was fantastic. Good atmosphere, excellent drinks, friendly staff and an all-round great evening. We also stayed at the hotel which was fantastic. The room was really lovely, very clean and very spacious. Highly recommended!

It is really rare to find a place that specialise in cocktails - The Kenilworth's cocktail menu is a dream - and the did not disappoint! We were 13 people and even cocktail looked and tasted amazingly

What a little treat ....A lovely experience . I honestly never knew you there were that many cocktails ...A quirky boudoir, perfect for date night or a little self indulgent treat . If you are visiting Kenilworth, its worth a visit , but you need to book to make sue you get in .

Chris is an excellent manager who ensures that his guests are well looked after. Knowledgable and welcoming he loves his job and enjoys cocktails! The selection of cocktails is vast and I am sure if you asked for something not on the list they would try and make it. Try the gins - and book - and enjoy!!!

Visited on Saturday evening for a drink. Heard good things about the place however i was very disappointed. After having a meal elsewhere we visited for a couple of drinks. The place seemed to be just full of rude and snobby people. The atmosphere was poor, it seemed more like a gentleman's bar than a cocktail lounge. The drinks were ok. Not worth the price we payed. We decided to leave our drinks and go elsewhere.
