    Nice public house to visit. It is well laid out, quite spacious, and there is a good selection of wines and beers. The staff are pleasant and friendly. Sports TV is part of what's on offer in the Aardvark and there is an immense screen at one end of the bar area. There is also a games room which has two pool tables.

    The staff were amazing to me, they were very helpful after I accidentally tripped and hurt my toe. So I definitely rate the aardvark with an easy 5 stars. Good atmosphere and I highly recommend trying for yourselves.

    No ales on. Prices a bit steep, but then it is the City. Venue ok, plenty of screens. Decent vibe. Only 1 person serving each time we visited but got served quickly enough. No lemons for the girls Vodka and tonic.

    Libby and the team are so welcoming, the food was top notch and service outstanding. Also so nice to see a pub with clean toilets, always something I check before eating.

    A local pub to me. Visit frequently. Food quality is good and wide variety of drinks available. The staff are friendly and provide great service. Quiz night every Thursday. Live sport is always shown and has a good atmosphere. Alcohol prices are good. Definitely worth a visit and also has a beer garden.

    popped in here with my partner for a couple of drinks whilst visiting Coventry. We were served by James I believe. He was lovely and nothing was too much hassle! Will definitely visit again if we find ourselves back in Coventry! :)

    Have been regularly frequenting the Aardvark to watch F1 this season with a small group of friends. Staff welcoming & friendly. It has many screens even own booths which can have different sports on. Plenty of good value pub food and well priced beer. A great place to watch sport or simply go for a drink. Definitely our new go to venue for the F1. A special mention to Bethany for brilliant service with a smile.

    Had a wonderful time with my partner just visiting. Walked past and the flowers brought me in, was nice to see a floral display outside. Food was lovely, I was told the chef was Scott who made lovely food, we went for the small plates between us which was filling and tasted lovely. James behind the bar was very chatty and friendly and we had a good laugh with him. He made us feel at home. I’ll definitely look to come back again in the future.

    This place is fast becoming a favourite of mine. Drinks are reasonably priced, well I would say that after living in London. Decent pint of Stella and they also do a laphroaig 10 year old. Great for watching sport or simply sitting in and reading. Not seen any trouble and the food is great whether it's the bacon and cheese burger or the small plates, the katsu chips are a fav of mine. So massive compliments to the chef. Bar staff are polite, friendly and attentive. Samantha made sure on Saturday I could hear my team Everton get beaten by man utd and Bethany G (Bee Gee as I call her as she can sing like them, I urge all to ask her to belt out a few bars of staying alive) tonight greeted me with a smile and the word "Stella". Who doesn't like having a pint poured before you can ask "how are you?" As long as I'm in Coventry this will be a place of choice. Only negative I think of is that you have to ask the staff what their names are, a name badge would make life easier.

    Great local bar, relaxing and good croud with good sport coverage. Beth G behind the bar is a star, so helpful, lifts my mood and always welcoming. Sam also makes a point of making sure customers feel special. Thank you guys, only here 3 weeks but I didn't feel alone.

    I have been going here for a very long time and it always has a great atmosphere. The size of the building is great with many different seating areas. With a great range of drinks and food at a good price. It has a great vibe and can get busy at weekends or for big sporting events. Great place and lovely staff.

    Great place for food and drinks staff are friendly and happy to help. The food came out quickly and hot with plenty of options to choose from.

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 1 year ago on Google
    Neat pub off the main road. Had live karaoke going which I’ve yet to find anywhere else in the UK, so that was entertaining to say the least. Nice selection of beers, only 2 bartenders but they did a good job tending to the masses. Plenty of seating to host larger groups which was nice, wasn’t as crammed in as other pubs around. Never tried the planet ale before it was crisp and refreshing!

    Typical pub with great atmosphere and food. Not much to it. Had nice tables to sit at and a lively outdoor area. We were obviously outsiders but treated well and would go back again.

    Absolutely loved this pub, my dad and I came down for a concert and spent most of our time in this pub. Foods cheap and excellent, drinks well priced and excellent, bar staff well trained and lovely to chat to. If your around Coventry visiting I recommend a visit to this pub.

    Very nice pub, staff were excellent, was a little empty probably due to covid 19. Beer was excellent. Enjoyed my visit.
