The Athletic Club & Social

Very nicely decorated restaurant with a great cocktail list. To go downstairs in the evening to watch the Jazz shows you’ll need to book. Also book in advance if you can to reserve a spot! Very delicious food and drinks! Would have come back if we didn’t discover it at the end of the trip!

Went for a drink before closing. Beautiful two floor venue with bars on each floor. The selections was great and the barman let me try some of locally distilled gin! Its a great place to visit on any day of the week but heard that weekends get busier with many DJ's playing...

The atmosphere at Athletic Social is really lovely — cozy, stylish, and a great place to unwind. It’s a little dark inside but it’s not a train smash. Unfortunately, the drinks didn’t quite live up to the setting. The whiskey sour was super watery and not at all what we’re used to; even after sending it back, it still didn’t taste right. The pornstar martini was also pretty average and lacked the rich flavor and balance we expected. On the positive side, the tapas were much better! The octopus was absolutely delicious — tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked as well as wonderfully combined with the dip. The lamb had a great seasoning and paired beautifully with the fresh salad and soft pita. Sadly, the lamb itself was quite chewy, which made it a bit disappointing overall. There’s definitely potential here — the vibe and food have highlights — but the cocktails could use some serious attention.

Atmosphere was amazing. Sat outside on the balcony, but was a bit loud due to the road passing past the place. Cocktails were absolutely amazing and the food was good too. Could highly recommend this place to anyone. When I left it became quite busy.

We received a phenomenal service from our waitress, who looked awfully familiar to me - she is, in fact, the lead vocalist of Lady Felicity and the Trumpets. She was warm and inviting, knew the food and drinks menu well, and was highly efficient. The menu offers a small selection of items. The 4 of us all rated our choices 5*: Grilled Octupus, Aubergine Parmigiana (vegetarian), and beef fillet. Our meals were well presented, and arrived in good time even though the restaurant was extremely busy. Our dishes were packed full of flavor!! Downstairs, the restaurant has an intimate venue where artists perform. I very much enjoyed the ambiance here! Definitely not a recommendation for those who prefer to listen to a light tune playing in the background and the tinker of cutlery at tables.
