I visited Voodoo Bar on Tuesday with my girlfriends on a break from the shopping. They have a nice garden area and some nice wines on there list, we had a pleasant lunchtime snack and the staff were attentive. I did notice on the way to the toilet that some of the interior furniture needs some upholstery work and some walls could do with a touch up but a very interesting use of colour. If I'm in the area again I may visit again depending on the weather or the volume of the music

A place I know well 15 years ago for having good pool tables and a free shot with every pint. First place I drank Guinness which they still serve. San Miguel, carlsberg, staropramen, Holstein and tuborg as well. Great looking not to expensive menu. Recommend the exmoor beef burger and goats cheese.

Great to sit outside in the Summer, not so great to sit inside in the Winter. A bit too expensive & a bit too loud, but a pretty nice bar overall.

Visited late on Sunday and was very quiet. Good relaxed atmosphere and god forbid I had a wine not a beer but found the service excellent. Decor has tried to capture the swinging sixties and to certain extent it has worked. Def go back.

Just been to the new Voodoo - never going again! went for a quiet drink on fri evening after work and yes its bigger and has better selection of beers. But we were sitting outside, the place was mostly empty and a bouncer came to us accusing us of smoking 'something' - didnt make us feel welcome at all (we werent by the way). Not nice as he was extremely aggressive. avoid

good bar, looking forward to the refurb, should be really nice and will be a good place to go

Voodoo is still a good place to go.
Drinks are a little expensive but you don't get the old alcoholics like you do in the trashy places.

Voodoo defiantely in my top 3 bars to go to in Leam.

I like Voodoo - we have never had bad service. It is cramped though, needs the layout changed around. Music is normally good but sometimes does not fit the time of day. I would not eat here because the menu is quite boring. Drinks are over-priced but there are good-looking people so it depends what your priorities are!

ahem.. living in its overated past i'm afraid.....

Overpriced for what it is, and a bit up its own arse but one of the better 'trendy bars' (not that there's any other kind in town anymore.

Wicked beer garden and decent food tho, and some lovely ladies

Loud and Brash, Beer not the best, not an experience I will repeat.

Since my last visit, things have gone down hill.

The barstaff (And I hate to point this out), the female barstaff, have become arrogant.

Its never been cheap, but nowdays there are plenty of better pubs I'd rather visit in leamington/Kenilworth

Colin_2005 - Again, why is it that any pub that has more feel to it than another genric 'holier than thou' is an old mans pub, sorry mate, trendy 'bars' (And I use the term trendy loosley) are not the be all and end all.

Having lived around London for a quite a few years I'd been a little spoilt for choice when it came down to bars. So I was pleasantly surprised with the number of good bars when I moved to Leam'.
This is defintely one of the better ones, if not the best bar. Good decor, friendly enough staff, plenty of eye candy and a good selection of drinks.
Haven't been there in the summer yet but with plenty of seating and standing room outside I'm sure it's excellent

The best bar in Lem, used to go all the time when at uni. Great Decor and atmosphere, excellent in the summer to stand outside. Good for girl spotting.

I take it the comment by 'anonymous' is by Tray as it is virtually the same time as the equally negative comments about Mumbai Bluu - get a life - or rather an old man's pub - this is another of Leam's top bars - has been now for a good 5 years - enjoy !!
colin_2005 - 7 Mar 2005 11:20
I came here a couple of years ago when I was a first year at warwick uni. I loved it. A really interesting decor and lovely cocktails...yum!
amumd - 10 Feb 2005 16:16
Stuck up bar staff, overpriced dont bother wasting your time! really not worth the effort of making your way up the stairs at front entrance to get in!!
anonymous - 2 Feb 2005 15:21
This pub sucks. i dont like to mention names (katelin) i dont know if i spealt that right, by my god teach your staff a little bit of customer service, because i will never go in there ever again, after the way she treated us. Onr the food (1 bowl of soup and 3 salads) we got told the wait was 30mins, which we accepted, but when it takes 1hour and 15 mins that is ridiculous. there was no appology for the wait, and when we asked to see the manager, she vanished in to thin air, so we had to wait 30mins to complain to her, and she was extreamly rude, still refused an appology and no discount or refund oreven a top u on our soft drinks offerd, she was abbrupt and just took the plates and walked off leaving us all fuming,so on that note it is a shame beacause 2 years ago i loved going there it was great but you just have sour faced staff with no considoration to your custonmers, i do hope you act on this because you where a great pub, but new staff are letting you down.

VooDoo is THE place to be in Leam, we go there pretty much every wkend. The girls on the bar are gorgeous, the drinks are very pricey but u pay it, the garden outside is sweet, my fave bar
anonymous - 31 May 2004 14:31

anonymous - 9 May 2004 15:30
vodoo.....full of beautiful people. excellent place and cool staffs
anonymous - 6 May 2004 16:24
Similar to 'Cuba', also in Leamington.

The bar staff are ace (The female staff are very, very attractive), and seem to know everything about all the products they stock.

Outdoors is a patio type area, with outdoor heaters that are fantastic for those late summer evenings.
Jamie - 4 Mar 2004 17:35
when i used to live there it was a nice place to go, they used to put gas heaters out in the winter and was chilled

Not bad but drinks pricey once you finally get to the bar on a Friday or Saturday night. Has a nice touch in that the more adventurous females will happily use the gent's loo when their's has a queue so be prepared to show or get an embarassing wet patch when you stuff yourself back in your trousers abit too early !
David - 29 Dec 2003 22:42
One of the best three bars in Leam !! Ignore comments like that of Mo's & check it out - sitting outside with a beer on a nice sunny day there is no where better in Leam. It is busy, but that's because its a popular place katy. Quality !!
colin - 19 Aug 2003 10:38
really really crap!!! gets too packed doormen are rude, it used to be a really good place to go to, but the barstaff all look miserable as hell now and the food is the same old menu. boring boring boring maybe should think of fixing up the paint peeling off the walls and rethink the dodgy leapord print sofa's!!!
Katy - 31 Jul 2003 00:47
uninspiring and expensive
anonymous - 31 Mar 2003 20:46
quality pub, quality service...part from this one barman with dark spiky hair, bit of a poser, thinks he's all that!can't have everything though, good bar!
Mr Mataz - 12 Jan 2003 21:29
Regarding comments made by Mark - he works there!!!
However, it is a nice place to drink when it isn't jam packed.
Laura - 12 Jan 2003 13:45
Such a wicked place to be, the staff are all wicked especially mark, he is such a fox. Lovely girl works there too, very friendly think her names Hayley. check it out, your guaranteed a wicked time. I recommend the voodoo cocktail!
Lu.x - 4 Jan 2003 23:33
