The 30 Best Unique cocktail bar experience in Croydon

“Came from Australia to see family and an awesome pub with great beer and drinks to have a great experience. Staff were amazing and know how to make a good espresso martini. Definitely be back.”

“No longer Aqua. Noto Italian restaurant and café. My mixed grill was very good and I was full. Wife had seabass and said it was tasty. They are going to have jazz and r n b lunchtimes in the near future so give it a try and a follow.”

“I had an amazing afternoon at The Store. The service was outstanding. The manager was welcoming and kind. I came to do some work during their Friday hotdesk session. She let me know where the sockets were for my laptop, welcomed me to make myself comfortable, and kept checking if I was okay. I ended up eating from the hotdesk menu, where you can get unlimited coffee. I had two meals, both were really nice and well presented. I called my brother to join me because it was so nice and he came and we had cocktails to end a successful work session. They were delicious also. It was fairly quiet in there. When I first arrived there was a lovely mum and baby club at the back in a separate space, so there was plenty of space to sit and feel comfortable. I usually use headphones when I’m out but the vibe was good and the music was comforting so I didn’t use my headphones. The restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere and stunning decor. I felt really focused. The lights that hang over the tables could do with a wipe though, as there was some dirt that looked like it might fall into the table. One of those things that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Overall it was a brilliant spot and I will be visiting much more regularly now. Highly recommended.”

“I recently dined at Crown & Pepper, and I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service provided by one of the staff members. From the moment we were seated, Rohit went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly special. No matter how many questions we had about the menu, ingredients, or even recommendations, Rohit was always there with a friendly smile and a detailed answer. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they patiently explained everything we needed to know, making sure we felt comfortable with our choices. Whether it was dietary restrictions, customization requests, or even just curious inquiries about the dishes, they were attentive and accommodating every step of the way. What really stood out was their genuine enthusiasm for making our experience enjoyable. They checked on us regularly, ensuring our needs were met without being overbearing. The level of care and attentiveness we received was truly above and beyond. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to customer satisfaction, and it made our meal all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a dining experience where you feel truly taken care of, I highly recommend visiting crown & pepper and asking for Rohit. Their exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will definitely be coming back thanks to their outstanding hospitality.”

“Myself and my daughter went for dinner expecting a nice pub roast, but the menu was Thai only, well we chose from the menu we ate and my God the food was absolutely out of this world great choice too, enjoyed it thoroughly.”

“Went here for a birthday dinner and wasn't expecting a good time due to the current circumstances, but we was pleasantly surprised. We were seen promptly, and was greeted by staff who were positive and making us laugh constantly. The food came quite speedily, and was cooked to great standards, especially the ribs and the burger. The service and delivery was spot on. Will definitely recommend. Special shout-out to Shannen who was an amazing waiter.”

“The overall dining experience was truly delightful, and the food comes in very generous portions. I ordered the Lamb Cutlets, which is my preferred dish at every restaurant I visit, and the serving here was easily the best size I have ever encountered. The dish consisted of four substantial pieces, and the portion was definitely satisfying. I left the restaurant feeling completely full and content. I would highly recommend this establishment and plan to visit again soon. The staff was also friendly and exceptionally helpful, adding to the overall positive atmosphere.”

“Cosy, welcoming micro pub with large selection of beers & spirits. Friendly landlady. Would definitely visit again.”

“I did not get a chance to take more photos because I was too excited to eat. The food is fantastic and if you crave Romanian food I fully recommend. Friendly staff (thank you to Marian especially!), quick service and *amazing* food. We're coming back for sure!”

“Superb local hostelry - great beers helpful staff. Always a great welcome”

“My favourite local pub. The best staff and exceptionally well kept beer. Punters are all friendly a real gem of a pub”

“Amazing and friendly little pub. They've got a really nice patio in the back. Great little find! Out of all the pubs in the area this is a gem!”

“I jumped on the bus going the wrong way to get home from ASDA . When I and the wife jumped off to head the right direction we decided to grab a bite when we saw the Plough. They were only serving Sunday Roast and I am extremely glad . I would have hated to have ordered something else and missed this great dish! Being from Texas there is a certain expectation when it come to cooked beef and this roast didn’t disappoint but you will pay for it. It’s a bit pricey for only 1 piece of beef but the quality was outstanding. I will return for more!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Went with a friend who recommended this place. Such a nice pub, rock music playing, friendly atmosphere and great decor. Have not tried the food yet. Have been twice and will be coming again.”

“Good local boozer, friendly staff, killer pool every Thursday and disco/DJ every Friday. Family friendly boozer at the heart of our community”

“Cute place, I didn't try the hot menu but thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Cheesecake and Coco Loco smoothie, indoor and outdoor seating and toilets provided. I already love the gardens and the cafe is just the cherry on top.”

“The fox and hound is a traditional Irish style pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Beers such as Stella, Guinness ect. No craft beers but good draft. this keeps the pub affordable. Karaoke on a Friday nights and live music on a Saturday. The Wolfe tones often play here.”

“I had the Sunday roast today and was genuinely impressed by the flavor. It was well-seasoned and, dare I say, even better than what I’ve had at Hawksmoor! I know that sounds bold, but it’s true. The service was fantastic as well; the staff were friendly and personable. The atmosphere was relaxing, making it a perfect spot to unwind. This place is truly a gem in Croydon, and I’ll definitely be coming back often!”

“We held our Christmas party at Project B last night. It was such a fun time in a fabulous venue! The staff were friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us including setting up table tennis! The DJ mixed in our favourite requests and kept us dancing through the night. I would highly recommend Project B.”

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“Really affordable prices. Inside it sadly lacks character. It could do with reflecting its rich musical history with pictures of the artists and some text. Staff very friendly. Pool table and dart board.”

“Had a lovley time on Saturday here unfortunately the kareoke is not on but the landlord played any music we requested and gave us free shots the staff were warm and welcoming and will definitely be going back thanks to all wirking we were truly looked after”

“This wonderful Irish pub located near east Croydon., provided us a joyful experience. I ate may fish'n chips, but none compare with orchard's The attendants were kind end helpful. Thank you all”

“We went on a weekday, so I’m sure the vibe will be different at the weekend. We were the only ones there for a good 30-40 mins (7.15pm on a Thursday), but a few more people came in afterwards. Don’t let it deter you though - the food was phenomenal & the service was on point. The food is some of the best indo-chinese I’ve had!”

“We had the most fantastic afternoon celebrating my dads birthday at Renzo and Mauro. We were a big table to look after, but the service was outstanding and the food was absolutely perfect. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough, we will definitely be back!”

“we visited at opening time for brunch. the decor has been done really nicely - great menu, good coffee, really friendly service, generous portions & delicious fresh juices. will definitely visit again”

“We recently visited again after a gap of circa 3 yrs. We were very pleased with the back to usual high standards. Food was fabulous and so was the service. Truly surprised and would like to visit again. Parth our waiter was very friendly and efficient, THANK YOU. As for service charge that some ppl ate cribbing about, do note its purely optional but we decided to pay as both service and food quality were of very high standards. Thanks and look forward in dining again.”

“I have been here many time the food here really nice not to mention their 241 cocktail that they do everyday. The staff are really friendly. I do prefer this one compared to the one in Camberwell. Definitely come here”
