    A good place for a Sunday evening with a speakeasy vibe. Music was too loud to accompany dinner which is the reason for the 3 for ambiance.

    Bert’s bar has everything you could want for a memorable night out. We went there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The atmosphere and decor was relaxed, warm and comfortable. We found the staff to be very professional and courteous. We were given a glass of water as soon as we sat down while we looked through the innovative cocktail menu. For food we opted for the baked camembert and sharing platter of cured meats and duck liver parfait which came with lots of toasted sourdough. It was very tasty with ample food for two people sharing. The caramel baked Alaska which we shared for dessert was absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend trying it. The band were very good, providing a lovely relaxed background to the evening as opposed to feeling like you were at a show. Overall we had a really lovely enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend Bert’s bar for a great night out.

    For a mid week outing, Bert's was still busy with a friendly atmosphere. Great food and wine.
