Exceptional Experience at Trude Restaurant & Bar in South Norwood I recently had the pleasure of an evening at Trude Restaurant & Bar, located at 91 High Street, South Norwood, London SE25 6EA. From the moment I arrived, the ambiance was inviting, blending modern elegance with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The highlight of my visit was the exceptional service provided by Flo. Her attentive and friendly demeanor enhanced the overall experience, making it truly memorable. Trude also features a well-curated wine bar and a nightclub with cutting-edge acoustic design, catering to those seeking a vibrant nightlife experience. For anyone looking to enjoy, social drinking, and dancing in South Norwood, I highly recommend visiting Trude Restaurant & Bar

Plush surroundings, can forget about the locality once you step inside and absord yourself in the ambience if the place. Friendly staff. Only drawback is that the stools can be a bit high. Cocktail was well made and flavoursome.

Good vibes we always have a nice time here, the only thing that prevents me giving five stars is the bar staff are super slow, holding up customers, long wait for drinks and it's quite a squeeze once it starts to fill up.

Went to this bar for a 30th birthday, lovely staff and decent priced drinks. However the place is stinky (it’s like they need to sort out their drainage system) I refused to use the toilets as I was scared I would dislike being there even more. I held onto my wee and went home.

Wasn't impressed.. Over priced cocktails, 1 member of staff was the bar staff! For a Friday night, it was empty until i entered with my friend and it was like that until i left..Overall..Boring and no vibes, no enticing to stay, so i had 1 drink & left..

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! I and a group of my girlfriends (9 of us) stopped by this place before we had to go to a 70s and 80s party. We were the only ones there considering it was a Friday night!! I have never been to this place and NEVER WILL. We had cocktails which were priced at £8.50 which were put in small wine glasses instead of your normal cocktail glasses bear in mind it didn't matter what cocktail you got they were still using small wine glasses. My friend brought 2 large wines Rose' and white wine which both came to £18.00 I then brought the same drinks and was charged £23.80 but didn't realised this until the next day. I called Trude Restaurant and explain I think I was overpriced for the wines I brought Owner then said nope that is correct glass of wine is £11.90 each!!!! Whaaat 'I said, are you telling me the wines are more expensive than the cocktails? I told her my friend was charged £13.80 for the same wines I ordered she told me the person who served her was a trainee and charged the wrong price!!! Really??? bearing in mind this trainee was on her own in the bar. I said that is OUTRAGEOUS how are you justifying charging these different prices! All she kept saying these are the prices we charged and that the supposedly Trainee charge my friend the wrong price. Not once was I offered some of my money back or am sorry just a 'don't care attitude! I am all for supporting Black business, This is one business I will not be supporting, absolutely, OUTRAGEOUS MADE UP PRICES!!! Shame on you TRUDE BAR!! The reason I have given this 1 star is it will not allow me to post this review.

Relatively new bar in the heart of South Norwood, lovely decor, clearly finding their feet, took 10/15 minutes to make a small cocktail, which would have been awful if they were busy. I'm sure this is something they can work on! Staff were friendly, drink prices a tad high, but ambiance of the place good. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Venue, Excellent service. This is a great location for somewhere local yet classy without having to travel to the City...styling is both beautiful and original creating a lovely, welcoming atmosphere as soon as you enter.. Despite the fact that the Bar was completely full, the noise level was perfect, buzzy without being deafening. The Cocktails were fun, creative, interesting, tasty. The Staff were friendly, helpful, Would highly recommend for a fun evening out.

It's really nice to go somewhere and be able to talk to your barman (mixologist) about what you really want. The ambiance was great and vibes great. I'll be back for sure. Respeck people

Attended a 50th birthday party. Nice set up and look. Staff were helpful and friendly. DJ was heavy on soul and RnB, but generally ok. Major let down was price of drinks. Only used bar downstairs where event held. Bought a coke and diet coke which cost £6.40! If they can sort out their pricing for drinks this could be a 5 star venue.

Terrible lay out, toilets are cramped and unclean. However the worst thing is the overpriced drinks. £4.50 for a bottle of water At the bar down stairs? Upstairs it was charged at £3.00?? What kind of business practise is this. Last night was the first and last time I'll be attending this place.

Celebrated my 26th birthday with my friend here and it was such an amazing experience from start to finish! The team catered to our every need, allowed us to decorate and use their facilities for our canapés. I let the bar know during our planning stages that I would be having a wide range of guests attending - family and friends of different ages / backgrounds / cultures etc and the music played kept everyone happy in both the upstairs and downstairs rooms! We will definitely be back! Thank you guys ❤️

Hosted my daughter and her friend's 26th Birthday at Trude's. What a wonderful experience! It was a very last minute decision to host a party and the attention to detail from the manager Ahmes with ensuring our wishes were fulfilled was phenomenal, from the planning stage to the implementation of the various surprises on the night. The music catered to the wide range of ages on the night. The very tasteful decor certainly contributed to an environment which was warm and welcoming. I cannot thank the staff enough for ensuring the girls birthday celebration was an enjoyable and memorable one.

Talk about Ambience, vybz and decor of a place you talk about Trudes Restaurant &Bar. My first experience there was Super amazing the bar tenders are just on point with mixing drinks etc. Security is 100 check point and safe. The music is good a good mixture for all. There are also live jazz music on certain days so all the jazz lovers be there. I start my new year off right there. I love all the lovely ppl there. Looking forward for the next event.

I wanted to hate the place, but frankly I didn't. The staff were very friendly, and while you can't really go in here for a pint, the cocktails were well made, with a certain panache. Bit perturbed by the whole facial recognition thing, which is a bit off, and I didn't experience the "club" or "restaurant", but other than that, I dunno, I may go back when particularly pickled?

I hosted a 50th birthday party and th service from arranging was fantastic. I would like to thank the manager Ahmes who was very helpful from beginning to the end. When I was first trying to find a venue it was difficult finding somewhere suitable and in south London. When I was told about Trude and went to view I was happy with the venue and the decor, and when I was given the doorstsirs club area, it was the perfect place. My event was a success and I would recommend this place if your looking to hold an event. The staff are friendly, professional. Well done.

Very friendly staff, nicely furnished and decorated place but far too expensive, especially considering the area it's in. I just came in to try this new place out and found I'd have to pay (unreasonably) £9 for a Beefeater gin plus £1.50 for a tonic. When I protested I was told that the gin is a double and I could take a single instead so I went for that. How much you think that cost, £4.50? £5? £6? Well, £7, plus the £1.50 for the tonic. No wonder there were more staff than customers on a Friday night. Also to get in I had to go through an airport style security check with my ID possibly copied and retained on some fancy terminal and a camera scanning my face. Presumably that should make me feel safe but it doesn't, it feels like a bit of an intrusion into my privacy. I probably should have left when they asked for that and saved myself the ridiculous expense.

Unfortunately like last time parts of the order was missing. Last time it was the Coleslaw that was missing from the meals and this time it was the Tru Juice drinks that was missing. On top of this the Curry Goat was cold but the rice a peas was hot so we had to put Curry Goat in the microwave for a while. It's a shame as the food is nice they just need to make sure they deliver what has been ordered and to heat it properly before sending out.
