    Awesome Sunday dinner! Very generous portions at a reasonable price. Had so much food left on my plate, I had to box the rest up and take home with me. There was no way I was letting that go to waste! Highly recommended! Great service from René and Stevie as always. I will definitely be coming back very soon

    Lovely staff, but DJ On Saturday, February 12, it was a complete failure. people asked him for songs but he wouldn't listen. he was self-satisfied, enjoyed his self. during the whole event nobody was dancing and he didn't notice it because he got into his DJing so much, with drum and bass music or wherever that called. Disaster 🥴 Please Nattarjack, don’t let that Dj play again please!

    So we were meant to go to Chelmsford to my best friends Hen, 2 days before the hen/stag company went into liquidation. We managed to find an air bnb in Leicester and decided to blag the first night. We ended up at NatterJacks and WOW. The live music, cocktails and energy was amazing. The blonde lady (we assume the owner or bar manager) made the experience so much more than we expected for something last minute. She brought out balloons, a selfie frame, sparklers and a row of shots for her. We planned to just stay an hour but we ended up staying 4.5 hours. Thank you so so much for such an amazing experience and saving the first night of the last minute Hen.

    So 2 for £5 on selected drinks. Just had £9.40 taken out of my account at 6:20pm on Thursday night for 2 pints of Fosters. Nice pint of Fosters but even so. Been here several times this year and never had this problem before. Disappointed ☹️.

    Awful, disgusting, always so loud, we live next to the place and we can’t get any sleep because they are raving music like a club at 3am when people have work, they’re inconsiderate for noise, the amount of days we have stayed up cuz of the loud bass and music, they treat it as a club not a bar, they either need better insulation or they just need to close their damm doors

    I love Sunday nights there. Open Mic is the best night in brauny Gate all week. Made to feel welcome, even allowed to sing to (falling over optional) Lovely friendly staff, amazing musicians, lovely funny friendly atmosphere , great decor and venue. Top Place

    We obviously chose a wrong night to descend upon this place. There was a private party on but it took over the whole bar with the music and guests......why not just close it off to the general public in that case? We chose to sit outside, there were 12 of us.

    First trip back to Braunstone gate since the pandemic Natterjacks used to be buzzing in the day. .. it has certainly changed and not for the better... maybe its due to the security guard on the door,very intimidating and I'm not entirely sure belonging to the SIA you can stop and search people wanting to enter a venue 🤔 but he certainly was not a friendly person but looked to want to entice trouble, just an observation

    Only just getting round to writing this review. Haven't been since 2015 but the place was great. Hope to return in 2023.

    Greek salad, pitta bread, vine leaves and a pint of Heineken. All for under £18. Lovely.

  • 5/5 Razwan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wicked night in Natterjacks, popped in for my mates 30th. A bit slow behind the bar due to not enough bar staff (not the bar staff’s fault but management should consider more for busy nights) DJ was absolutely banging. Took our requests and played a proper diverse selection.. big up keenan

    Went there for a colleague's birthday and had an amazing time. The catering was excellent and the food was great. Drinks were reasonably priced and and there were a lot of options. Would definitely recommend, especially as you have to go through a Tardis to get to the toilets!

    Been here for various events, including the brilliant Sunday evening open mic night hosted by the inimitable Rhett Barrow; as well as one of the best live sets ever witnessed when the same promoter recently booked local legends, The Paradimes. The staff here are so lovely, friendly and professional. The drinks are great, whilst the atmosphere is usually somewhere between super-chill and vibrantly buzzing. Either way, the decor is unique, there's a nice little raised area inside the building for performances and, outside, there's covered decking running the length of the building, which leaves lots of space for smoking or not. One of the best bars about. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic! We went for my friends Hen, once they saw her they really made her feel special. Gave us a great table near the dance floor which they decorated, took her to the stage for shots to cheers from the other guests. Made the night really special. Great staff, good music and drinks. Thank you natterjacks!

    Had a table booked from 6-11 to watch the semi-final. We were assured if we turned up by 7pm our table would be held. Turned up at 6.30pm to find the table had been given away. We had to sit outside in the smoking area (we're all non-smokers) watching a delayed stream on wet tables due to the heavy rain. First and last time I'll be visiting, which is unfortunate as the food was actually quite good.

    Ate here yesterday and the food although tasty was cold when it was served. Ordered burritos and fajitas and got 2 plates that were identical. There was an option for mild, medium or hot which related to the little pot of sauce served with it and I didn't even get that till I asked. Was still eating and the server appeared and took my plate! May be worth a try but beware

    only 1 star because can’t post 0 but not even worth that. Door staff rude af. Place is empty on week night were told dress code policy and joggers not allowed so we said okay fair play, went and changed and came back as we only live 5 mins away and suddenly werent allowed in because my brother from Glasgow who came to visit me (never has he been to leicester before) was thrown out on the weekend? Daft or what.

    Went to a reggae night decent music and vybes.. a few fights inside which ruined it for the people that was good and just wanted fun.. Second time vsiiting now and it was very quiet hardly no customers but the whole street was quiet so I'm guessing it's the weather. Had a few drinks with friends and went home. They do have some nice drinks at decent prices
