Birdies and barrels — Restaurant in Somerset

My wife and I dropped in last Friday evening for a glass of wine (which was a little pricey). We didn't order food. I thought the place was clean, cozy, and inviting. The bathroom was very clean. The bartender was polite and informative. I liked the atmosphere. I'd suggest a gas fireplace or even an electric one over by the sofas under where the TVs are mounted.

I stand there waiting to order when they approach me but they never approach. The drinks are good when you finally get one. The lounge-like furniture gives off a nice relaxing atmosphere if you're able to sit down and...

I recently visited this bar with high hopes, but unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The service was subpar, and the quality of the drinks was not up to standard. The most disappointing thing was the rudeness of the staff. A welcoming and friendly atmosphere is something I value when I go out, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. I believe that honest feedback can help businesses improve, and I hope that this review serves as an opportunity for the bar to address these issues. I would encourage the management to consider better training for their staff and pay closer attention to the quality of...
