| Lacks charactor, but isn't as bad as previous reviewers indicate. Nice spot on the canal. Four ales, which were all on and tasted fine. Food not bad either. Nice patio area to sit on a sunny afternoon. TheHorsesMouth - 30 May 2008 15:36 |
| Cracking pub. Very modern and trendy. Good for a quick drink after work and sitting by the canal or for a few drinks on a night out. Worth a visit. Gem1800 - 27 Jun 2007 12:29 |
| Wouldn't let my mate in as he was wearing shorts, so we took out money to Peveril of the Peak. Bunch of wasters and we will never return. JonW999 - 11 Jun 2007 21:33 |
| Trash. Lee's should be ashamed off themselves. Aggresive and impolite doorstaff. Beer is consistently off. My advice is try the nearby Peveril of the Peak, Britons Protection. Or go home with a bottle of Meths. anonymous - 16 Apr 2007 22:09 |
| Had a very bad experience in here about a month ago. It was a very busy friday evening, and I couldn't get a seat anywhere, so though i'd pop in to Rain bar as I'd never given it a go. Thankfully there were some seat in the upstairs area with only a few people drinking in (it was packed downstairs). Thus I counted my lucky stars and my friends went off to buy th round, I sat down, directly in fron of some of the staff who were busying themselves at the (closed) upstairs bar. Clearly my friends took a while as it was crowded and about 5-10 minutes later they returned with my pint. However, with barely a sip gone from my pint we were rather bruskly informed that the area was closing. This in itself seems absurd as it was a very crowded evening, with little standing room downstairs, and the only reason why we were in the establishment was because it was the only place we could find seats. However, it was not this that wrangled the most; what really put me off was the aggresive, impolite manner in which we were told to leave - I was in the middle of recording a phone number of a mate and tried to finish this process before moving along, only to be treated like trespassers rather than paying customers. Needless to say I shan't be returning any time soon. bensonby - 14 Mar 2007 14:37 |
