The Bless — Restaurant in England

Not been to the Bless for a very long time and I won't be rushing back. As always the security staff on entry were rude. Why do we have to pay them £1? Where does the money go to? Some of the bar staff weren't very friendly either! The music was good but didn't have much variety. There was glass all over the floor and the place was littered with drunk people who should have been ejected in my opinion. The worst thing was the end of the night. We were confronted by a very large member who telling us to leave in a very aggressive manner. We were waiting for one of our group to return from the toilets, before we left. This"gentleman" decided that wasn't acceptable. I have never known anything like it. Please tidy...

First visit since my early 20s.... about 18 years ago, it's the same....but different.

Visited mid afternoon on a Saturday and it was fairly quiet and relaxed, had a couple of beers and one of the best pizza's I've eaten.

Back in the early 2000s it was the place to be for alternative/Indie music and a great night out....I suspect it's the same now. The range of alcoholic drinks is massive with spirits, wine, cask ales, draft beers, cans, bottles and cider alongside drinks offers.

Food is available fairly late and is really good, although I did miss the stotties of my younger days.

I suspect that it gets extremely busy and a little messy later on (they're open til 2), I also suspect it's...

Love this place, the drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is great. One fault I would say it has (bear in mind this isn't entirely the staff's fault) is that it is very difficult to get a drink when it is even slightly busy. People tend to hover around the bar and the large columns every meter or 2 takes up a large area that could be used to wait to be served.

A lot of people start in Wetherspoons for a few drinks and to meet their friends and I would recommend going here after that to get a few stronger drinks in the system for cheap. Then onto places like Jorrocks, Mosh, Pop world, whatever...
