Smokies Retro Bar

Quick drinks service and good prices, esp during daytime. A mix of decor with some comfy sofas and log burner. Excellent music and party atmosphere at weekends. Renovated January 2017.

Perhaps I was there on a bad night. I would have left immediately if it wasn't for the fact I was meeting a friend there. Is described in one of the other reviews, there is a distinct aroma when you enter. It wasn't a quick visit and by 23:00 there was a visible different in the types of customers coming and going. The volume was turned up to full between the customers sitting with each other but the long distance conversations were great to listen to. Much of the conversations are not for little ears.

In a town with very little quality to offer visitors in the evening I can see how this bar has its attractiveness.

Will I go back? Perhaps for memory sake, for another catch-up with friends, definitely not.

Played pool there at the weekend , good staff, really good prices and a great pool table.

Lovely friendly staff nice beer bet it's banging later in the night, was just getting ready for it when we visited,, 👍

Fantastic Bar with a bit of Zing,
Andy or AKA 'Milli" the owner is so professional and welcoming.His staff are always very friendly and Leo does a mean cocktail.Just ask for a 'Leo'. Together with the 3am finishes, world cup football, and Sunday karaoke nights I would totally recommend a night or two at Smokies Retro Bar. It's Defo got the Zing for me. #kaboom

Played here as part of dad's army band on a Sunday afternoon, great gig and a great crowd, hope to be back in the near future.

The kind of place you would take your worst enemy and wanting to relive your teenage years.

One of those places where everyone turns around and looks at you when you walk in the door. It was fine though. Got pints and made our way to the back. Didn't stay for another cos the football was blaring. Dog friendly though!
