Cosy Club

One of my personal favourites in Leicester and a place that wasn’t too negatively affected by the pandemic and lockdowns. So I am really glad it is still around.

Staff are always nice and friendly, not long of a wait to sit or when ordering any food or drinks too. It is a lot larger than most people actually expect, a large dining area and a good sized lounge area. They even have more room downstairs next to the toilets.

The mood and atmosphere is my favourite thing about this place, always a chilled vibe.

This was our first time visiting, it was a really nice setting and the cocktails were lovely, the food was average, both the steak dishes were very fatty pieces of steak and the chicken dish as you can see from the photo was burnt and extremely dry, I’m surprised they sent it out burnt but as we had evening plans we did not have time to return the dish, overall an ok experience.

Great restaurant and pub in the city.
Has a wide variety of dishes.
Drinks are good.
The restaurant is upstairs and they have an area for big groups downstairs.
Ideal to go with friends.
Closes at 1 am in the weekend.
Very nice couch in bar area.
Medium price.

Stunning venue. Visited just for drinks on this occasion and were lucky enough to find a free table. Team were super attentive in clearing tables as guests departed.
Super warm atmosphere - definitely want to revisit !

Visited again recently and the same standard continued 5 months later !

Fabulous restaurant and bar in Leicester. Great space, which used to be a factory, with lots of tables. We went for brunch and there was a great choice of dishes. Service was very friendly and efficient, we didn't have to wait long for our food and it was fantastic. All the staff were lovely and we were made very welcome. I can't wait to go again for lunch or dinner next time.

Visited with a group of 6 for lunch. Restaurant was pretty quiet with only 3/4 other tables occupied but service was still slow to start with, we had to ask to take food drinks/order whilst staff were putting cutlery and glasses out on other tables. Once service started the food and drinks came promptly and the food which we had was well presented and tasted great. I did find a hair in my food, but overall the experience was OK and I would probably give 3.5ish / 5 but have rounded up. I like the choice on the menu and hope my experience was just a one off.

Disappointing …

Staff - Having pondered the menu and made a choice I went to the bar to order the golden glow smoothie. I was told they didn’t have it available. Madly, the bar doesn’t have a menu! So having returned to my table, chosen again and returned, I was then told the morning greens smoothie wasn’t on either. Before returning I asked if any smoothies were available and after she punched the keys a few times I got a “ohh no sorry, seems we don’t have the stuff to make smoothies”. Clueless and you’d have thought the waitress would have told me this when she handed me my menu and asked if I had any allergies! But alas, I observed the same sketch with a family of 6. Staff do not communicate at all and they’re pretty inept.

Place - A nice lazy Sunday morning place with a nice vibe, where 3 of the 12 breakfast options are vegan - vegan sausage brioche bun, smashed avocado and their vegan garden breakfast …

Food - Vegan Garden Breakfast £10.50. Scrambled turmeric tofu, harissa beans, avocado, vine tomatoes, mushroom, spinach, toasted sourdough with vegan butter. It was nice but it wasn’t scrambled tofu at all - it was turmeric on cubes of tofu which were grilled so the edges were hard and crispy. The harissa beans were simply a ramekin of beans with harissa oil on top which made it oily failing to impart any harissa flavour. All in all, nice but don’t expect what’s written on the menu!

Tea £2.55. Nice but having to pay an additional 45p for oat milk over soya! £3 … Really?

Would I return? Probably not because there are better places with better service and I’m likely to get what’s on offer.

Would I recommend? I’d recommend Prana Cafe as they do a better vegan breakfast with more choices and the most fantastic selection of teas.

This is a great place to hangout with your friends and family. It's embodies its name as it is very cosy. The look from outside is very deceptive as it appears small but it is quite spacious. It has a vintage vibe to it. Staff don't have a uniform which adds to the quirkiness. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty and enjoyable. I would definitely be coming back here.
