The Lounge in Bristol, City of

I've had a typical English breakfast twice. Ordering is a hassle, because you order online or at the bar. That method is quite impersonal.

Stopped for a quick drink and bowl of chips! Had to change my baby but as I was alone I had to take the whole pram with me. The disabled loo with baby change is down a small corridor with a tight entrance. I had to ask a member of staff to actually move some barrels out of the way to get in the door. This is barely accessible for prams and wheelchairs at the best of time, let alone with barrels in the way. Staff were lovely and very helpful, seemed quite embarrassed that it was in the way and were very apologetic. But just a warning to anyone in a chair or scooter, you won't fit!

The food was amazing wasnt a single issue and massive thankyou to louise who was very polite and gave amazing customer service would highly recommend.

Lovely establishment very welcoming the food was perfect and wait time wasn’t long, a massive thank you to Louise who gave phenomenal customer service and made it a wonderful experience would highly recommend

The lounges are a bit of a gamble they seem to have a different chef every time, I always get tapas, whipped feta, squid and one random. This time the feta was cold and there was little honey and they have changed breads to a ciabatta which is significantly worse than the flatbread they had previously. The squid was alright but not very warm. an OJ and lemonade costs £5 as well which is more than a damn pint. A nice place but too expensive and inconsistent

My son and partner took us here for a bite to eat, had the birra brisket smash burger, best I've had by far, absolutely gorgeous and service was prompt. When I visit again you'll be my first stop.

We go here a lot (and other Lounges) for lunch, brunch and dinner and it’s good food with good service. My one complaint is that the hot chocolate is very, very weak. There’s barely any chocolate in it and tastes of slightly sweetened milk. I have asked for another before and they must have upped the amount of chocolate and that was an improvement. However the next time I went back, it was just as weak again.

Muy buena comida. Además, nuestra camarera hizo todo lo posible para ayudar cuando le expliqué que tengo un problema con los espacios abiertos. Ella entendió y fue muy amable. Buena mesa para dos encontrados.

Food is always fab - the new menu is a hit, especially the birria tacos! But what keeps us coming back is Lou; she is always so friendly and warm, and makes sure guests are well looked after. Thank you for taking such great care of us as always!

Breakfast was so yum, lovely atmosphere lovely staff. Spoke to Katie and Allie and were super friendly and helped me with coffee options!

food was very average, may as well have been at 'Spoons. decent vibe and not expensive but keep your expectations for food quality low

Went to the Lounge for a sausage and mushroom sandwich. The sandwich came with ONE mushroom on the side! Service and atmosphere was excellent.

Horrible comida quemada, sobre salada - me sorprende que el ‘chef’ enviara comida así. Nos ofrecieron una bebida de cortesía, pero ya teníamos una botella de Prosecco, así que nos negamos.

Nice environment and staff! The place look very authentic and local. The food was average same as the prices.

Visita al salón anoche, nunca deja de entregar en la comida y el buen servicio. Soy celíaca, hay un buen menú Gluten Free y entienden el riesgo de contaminación x aunque como sabemos nunca hay riesgo 100 por ciento libre cuando los productos con gluten se usan en una cocina. El Gerente anoche fue profesional y amable y la camarera tan amable, divertida y burbujeante, un crédito a la empresa, la comida servida muy rápido y todo el mundo lo disfrutó, ensaladas y hamburguesas eran especialmente deliciosas, no estaba ocupado. Volveremos pronto gracias

Excellent food and service as always

Very nice lunch can well recommend the Sri Lankan Curry. 10/10. Well done.

Came here for a group meal, there were 22 of us. Lou was hilarious and provided a great service to us all. Food all came in reasonable time, given the group size and was really tasty.

I went with 2 friends. Veryngood the drink was good. Very busy place the staff were pleasant I enjoyed to food. .

Vine a almorzar a mitad de semana. El personal era muy amable y dio la bienvenida a todos los que entraron por la puerta. La señora que me sirvió me aconsejó sobre los niveles de especias y recomendó su comida favorita. Fue una buena propina y dejé un cliente feliz y satisfecho.

The original lounge, still pretty good quality food at affordable prices.

It's a lounge What can you say As expected excellent staff with just the right amount of sazz

Dog friendly, super cool atmosphere little cafe with excellent full English and pots of good tea

Child friendly. Serves gluten free options. Quite busy during dinner time, i came early so there’s no wait time. Would recommend

3/2/2025 Monday, at 8 pm, There was a guy today he was a chief his food was smelled by weed and i saw him smoking weed out of the restaurant, and the food was very very bad and make me feel sick and Nauseous and that is unexpectable, and i don't think i can explain how bad my experience was

I came here on Saturday 1st Feb to meet up with my sister, brother in law and my 2 lovely nephews for a early birthday meal for my upcoming 40th birthday. Me and my brother in law both had Lounge Breakfast which was fantastic 😋. My sister had something else as did the nephews. I had a cappuccino with my Lounge Breakfast which was pretty good. The service was excellent, many thanks to the lovely waitress who bought out a ice cream chocolate cake with candles on it. Will definitely go again. Ben xx

Popped to the lounge for my dad's birthday today and the staff have been second to none. You can tell they are busy and seem short staffed but have been amazing start to finish. Gave my dad a free coffee for his birthday and food as usual was absolutely amazing. Kudos to Lou Miller - brilliant staff member. Also male server was brilliant and attentive to needs.

Lucy, Lou and Stella and the other guys always go way above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. I recommend dropping in on your way past, you won't be disappointed.

I had a veggie burger. I must say is not their top meal. I think their breakfast options is better! It was ok, but I think a bit to pricy for what it was. Overall, it's a great place with great atmosphere and staff members.

Mixed bag here (and in all Lounges). I was disappointed by the tiny side of chips which was served in a ramekin dish! The salt and pepper squid was excellent. The staff were brilliant but your venues are sooo noisy!

Great service, great food, always a helpful team working at the Lounge....

Hice una consulta de última hora sobre la posibilidad de reservar una mesa para una fiesta de seis en un día de partido de fútbol. El contacto fue fácil a través de la página web y recibí respuesta muy rápidamente. El personal era muy servicial y movió las cosas para llevarnos a comer. La comida era excelente y aunque claramente está muy ocupado en un día de partido el personal era muy amable y atento. Realmente no puedo recomendar Lounge lo suficientemente alto, porciones decentes y comida recién preparada y bebidas grandes son en realidad grandes. Un gran almuerzo en un ambiente agradable con un personal fantástico.

Gluten free with a difference. Anyone with allergies I'd highly recommend coming here. They really know their stuff and are very careful with cross contamination (obviously they have to get you to read a disclaimer) Great selection of gluten free food, not limited like most places. Staff very friendly and helpful, atmosphere was brilliant. Will definitely be returning! Prices really good and food tastes amazing

Cooked breakfast was luke warm won't be going back there

Reliable service. A local favourite

First visit back to the original Lounge in 15 years. Still as nice as it always was.

The food was actually better than I expected without being amazing. The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was good - it was a Wednesday night, but was still busy.

The service was prompt and very personable, the food was very tasty and the seasonal mulled wine was delicious. It was a bit noisy, but you've got to expect that from a popular place 🙂

Been working in the industry for years and i was really impressed with this place, been to about every dining spot in bedminster and this might be my new go to! i like the variety on the menu, the service was spectacular, my partner’s food took a bit long to come but didn’t negatively affect our experience. Would really recommend this place great old school vibe!

Went here after nightshift for breakfast with my friend! The staff were friendly. The food came out quickly. I had the lounge breakfast. It was nice and just enough. The coffee was also good . Recommended for breakfast or brunch. Wide selection.

Weve been to many Lounges and they are always great but this one is exeptional. The lady who served us was so friendly and funny. Great food, geat value, great service.

Great atmosphere and happy staff!

Lou was our server What an asset to your business nothing was too much trouble Greeted with a smile Served with a smile Attention to the little things was awesome Had a warm awesome experience overall Thank you lou your amazing a real credit to the business

Have gone for date night, friends brunch and family lunch and each time the quality is amazing, the atmosphere is cozy and when we’re with our little kids, they really prioritise their drinks and free starter and that really REALLY stands out to parents. All friendly staff

Great for breakfasts.Excellent friendly service.

Badly cooked breakfast yesterday - bacon completely dried out, overcooked black pudding and the rest was almost cold.

These aren't good anymore. They're ok. But not good. I ordered a side of fries for £3.30 and it came in a small ramakin that held like 1/3rd of what one would hope for. The food is solidly ok, but once it was good. Those days are gone it seems.

Fantastic burgers with tiny portions of chips , Mezze salad was tasty but again was a small portion, reasonable prices and good selection of vegan and gluten free items

Lovely food, good prices ,friendly staff

Service was good, but the whole place was cold as the doors were open whilst it was raining.... the food way too overdone, and chips were swimming in oil 🤢 will not be visiting again.

We went there for brunch, with a good selection of food and as an added bonus we could take our dog inside where she had a puppocino, The food was cooked from fresh and served nice and hot, the staff were very friendly, Would definitely recommend, I don't know if you can book because as we were leaving there was a fair queue of diners waiting,

Very welcoming staff, thoughtful, helpful Always a great selection of food and drinks , Loved the chicken curry, Nice time .

Quite disappointed by my latest experience of the Lounges. A colleague booked Teatro for a meal for a large group for my leaving do. One week before the day they had taken another booking for a larger group and cancelled our booking. We were forced to change the day and venue and settled on Brunello and Weston. Brunello do not take food orders in advance which immediately made me feel anxious that some people would not get what they wanted (something increasingly happening at the lounges). Ordering was chaotic as instead of having the reorders we had to order individually, this meant that food came out as and when and the last order came out as most others had finished eating. I got my third choice of meal which was not as hot as it could have been although very tasty. The quickest way to get tour order and not have to chase staff for it appears to be by using the app. Not ideal and takes the humanity away from the eating experience.

Loved it... the feta on the tapas was exceptional!! Will be back for sure

Really chilled atmosphere. Friendly staff & great food... What's not to love?

Food ok, reasonably priced as youd expect but the 2 lads serving looked like they had been raving all night. This is fine but when it is accompanied by surly customer service it kind of leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Young woman (manager?) saved the day with a winning smile.

Attentive and accommodating staff, great food deals (it’s worth it to read the menu to find out about them). When we came, it was rather full on an early Monday evening - always a good sign, I guess!

Love the Lounge! Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Dealt adequately with my allergies (although it's sad they've now adopted the Allergen groups list approach). Couldn't guarantee food didn't contain the additives I'm sensitive to (sodium benzoate and sodium metabisulfate amongst others) or elements from the nightshade family. Wouldn't show me ingredients as they've done in the past which is a shame as it makes everything so much easier. Had to carefully taste tiny smears of individual elements of my food and then wait to see if I reacted - epi-pen at the ready JIC. Will now have to do this every time we eat here as my reactions are dependent on my histamine levels so could react differently. What a shame I couldn't just see the bottle the sauce came out of...

For a brunch today I headed to a well popular spot called the lounge, ate here a couple times in the past so thought we give it another go. Today I ordered a Shakshouka with hashbrowns and jalapeños with a fresh orange and lemonade. Shakshouka had a very deep rounded tomato base as expected pretty rich with a nice depth to it, but I would say it lacked that side note of the peppers and any aroma or flavour of garlic, was kinda flat on any other flavour then tomato. The eggs were cooked to perfection runny centre, nice fresh eggs with that creamy yolk. Standard hashbrown nothing too crispy about them which always saddens me, crispy and saltier the better right? Nice super fresh orange juice mixed with lemonade always hits the spot, I would also add the little touch of crispy chickpeas were nice running through the dish. But for a staggering £18+ for this meal I have to say it’s a bit steep for the quality of food I ate today. Look it’s not the worst I’ve had it just lacked things that I think price point should have, if I payed £10/12 all in for this meal I wouldn’t be as harsh. Today I score it 6/10 overall.

Staff are great 😊 Go to place for breakfast/ brunch

Fab place with a great atmosphere, the breakfast was really good and it was good to be able to request a couple of changes, no eggs more hash browns for my daughter. Fresh orange juice was just what we needed to wake us up.

Had a great experience at The Lounge in Southville. Was found a table promptly even though it was busy. Jona was particularly helpful in finding out what was in a particularly dish and made an advisement based on what we told her. She was very friendly, bubbly and couldn't do enough to help and make sure all was good with us. Definitely will come back 💗

Very busy, really noisy. Hard to hear each other. The music was turned up to above levels of customer noise so people talked even louder! Floor strangely sloped in an area near ladies toilet - invisible in the current lighting. See photos for ladies toilets. Don't take a timid person in there, looks grubbier than a 1900s Whitechapel cupboard. Great for resilient teenagers I expect but we needed trauma counselling when we left.

Una increíble elección de bebidas, tanto alcohol como sin alcohol, buena comida y un gran ambiente. Sin duda recomendaría

Good food and atmosphere, plenty of veggie options.

Lovely food, excellent beer selection, great atmosphere

Menú brillante especialmente para vegetarianos. Muchas opciones. Deliciosa comida. Todos tuvimos algo diferente y el servicio fue muy rápido. La señora que nos sirvió todo el tiempo era encantador. Divertido, servicial y un anfitrión brillante. Definitivamente voy de nuevo. Tenía el curry caribeño vegetal. Fue delicioso, las tapas también fueron un gran grito para nuestro grupo. Ahora es mi lugar favorito para comer en Bristol. También nos permitieron pedir comida tarde cuando otros restaurantes dijeron que llegábamos demasiado tarde. Perfecto xxx

Vine para un almuerzo ligero. Tomamos las tapas (hummus, calamar sal n pimienta y buñuelos de maíz dulce cheddar n) y un par de cervezas. La comida era deliciosa, el servicio era perfecto, y el costo era razonable. Si tienes la suerte de conseguir un asiento fuera es perfecto para la gente - mirando en la calle Norte.

Lounges are one of my favourite places, no matter which one you go to, you know what you're getting. Very chilled atmosphere.food was good also the staff very friendly and helpful.

Great, fresh food. Loved the bang bang cauliflower. Cocktails fab too. Lovely team offered friendly service

Had a fantastic brunch at the Lounge in Bristol. Great service, girls could not have been nicer. Quality fry up! Would highly recommend. 😎

Very friendly staff. Food was on time and delicious. Their kids friendly

I am a regular here and it's always great! Food is good, menu has all the greats ? Eggs benedict, pancakes, morroccan eggs. The drinks selection is awesome - their shakes are nice and thick, and their frappe delicious, I really like their iced coffees (especially if you add French Vanilla syrup) Service is swift. Outdoor tables are nice in the sun. The decor is quirky.

What a great little find this is. Visited here with my daughter for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very eclectic decor with a cosy warm feel to it. Food and service very good.

The original and best (possibly) of the Lounges. They do Hofmeister but it tastes like the proper German stuff and not the watered down English version from the 80s 'follow the bear'

Popped in on our way back home from a walk. Was able to relax and enjoy our short time spent in there. Staff were lovely throughout & the food was great.

Brilliant service. Very tasty food. Kind friendly staff. Nice interior inside very relaxed vibe

Four friends and I ate here before a comedy show at the Hen and Chicken. The food was great and served quickly. The manager was mad as a box of frogs but an absolute delight and really made our meal! We'll definitely come again!

Love the atmosphere at the Lounge, friendly staff and great selection of food. Bonus it's dog friendly.

Lovely food, atmosphere and friendly staff.

Always good food and friendly staff.

It gets rather noisy but it's a good place to have lunch on a week day

Really enjoyed an evening of tapas here with friends. Reasonably priced and good selection. Sometimes it can be a bit hit and miss but the venue is always welcoming to large groups and there's something for most tastes on the menu.

Lovely food, chilled atmosphere and really friendly.. really good value for money. With lots of healthy options.

Called.in here to day with my mother for mothers day we had the most loveliest time ever. The food was lovely and hot and a lovely atmosphere in here we most Def will be coming back here. After traveling from Weston super mare to Bristol on are next visit we will be comming here again really enjoyed are selfs lovely food Thank you

It's quick, convenient, there is always a seat available and the food is good (you know what you're getting for the price).

always amazing food, lou our server was amazing made our trip super special!

Dog friendly and a great place to hang out if you have furry babies. Tapas Tuesday is such a great value and delicious.

Delicious tapas, excellent service

Amazing food! Very authentic and perfect portions! A must in Bristol!

Tasty as always and a great way to warm up after freezing at Ashton Gate. Lovely chatty waiters helps without ever being intrusive

Really nice place, ambiance is friendly and food is superb (i am coeliac and so had the gluten free food)! The staff are very friendly and it's an easy place to find.

Great food at a reasonable price, with plenty of options for those with milk allergies.

i LOOOOOOVE the lounge!! best vibe and servers ever!! the food is sooooooooooooooo good!!! pls bring back the burrito wrap

Quirky interesting interior design. Enjoyed great tapas. Friendly, efficient service. Very convenient location.

The manager, Lou, is the best asset to this place. The staff are mostly all friendly, but all polite. Lou on the other hand is exceptional and makes this place feel so warm, bubbly and vibrant. Never dull your shine for anyone, your perfect and the best addition not only to The Lounge but to life. Congrats on buying a grey sweater also.

The food was lovely and the server was amazing. She made my son's birthday meal a really good night. We will be going back soon. I highly recommend the lounge bedminster.

How cool! ... and very good service.

Had the tapas menu, some really good options for everyone.

Good (ish) food, unfortunately second time now eggs are overcooked. Staff were chatting away at the counter but never actually came to check if everything was ok. Edit; just came back home and felt sick, so updated food to 1 star.
