Only recommend coming here if you like being treated like a tramp by power hungry bouncers. Popped my head out of the front of the smoking area to try and find my partner who had dissapeared and was screamed at to get back inside (I know friendly right) I was spoken to like a drunk fool when I hadn't even finished my first drink. When I went back inside the doors to finish the drink as I was asked, I was shouted at yet again. So I go outside to meet my partner who's injured themselves and wants to leave. Upon trying to re enter the club to get our items from the cloakroom I was grabbed and shouted at as if I was some drunk loony and told I wasn't going to be let back in, even though I'd gone back inside to finish my drink and hadn't uttered an argumentative word to either of the power hungry security and had calmly explained to them that i was checking in on my girlfriend. So I was left looking humiliated in public when in reality all I'd done was pop my head outside to make sure my partner was OK and wasn't hurt I'd only suggest coming here if your ideal night out is being abused by bullyish security who have nothing better to do than cause problems because they're bored and need a bit of cheap entertainment. I understand that places have rules, but the way the security enforce these rules is nothing short of a schoolyard bully who's enjoying telling people what to do and pushing them around. Rude and abusive, definetely won't be visiting again and shall be recommending to my friends to not come here unless they have a kink for being humiliated and embarrassed for no reason. Edit: I'd like to add to this, when I asked the security why they wouldn't let me back in I wasn't even given an answer! The guard just looked at me in silence as he knew there was no legitimate reason! Shameful and disgraceful service

Brilliant night and good vibes, music was banger after banger however DJ was rather rude when asked if he took requests, told me to "go away!" And shoo'd me away with his hand like I was a rat, would've given 5* if it wasn't for that. Be nicer next time Mr.DJ. Toilets were rather gross too, needed to be checked and cleaned more by staff.

We hired an area for a group booking and the team at The Walrus did not disappoint. Although we had to queue to get in, the bouncers were friendly and explained the rationale. The bar was busy but Millie was very diligent and attentive, serving us delicious cocktails. The space we had booked out was a great size with mixed seating and just what we wanted. I would go back again for sure!

Went in for a drink thinking you can’t go wrong with aperol spritz. Flat prosecco was used for one of the drinks and half for the other. When I questioned how long it had been open for I was told an hour. Felt the bar staff were very defensive about this as it had clearly been open at least overnight and only 2 other people were in there. Asked for a top up of the fresh prosecco and was told this would be an extra charge which usually isn’t an issue in any other bar. Either the owner is incredibly cheap or the bar staff need to feel empowered. For £6 a cocktail 400 rabbits or Tilt at an extra 50p are a stronger quality of service, atmosphere and drinks.

I came here tonight with work colleagues. Really enjoying myself until a member of the bar staff asked me something whilst I was waiting. With the background noise and me being severely deaf I couldn't hear him. He was extremely rude and wouldn't serve me when I eventually heard him. No need at all for that, I left shortly agree rather upset. Outside he'd have gotten a much different reaction, I'd avoid this place based on that, ruined my evening.if I owned thus placed I would sack him for him to behave like that towards deaf people. I'd be interested to talk to the manager

Never had an issue with this place until Halloween. Despite having a stamp and valid tickets they wouldn't let my boyfriend back in after 'leaving the smoking area'. We left the barrier to get air, as it's hard to get air with everyone around us smoking. Bouncers are power hungry and despite it saying nowhere in the terms and conditions that we aren't allowed back in, they still wouldn't let us back in. They wouldn't let my boyfriend back in, as I was already half way down the stairs when I wondered where he was, so apparently it's rules for different people. Terrible service and really ruined my night. Literally no point having a valid stamp and ticket if they're not going to let people back into the building. Ridiculous.

Group of lads attend buy several drinks and set up Beer-Pong and begin to play. However, due to the inaccuracy of one of the participants ball ends up behind the bar. Said participant walks behind the bar to retrieve the ball at which point the group is accused of burglary and asked to leave by management. So, in conclusion, I can only recommend this place if getting kicked out early for no reason is your objective. Otherwise give this place a miss and go elsewhere!

Took some out of town mates here as normally the music is great but the music tonight was awful. Dj played nothing but slow beats all evening, tried to wait it out for it to get good but never did. The music in the restaurant we’d been in prior was better. Multiple people went up to request songs or ask for something to dance to but he refused to even look, completely ignoring people. We left along side a few groups leaving due to his attitude and awful playlist.

Went in and it was early so quite, which was good for us as wanted a quick drink. Had 2 4 £12 cocktails and had long island ice tea as had to have the same, which was no problem. Problem was the cocktails were poor, just tasted of sugar and I have had many long island ice teas and usually you taste the booze, this one could have none in it. Decor cool but because in a basement it was musty smell.

Manager Paige, she had awful manners and no people skills whatsoever, she refused to explain why we were removed but insisted it was because it was for a broken glass during beer pong (provided with plastic cups, so no way we could’ve smashed a glass) not a nice human and refused to let us speak despite no argument just wanting to hear a reasonable explanation for being removed. She proceeded to remove drinks from our table when we questioned the grounds she wanted to remove us for. To describe this member of staff for reference, it would be short, stocky, blonde and had a smell I can only describe as unusual.

Manager, Paige. Absolutely awful customer service. A glass smashed on a beer pong table before we were on the table was claimed to be smashed by us. We disputed it was us having been on the table for a matter of seconds. She threatened us with being removed for no apparent reason and refused to speak to us. To describe this member of staff that was rude to the group and I, it would be the woman with less amount of teeth than she should have, always trying to walk away with no reason I don’t appreciate this as a paying patron. Really bad customer service and no respect for people in custom just abusing the little power she does have.

Great fun! Has beer pong and a dance floor. Got a bit cramped at times but i still had great time. I loved the old school music too! Only point would be they need to move the beer pong tables away from the toilets as people were in the way and it was unhygienic when the ball was dropping on the floor. Need a better areao or better cleaning options for the balls.

It's a great venue in terms of decor, music choice, ambience and drinks, but it has let itself down recently by making the decision to stop accepting cash. That decision has nothing to do with Covid and probably came into force as it's cheaper not to handle it. Many of us still budget and work with cash, so unfortunately won't be going again!

This was amazing! It seemed the place didn't get too overcrowded which was just so refreshing. The cocktails are on point! And the music is too. Had such a good night there. One issue was I was waiting to be served and thought that one guy was busy doing something. However, one guy came up next to me and he just turned to him and said hi mate, what can I get you? I did not buy anymore drinks after this and actually just turned away from the bar. Being the only other person at the bar despite the group of girls being served by the other bar lady. I was visible to him and was standing there for a while before the other customer came to the bar.

The Walrus is a fun place to go and dance. The music is a mixture of classic pop/funk/soul and anything else that sounds good and makes you want to dance. Its a mixture of eras from the 60s to the 90s. Anything works as long as it sounds good. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. The age range is....well broad....but this is the sort of place where that doesn't matter. As for drinks, its predominantly cocktails. £8-£9ish or there are the usual alternatives. Open until 2am. The Walrus is the sort of place where you can lose track of time and before you know it they've turned the music off and they're asking you to leave.

Happened upon this place at random and had the early bird 3 course. There was 2 of us. We walked in and were the only people in there. We were met with a fusty smell (ultimately this didn't matter as the review is still 5 stars). It was silent as we came in but upon seating some ambient music was put on which was nice. The lady was served us was attentive and very pleasant, the timing of the food and spacing between courses was good. We had the soup of day (red pepper and tomato) and pate (stilton) for starters, steak stroganoff and crispy pork belly for main and sticky toffee pudding and baked cheesecake for dessert. The dishes aren't big but they're not small either. The food is presented very nicely and the soup came with a lovely warm roll. The stroganoff was so very tasty, the beef melting away nicely and the pork belly showing a lovely crisp to it with a healthy selection of veg and potatoes. Seasoning is on the table, presumably for you to do to taste. Whilst usually a bigger eater, the servings being a little small mattered not as they were very flavourful so that having a large portion may have been too rich so I actually agree with the portion sizes. I was debating a 4* solely due to the fusty smell upon entry but I don't know if its a fixable problem and tbh, you get used to it after a couple mins. Ultimately that doesn't detract away the fact I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere (even though we were the only ones in), the service and the price and that I would happily return.
