What a great concept..a lounge bar. Seems that England has cottoned on to a new concept. Have a…read morecosy place that represents a lounge, bar, coffee shop, restaurant all under one roof. With newspapers to read, toys for kids and a coat stand for the patrons coats. We had a meatball tapas which was good and also had a roasted beetroot and feta salad, also good. The client is school kids, n mums with babies, teenagers and older families, pensioners and couples, and it works as we had tapas and wine, teenagers were eating a full English breakfast, school kids with hot chocolate n cakes after school, tired mums with babies n toddlers. I also saw some breast feeding...everyone seemed comfortable n happy. Plenty of pictures, sofas, tables n chairs and toys dotted around..

Yelp lists…read morethis place as a bar/pub vice a restaurant...probably because of the fact that you order your food at the bar and then they'll bring it out to your table. But that's where the similarity ends compared to most UK pub 'n grubs. I found the atmosphere very relaxed and casual yet kind of chic without being snooty. The bartender and servers were all very polite and welcoming. The food was fantastic; I had the falafel burger (delicious) and lamb skewer tapas (even more delicious). Total with two glasses of wine was less than £20. Will definitely dine there again and probably have the 3 tapas special (£9.95 if I remember correctly).

My travel companion and I cannot say enough nice things about this little gem…read more For starters, in a small town of lots of over processed foods, this place offers fresh and clean foods. The coffee is good, the food is excellent (breakfast and beyond) and the staff are little rays of sunshine. The seating is indoors, outdoors, and the restrooms are clean. I'm vegetarian and he is Muslim, and we were able to find great snacks and full meals at this place without issue. If you are in Swansea - please try this place. Opens at 9 and closes at 10.

No question, 5 stars from me. I love Amoeba!…read more If you're unfamiliar with Amoeba (shame on you) then it is a little hidden gem tucked away in a backstreet of Clifton Village. They have an incredible beer selection, but for me, this place is all about the cocktails - and boy do they do good cocktails! Amoeba is small. It is set over 3 levels; ground level with a few tables, the bar is upstairs and then downstairs you'll find a few more tables and nice terrace area. The decor is dark red and it's nice and dimly lit. They have a large blackboard on the wall with a list of all of their beers and an amazing selection of spirits behind the bar. I've felt instantly comfortable and every time Ive been to Amoeba. It always has a great atmosphere and it isn't what you'd expect from a cocktail bar in Clifton. It's nowhere near as pretentious or uninviting as Hausbar up the road. There's no door knocking here! They had a decent DJ (although he was sat down, ha) and the staff were great. I said I wanted a gin based cocktail with some kind of berry influence - I got exactly that! I've no idea what it was called, but it was GOOD! This is one of the best bars in Bristol, in my eyes!

Seeing as it's national poetry day I thought I'd do my review as a poem…read more Amoeba is a cosy cafe bar If you're in Clifton you would go far To find a better cocktail Or even a tea would never fail The decor is dark red and antique Fabulous and oblique There's plenty to look at And not only that The bar staff know every liquor And they'll make a perfect drink quicker So if you were um-ing and ah-ing Amoeba has the perfect thing!

Bristol University is infamous for having a quite posh student body. Not sure how true this is but…read moreit certainly seems the case when you go to Lizard Lounge. Lots of Jack Wills on display and many refined accents to be heard. Not quite sure why the great and the good of Bristol's students choose this place as their hang out. Yes, it is in desirable Clifton, but its small, crowded and just not that nice. You can queue up and spend lots of money at a lot better places just a stones throw away. You may well see a few bottles of champagne being opened here and probably a fair few cocktails. It's all quite rah, to use a Bristol phrase, and very cheesy. Most definitely not my cup of tea, but there's certainly a type that likes it. Go to Lizard Lounge to spend some time amongst Bristol well spoken students and sip some bubbly in a bit of a hole of a setting.

My first one star review is reserved for a truly horrendous place…read more I am easily pleased: I like good music, a moderate to good choice of drinks, I don't even care what a place looks like, I don't usually even mind if the staff are nice to me, so hopefully you'll know when I say I dislike a place there is a pretty good reason why. I have nothing against people who choose to project the image that they (their parents) have lots of money, even when they don't, or that they think having money is the most important thing in the world. I don't mind peroxide blondes who are too posh to wash and don't know their arse from their elbow, and have a very suspicious tan considering it's the middle of November (?). I don't mind guys being so impressed by themselves for playing rugby that they look forward to taking their shirts off and trying to fight you. Oh wait...yes I do. This 'club' epitomises everything I hate about the bar industry in Bristol. It is not acceptable to take people's money and offer them this experience in return. The music is literally so bad, don't be surprised if you find yourself trying to dance to Agadoo. The bar serves some strange brand of watery vodka I have never heard of and men in the men's toilet urinate in the sink because they can't be bothered to queue for a urinal. The urinals also get blocked so you are wading in the over flow. Don't forget you paid for this privilege. A close friend of mine actually watched a girl vomit on the floor and continue to kiss the guy she was dry humping against a wall. It is a truly soulless experience. If you hate music, and culture, hate yourself and literally expect nothing from your night out, this is the place for you. You see I don't know how much of this is the fault of the Lizard Lounge itself. You see all they've done is open some grotty looking club (think gypsy wedding/social club) and sell dirt cheap vodka (except at weekends) and play terrible music but yet they seem to make money and attract patrons. So who are the fools. But the lizard lounge does service a purpose; it keeps a good number of people away from the better places in town.

The latest of the local Lounges to spring up in the city, this one is housed in a former bank in…read moreTotterdown. It very much follows the formula of the others in the small chain, with an identical menu and even the same pictures adorning the walls. Where I would say this is inferior to the original Bedminster-based establishment is that it's far smaller, with too many tables and chairs crammed in. Consequently it gets a bit crowded and waits at the bar can get a bit tedious. However, the reason that it always seems to be busy is that the food is very good and very reasonable. I would personally recommend the sweet chilli chicken panini with chips and salad for just £6, though this remains very much somewhere I would pop in for some grub (including breakfast - they open at 9am), than actually sit down and drink for more than a quick pint.
