Funky Flamingo Southampton - Lounge & Roof Garden — Restaurant in Southampton

LIE ABOUT DRINK PRICES-

Very upset with the service received on a Tuesday at funky flamingo. On the website and on the drinks menus it's clearly stated that from Sunday to Thursday ALL cocktails are 2 for £10. The first rounds of drink ordered i paid £10 for the 2 drinks

HOWEVER, upon ordering the second round of drinks, they informed me (and the group i was with) that actually only the first 6 drinks from the top-down on the drinks menu are included in the 2 for £10. Bearing in mind that there are 18 cocktails "supposedly" included in the 2 for £10. I was then charged full price (£18) for the second round of cocktails. Bar staff claim "they made a mistake with the original prices" on the first round despite the promised 2 for £10 deal which is LEGALLY BINDING as it is stated in two different formats.

This is very upsetting as I have been here multiple times before and never had an issue with the service or prices. Only on this day when it was busier than usual did they decide to jack up the cocktails prices after we were sat down and settled.

Coincidence? I think not. would not recommend the bar if you're looking for friendly service and good quality drinks at a...

I struggle with mobility but the web site said there was a lift so didn’t think it was an issue. but unfortunately there wasn’t. However, when I asked the guy on the door about the lift he immediately smiled and said I can help you and put his arm out to me and helped me to get up the stairs. A total gentleman. The food was very simple but nice, although it would have been better if starters and sweets were on the menu. The atmosphere was lively but the music was a little too loud and meant conversations with people around the table were quite difficult. The roof garden was lovely and obviously a very popular place which meant a lack of seating for those who ate in the restaurant and went onto the roof garden after the meal. All of the staff were very attentive and offered great customer service but I noticed all but a couple looked quite serious and no smiles. Although they made sure everyone had everything they needed they didn’t appear to be the happiest of teams. It’s amazing how much the experience would have been so much better if there were a few smiles. But to be fair it was very busy and...

Came here for my friend’s 21st birthday yesterday and had a lovely afternoon. We’ve been before on several occasions and it’s always been amazing! They do shot limbo now too which was funny and we got a free shot of tequila rose out of it.

Food - Salt and Pepper chicken is literally incredible. Would highly recommend. Portions were generous too . Staff, think she was called Emma, came to check that we were enjoying our food. Didn’t even have to ask for sauces etc as they had already brought them with the food.

Drinks - cocktails were banging. Archie was our bartender and went above and beyond. We popped up to the bar to ask for vodka instead of gin in one of the jugs and there was no issue, he was so nice to us. The waitresses were all very attentive too. We never had an empty glass.

Atmosphere - roof garden is just stunning. Absolute sun trap as well. Everything is well maintained and clean even though it’s outside. Music was also good. Was a mixture of rnb, pop, and sing-along classics. .

10/10. Would...
