They wouldn’t be able to hear each other speak in QOB at that time on a Friday. But to be honest for a decent bar I’m struggling in Leicester, so it’s not the worse shout. 

That's true does get a bit livelier around that time, especially this time of year I bet. Can't be as bad as that Apres Lounge (is that still there?) I think I went in there on a Friday evening around this time last year, was horrendous, squashed in like sardines and couldn't hear a thing.

They’re both bad really. I feel a tinge of sadness when I think of the Bruxelles building and its potential.

Is Cafe Bruxelles still going? That was the only place I could think of nearby that might work.

Looking for somewhere to have a few drinks in town, after a meal on Friday night. Going to Tamantanga to eat with friends (we're all quite old) and looking for suggestions for a couple of hours post meal - 9 to 11pm. Not necessarily a pub, nice bar type place would be fine. Any suggestions?

Wygstons House

 

All worth a visit. Bottle Garden gets busy so you may need to book.

I live dead close to this but my link road has no pavement. Sigh. Went once and it seems like a really nice small place. Need to go more tbh.

 

In terms of pub on Friday, how about Knight & Garter? Seems nice enough the times I've been.

Cherry Tree has noticeably recently put their prices up.

Yep. Best pub I've been to in a long time. Weird opening hours though, only really open late on Fridays.

These plus the Tree (which is deservedly getting its name back a bit)

Wyggeston House is great, weirdly if it was in another city I think it’s the sort of pub I’d appreciate its more.

The summer offering utilising jubilee square makes it unique in the city. Heaving even in midweek when it's warm.

It just about hangs on with due to the open fire and beer but my word they have spoilt a lot of what was great about the Salmon.

Had a quick Guinness in there last night which was good. Only issue is seating inside is so limited in the pub area.

The Castle Inn is ****ing brilliant. 

 

Extended it now as well, have seating in the building next door at number 7

Was always gonna happen when Alex left. They want to standardise the whole BCA estate, so it’s sellable to a bigger pub chain.

Will be interesting if it remains a wet pub, personally I hope they don’t end up doing food.

The part they've put tables in nextdoor will become a bit of a deli with pork pies, meat, sausage rolls, cheese.....

Great selection of beer for a small pub
