12/07/2025: Lovely big beer garden, authentic pizza (cash only)

10/07/2025: I was in here before the Celtic match. The place was mobbed but the staff were superb at getting people served. A good boozer with a good atmosphere and a decent pint of Murphys.

25/04/2025: We loved eating at Soba for the second time, it’s a great place. The food is really tasty, but the service is the best! The waitress was very kind and careful. We are very happy to have this place close to home. Thank you!

01/02/2025: I had a lovely meal in Soba yesterday with my colleague. Beautiful food and the staff were so lovely especially Ren. 10/10 will be back

09/05/2025: Beautiful dinner experience, just a burger and a cheese plater but gosh it was good! Such a bliss to be waited by Ana. Very professional team. Good food. Highly recommend it!

06/08/2025: Always incredible pizza and service. Lovely staff and cosy atmosphere. The vegan cheese is delicious too! Potatoes are ok but I’d love if they added chips to the menu. The pizza is so delicious we don’t mind though .

28/01/2025: Disfrutamos de la cocina francesa - influenciada en este restaurante. El filete de filete y la caña de cordero estaban sabrosos. El pescado y las patatas fritas, lento - carne de res y hongos de ajo estaban deliciosos

30/05/2025: Delicious food. Braised Beef Nooodle and Chicken Curry are the best.

10/05/2025: Delicious, tasty food. Way ahead of other Asian / Chinese take out in the area. Best Chow Mein I’ve ever had!!!

19/07/2025: Fast, delicious and helpful, a great place to relax or work.

26/06/2025: Loved this place. Great value for money and lovely staff. Delicious food.

25/06/2025: Akira is a really nice spot modern, simple, and relaxed. The place looks clean and stylish. We went for dinner and shared some sushi, rolls, and the miso soup. Everything was fresh and tasty, not too fancy but done really well. The staff were friendly and chill, just the right amount of attention. It’s a great place if you want good Japanese food without it being too formal. Not super cheap, but fair for what you get. I’d definitely go again.

10/08/2025: Venue is great and the music is brilliant.Everyone is so friendly.🙂

28/07/2025: Loved the place but the sound needs a lot of work.

05/06/2025: Had the beef stew cooked to perfection reasonably priced will be back

15/04/2025: It was nice to sit in the English Market with that authentic atmosphere and have nice cup of tea. Caramel cheesecake was our favourite.

14/08/2025: Awful. They put in the self ordering, but it does not give you a printout of your order number. So good luck with that. The order was then up as served, but without the drink. There was a guy pulling drinks, when I asked him for the drink to match my order, he tells me he doesn't know what drink I ordered. So I grabbed one from the lined up selection. Just to make my experience more miserable, I put sugar in my chips. D'oh!

08/08/2025: The service is the best, a super friendly girl, I would come back.

26/05/2025: Great pub, had not been in for 40 years. Lovely refurbishment. Plus great food. Must visit again

12/04/2025: The Southern Star is a lovely little bar. A small front pub area with some secluded tables, an area towards the back with ledges against the wall, a pool table (with terrible cues,) and a nice smoking area sitting above the South Link. It’s a little on the expensive side but what you pay for the booze is more than made up for with the atmosphere and setting. They were happy for me to taste the wine (a Pinot noir) while a woman I met there that night was only delighted to let me taste her rosé. Both wines were superb and it’s telling the people were relaxed enough straight from my arrival to share their drinks. They had the Manchester United game on the TV and I’m sure they show the rugby as well. I was hungry and asked for some Scampi Fries but they didn’t have them. Instead they gave me a free bag of Snax. Some friends (one a Jameson drinker) are interested in going, too, and I told them the burgers looked exceptional value. The only questions are when the food truck is open, if they do chips, and the whiskey drinker wanted to know if you get chips with your burger? I think she wants to dip into her partner’s grub... A warm and cosy bar — with space for a smoke if needed — it’s a pub I’d love to take my nearly seventy year old mother to to watch a Munster game, or my buddies who need a break from their kids (or they could bring their kids knowing it’s a fine family friendly place.) Me Mam would definitely love it and my buddies already do; as did I on my night in there. Patti Smith and Black Sabbath playing on the speakers was just the icing on the cake, me bopping away! I’ll be back, if they’ll have me!
