It's had a complete makeover, similar to the White Horse (which is the best pub in Leam since its makeover imho). Now known as "Bohemia at the Willoughby" - all unusual chairs and expensive German weissbiers on tap. Miles better than it used to be, though I've only been once since the makeover on an afternoon so haven't had a chance to check it out on an evening.

The Willoughby, what can you say?? Not a Pretentious bar like the rest of town. A range of all musical tastes, good food, good value, amazing women behind the bar. Great atmosphere. Wednesday Karaoke, fantastic!! New Pink Night on a Sunday. Fridays & Saturdays a great laugh.

This place has gone really down hill the whole pub is an absolute shit hole there is often no toilet roll,or lights in the toilet or the doors are hanging off,it looks like it hasnt been cleaned in ages,floor,windows,everywhere and the staff still seem to have time to sit down by the fire place playing with laptops,vote with your feet and give your custom to a pub that appreciates you

Nice enough bar for watching footie on the plasmas. You couldn't see anything on the big screen though. Bar staff were quick and friendly, and the all day breakfast was a good feed too.

Best bar in town for the World Cup, Was packed to the rafters on saturday, See you all there later!

Remember it when it was Styles Apart, it was full of chavs pretty much like Murphy's and the Birch and Billycock (Voodoo)

Nice now, Steve Haines plays House in there which is good, people don't know how good they have it, he's a top dj showcasing the most up front of tunage, got potential to be the new Winstons if they hammered out some trance hehe

Burn baby burn, the kitchen caught fire. Still, at least the beer is still flowing.

was by far the best pub in town during christmas. didnt over do it with schmaltzy christmassy stuff, but still felt right. busiest bar in town on xmas eve. gorgeous staff, good beer, and great for footy too!

This is by far the best bar (rather than pub) in town. Mainly unpretentious, no chavs, not too expensive. Recommended if you're out in town.

Leamington doesn't have many bars that are quiet enough to enjoy a morning fry up while reading the paper and also packed to the brim on the weekends. Great decor, perfect atmosphere and nicely hidden away in the back streets of leamington. Oh, and Chav free

Expect gorgeous barstaff and excellent service. If only they opened till 1!

Took me ages to get served in the afternoon, stood at the bar had to wait for staff to appear. When she did she seemed annoyed i was even there! Shame, is a nice place otherwise, weekends especially.

i go there for lunch, the food is good for a quick lunch hour and the staff, with the exception of one are usually lovely. Perfect for a glass of wine after work too! 9/10 , Keep up the good work!!!

Dave, there is both a big screen and a wall mounted plasma in The Willoughby, so its going to be the place to go in Leamington for Euro2004 without the louts!

I think the willoughby is proper bo!! if you go often enough you find yourself getting more and more friends. its great. A shortage of glasses some times, but i guess some do get dropped as your always busy. Best pub in leamington by far no where else provides good service plenty of room and good music. Just need a coupl of TVs for football!!

Excellent.

The perfect blend of class, and volume of guests. The place is always busy at the weekend, but your never waiting more than 5 minutes to be served.

With great music from local DJ's (Again, mostly ambiant, seems to be a trend in Leamington) and a rasied balcony overlooking both the bottom floor, and the street outside.. This is one of my 3 Fav's in Leamington.

Not to be missed.

quality tunes..
What more do you want!!!!!

This pub is up to date, funky and perfect for a night on the town. I have to say though, the balcony and the irresistable strawberry cocktails did it for me!!

TOP MARKS! I would go every day of the week if I could!


Emily - 21 Aug 2003 17:31
So much better, Great music and smiling staff.... Rare in this town!!!!
Katie Wallis - 19 Aug 2003 10:42
Dave is right - best bar in Leam at the mo - the refurbishment is a great improvement - looks good, great bar staff, quality guinness & now you can watch the footie in there too - Superb !!

Just been Refurbished and structurally hasn't changed too much. But the change in atmosphere is amazing! What was a quiet little bar, full of middle aged wine drinkers who complained about todays modern music has been completely changed.

The coolest bar in leam now, great music, gorgeous staff, just a brilliant night out! Upstairs bar is a stroke of genius, and the women love the strawbrry cocktails!
