    Great little spot at the centre of Coventry. Came here with some friends after a meal out and really enjoyed the vibe. A good range of drinks and when we visited and they served Indian food from a nearby takeaway which was a nice touch. Staff were also very friendly, would recommend

    I came here with couple of friends for some light food and drinks. A big shoutout to Sofia and her team, they look after you from the moment you walk in until you leave, making sure you have a fantastic time. The atmosphere is fantastic, as are the vibes. Their customer focus and warmth compelled me to return the very following day. Sofia and her crew are fantastic when it comes to recommending the ideal drink for you. They have a nice selection of drinks. DJ Steve was also fantastic. The best experience I've ever had in a bar or pub. I strongly recommend it.

    Lovely bar with some very interesting cocktails and really friendly staff. Enjoyed a nice quiet drink (or two) with some live music. Will come again!

    What an experience being in such a small but stunning old looking church spire turned into a gorgeous bar 😊 I was totally blown away by the beauty in here and how welcoming the staff were. Such a good experience. Drinks were amazing.

    Went a month ago, the bar inside smells so nauseatingly sweet it was hard to be inside. Though the staff were polite and thoughtful, the food (which is made off site apparently) took an exceedingly long time to come out. This was not the fault of the staff in the bar but the staff and delivery from off site. The food wasn’t great. Dishes which were not chips were padded with chips and wasn’t very flavourful or warm.

    Haven't tried the food but drinks were great! Appleton for the whiskey lovers and Velvet for refreshing tequila based drink!

    We ordered Two Mojito's that had to be ordered at the out door tables via an app. Even though there was a completely empty bar we were directed by a disinterested female member of staff to an outdoor table. The Mojito's were tasteless and I'll prepared. No crushed mint and lime no sugar and just an unprepared branch of a mint plant thrown in, please see the picture. Not a good choice for a night out, we didn't finish our drinks and as we were leaving the girl didn't question if everything was ok seeing the half consumed drinks left on the table.

    A unique little bar in the middle of Coventry, but well stocked. Good range of cocktails - Sofia prepared a perfect bourbon old fashioned, with real care. Great job. Visit, look at the ceiling too!

    It used to be better. It had an authentic atmosphere for the cool people in the area. Now it’s become just another overpriced bar but inside a church. I’ve got nothing against the new management, it’s just sad everything is the same nowadays.

    Went here after a works colleague recommendation and what a find! Great house brewed beer, some decent snacks and the friendliest waiters ever that couldn’t do enough from you. I sat in one of those little huts and they got lights and heaters :) needed on a cold day. Even offered me to charge my phone so I don’t have to charge it on my laptop!

    Had bottomless brunch. The food was unbelievable, drinks were quick and generous, and Charlotte, our waitress, was just so lovely! Could not recommend enough for the price and friendly atmosphere!

    Went to a comedy night. Great bar with outside seating area. Beautiful building. Serves hot drinks. No food on site, but they can order in for you from a local restaurant.

  • 4/5 Tamsyn B. 2 years ago on Google
    They have done so well with this small space, the outside pods are nice and have heaters to keep you warm - just a little slow and the doors being stuck open meant cold still came in. We were the only customers here and you can tell it's run by friends, this doesn't mean they have terrible service as our drinks came out fast and they were quick to help us sort the heater and turn down the music. We tried the strawberry daiquiri and the indecent exposure on the 2 for £12 cocktails and I would definitely recommend both.

    Absolutely amazing cocktails. 2 for £12 and they’re all made fresh. So much better that than the pre-made ones in other places. Decor is beautiful and general atmosphere is lovely. Best place for cocktails in Coventry.

  • 5/5 Sarita B. 5 months ago on Google
    I am an non drinker among my friends but I still enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere from Sofia and team. They provide great recommendation on drinks and food, we had to revisit the place the next day due to her persona and happening place. But didn’t get disappointed, had DJ Steve playing his great collection on Friday Night and also an Indian Song on request Jai Ho!!!

  • 3/5 Shaun J. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice bar set inside an old church tower, outdoor seating is great with some background music giving atmosphere. Beer ok but the glasses were filthy, obviously an issue with their glass washing machine that needs to be sorted out

  • 5/5 J P. 5 months ago on Google
    A great bar in the heart of Coventry. If you want a local then it makes a great local, if you want a more up market bar then it’s equally at home playing that role and if you want to sit in the sun or under the lights outside then again it’s a lovely spot . A very unusual setting with a great atmosphere, even if only a few people are in during the early part of the evening. A good selection of food and some great flavours. Special mention to the manager, Sofia who makes everyone so welcome and really does understand the art of customer care - a real asset and a credit to Dhillons

  • 5/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good selection of beers on tap (The Brut is particularly good) and the food complemented it well (Chicken Tikka Loaded Fries)

  • 5/5 Mia M. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love it here! Shoutout to Sofia who always looks after my friends and I. Great atmosphere and beaut cocktails

  • 5/5 Ian M. 11 months ago on Google
    Dave was extraordinarily generous, sharing lots of great information about the city. Lots of pride in this place and its history. If you’d like to raise a glass to Coventry, there’s no better place than Dhillons!

  • 5/5 Harriet L. 11 months ago on Google
    Perfect experience! Came for a few cocktails after an art exhibition over the road. Sofia was an incredible bartender, took an interest in our vastly different tastes as a group, and ensured we were well looked after through our stay. Thank you for a wonderful end of our evening, big love ❤️

  • 5/5 Man of A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great space. Gorgeous bar. Sofia the new assistant manager was very talented and also willing to make custom drinks to your taste. Very rare with cocktail bars now a days. Would recommend for anyone looking for a unique experience. Definitely try the dark chocolate old fashioned

  • 5/5 Lynden J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very quirky place - something different. Pleasant environment and a great bar tender.

  • 3/5 Debbie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Heater above 1st table didn't work. Drinks arrived quickly but food isn't done onsite so took a little while to arrive and one order didn't turn up,but they gave a no hassle refund. It was just a bit annoying. The DJ was playing some great tunes!

  • 5/5 stef h. 2 years ago on Google
    Cocktail heaven. 😍 Had some absolutely amazing cocktails here,- watching them being made was an experience in and of itself...they tasted fantastic and look the part too. If you tell staff (Stefan served us) what flavours you like they will make the perfect cocktail to suit your taste. Thank you Stefan! We will be back.
