    PAY ATTENTION to the reviews for the correct location you're inquiring about! There are several local locations and they're all different with different experiences. This has been our "go to" dinner and weekend lunch spot for over 25 years. The ambiance is cool and comfy and the managers are awesome! The food overall is consistent, but if you're not happy they will make it right! Our fav is the Grilled chicken sandwiches and homemade chips.

    Great food, ambiance and fancy drinks. We had fish and tater tots, chicken tacos and adobo tacos.

    Though we've been to Gecko's Grill restaurants before..... We've just not been to this Bradenton location. It's back towards a Publix grocery store plaza. We were heading back from the Tampa, FL RV Show....it was time for lunch. Stopped at Gecko's Grill for a beer and we were greeted with a friendly smile once inside the door. We explained we were going to eat at the bar. Our Bartender, Ken, was quite pleasant. Ken promptly got our drinks and then we ordered their Grilled Cuban sandwich with homemade fries and a side of coleslaw. Large enough to share if your not very hungry. (which we did). Delicious !!

    The pub is located in a small strip center that is a bit rundown. You can't determine if they are…read moreopen from the front windows. Try the door, they are probably open. My son-in-law and I visited them on Easter Sunday and they were open, Premier Football (soccer) matches draw patrons. There are an ample amount of tables but most of the crowd sits at the bar positioning themselves for proper screen viewing. We sat at a table with countertop chairs. You can smell that smoking has been allowed, although none of the customers were imbibing at the time. I also did not see ashtrays at the bar. Our goal was simple, order an authentic English Breakfast. Champions appear to be a basic mom-and-pop restaurant. Pop takes the orders and tends bar, mom is in the kitchen preparing orders. I ordered a small breakfast which I will share in an attached photo. The order was huge. The full breakfast has an additional egg and double meat. English breakfasts include eggs, fried bread or toast, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, bangers, and ham. I suggest ordering a small breakfast unless you are beyond hungry. I have been fortunate to enjoy a proper English Breakfast in the UK and what Champions prepares is the real deal. One of the others ordered curry chicken and I'm disappointed that I didn't try it, but it is on my list for the next time I visit. Bottom line, I highly recommend Champions Pub if you enjoy British food, or enjoy European Football. I will rate this a five-star meal, but overall I will give it a four only because of the smoking atmosphere.

    Champions pub is great fun we have a great time there's Darts and pool great atmosphere,…read more everyone's friendly food is yummy highly recommend Bartender is great we love going there
