    Perfect day with my girl we decided on hot dogs and we loved it. (She got the vegan dog) The atmosphere is great here if you love watching the games on enough screens and pool table and much more. Great for a fun night out with food!!!!

    Just eaten an early dinner here. Amazing service and 5* food. One of the best steaks I have ever eaten. I will be back very soon…

    One of my favourite places in Leicester to watch sports and just generally hang out in the evening. Great atmosphere and vibe, while prices are also very reasonable being right in the middle of De Montfort University campuses. Staff are always friendly, serve food throughout the day with pretty good veggie and vegan options.

    Friendly student bar just off De Montfort University campus. On road parking via meters outside. Staff are very friendly. Bar serves food and has a variety of bar games areas.

    We took a break from walking along the river. Decent place to hang out. Tons of TVs. Would be good for a game night. There is a patio area that overlooks the river. It would be perfect on a nice summer day.

    Bottomless brunch was amazing. Great time to go during the day on a weekday. Staff were friendly and the drinks options were good. Which there was more options on the good menu for bottomless brunch.

    One of my first bars visited in Leicester, I have been many times since. Always friendly quick service, great choice of beers and tasty food with the advantage of collecting MORE card points too. We watched Leicester win the Rugby final here, great atmosphere.

    Not friendly for new comers , definitely not the place to go if you have an accent as well. Didn't expect much but that places serves racism. I'm not talking about black ans white racism but English or not. Doesn't makes sense for a place that ir right next to an international uni. Staff need to understand that we come here to study and should welcome us. Plus all the reviews i saw about being student friendly dont actually come from students.

    Chicken wings were tasty with a variety of sauces. The prices here make the food great value, especially if you consider during the week they offer students 20% off food and 10% off drinks, although the staff do seem a little unsure of the discounts and how to apply them. Also lots of screens so a good location to watch football with some food

    Great meeting place for students. Just on the edge of town, between the edge of the Town Centre and Braunstone Gate, so plenty of choices to move on to. And right on the canal bank, with a veranda over the water. Good atmosphere, reasonable prices, helpful staff. Top banana score of 4 🍌🍌🍌🍌

    Visited from London and Essex, Sicily and Matt were very accommodating. We came for my friends graduation drinks. We booked bottomless brunch for £50. Well all I can say is we definitely got our monies worth. Drinks and food were perfect, portion sizes were more than expected. When I’m Leicester again we’ll definitely be back

    Great place to socialize with friends, food is absolutely delicious, shame they got rid of the Waffle Doodle Doo

  • 4/5 Bosky B. 4 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    I tried karage burger 🍔 which was delicious. Recommend that, but it was overpriced. You can get a drink with burgers and pizzas 🍕 with extra two pounds. They have two pool tables, and some arcades games as well. Few tv 📺 screens as well. Overall experience was good 👍 but drinks are bit expensive, not student friendly I think. It was not too busy even on Friday night. Atmosphere was nice. Online order available from their mobile app.

  • 5/5 Chloe C. 8 months ago on Google
    Bottomless brunch was amazing, great food, good variety and service was brilliant. Matt, Kandy and Sicily (sorry if I've spelt then wrong) were perfect servers and always made sure we were topped up! Definitely worth it :) will be booking again.

  • 5/5 Bryan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar and very friendly staff. Fantastic atmosphere every time I've been here and always a great selection of craft beers. I highly recommend this place. Roughly 10 from the centre or from the King Power Stadium. I shall return again 😉🍺⚽️🇾🇪

    We had the Soar Point booked for an event today. It proved to be an ideal venue in several ways. Big capacity but still an intimate feel. Close to city centre but a very pretty location. Good food. Lovely bar staff. And the manager Matt was supportive, friendly, and very hard working in helping sort some technology issues.

    Only went in for a couple of drinks on the walk home. It was lovely, we sat outside next to the canal. One of the bar men that served was really friendly and he had great customer service unfortunately don’t know a name.

    +/ve- Lovely location near the river! Great drinks, food and the staff are welcoming. The Sunday quizzes are great fun in the evenings for those wanting to test their knowledge! -/ve - The toilets could be cleaner

    Erin and cicely have absolutely amazing service! If you do brunch here it is so worth the money and these girls truly make the experience better as they are so attentive and friendly. Will 100% be returning

    Matt and Sicily served us and made our experience completely outstanding. Super friendly staff and food was a 10/10. Will definitely be back!

    Great on a Thursday when the keg stuff is on offer. The youngsters (it's very much a uni hangout) are lovely. They're happy to put up with oldies invading their space for cheap keg! Lovely place, especially on the terrace when the sun is shining.

  • 5/5 Olivia M. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing service by Erin and cicely! So friendly and never had to wait for drinks so attentive! Amazing place to brunch , staff are amazing and will definitely be returning. Can’t thank the girls enough for their amazing service and lovely attitude.

  • 5/5 Alex H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to meet for a pint with my mates. Also maybe showing my age a little bit too much but I loved the mix of noughties rock that was playing as well, it reminded us of being sat on the floor drinking snakebite before Mosh, it should be played more often!

  • 5/5 Ryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a heartwarming and friendly place. Staff are extremely kind and funny. Sam, Erin, Emma, Emmie and Sarah always do their best to lift the mood and interact. Food and the chefs are absolutely amazing. 100% recommend.

    Went for bottomless brunch and was amazing Sean and Scott were spot on very clean and quick service. Cicily bringing our last drink with a smile. Sean and Scott constantly check on us and giving us amazing service can not fault soar point

  • 5/5 Sisters G. 10 months ago on Google
    Bryan was the most amazing host. Very attentive, really patient even though there were 14 drunk ladies. Thank you and a great hire at Soar point, credit to your team. Well done and handled expertly. 👏

    Bottomless brunch was 10/10! Quick service, happy bar staff and good atmosphere throughout. Staff were asking if we were ready for further drinks etc and service was very fast. Would recommend! Megan and Cicily, Sean and Scott were very accommodating x

    Unfortunately, my friends and I went to Soar Point many times to have a good time, but every time it felt that the staff served us food unwillingly. I always feel like we're treated differently just because we don't have a British accent. I'm genuinely surprised that people working in Leicester, especially in the pub near uni can behave like that. I don't recommend this place even though I like the interior.

  • 4/5 Jonathan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty decent place. Large and airy with a good atmosphere, even though it was empty when we went ( Monday night). A couple of pool tables and Mario Kart made for plenty of fun; it's a good place to go with a group of friends. Didn't have any food so can't comment on that, but great selection of beers. I know costs are horrendous for small businesses right now, but it wasn't particularly cheap (about £6 a pint and £1.50 for a game of pool). That said, I'd still visit again and recommend it to others.

    30p for Chicken wings on Wednesday! Super tasty and my birthday boy loved them! The doughnut desert was amazing 😋

  • 4/5 Jess W. 1 year ago on Google
    I first went before the management change a few years ago. Soar point has, in my opinion, since gone a bit downhill. The staff are very friendly and it is a nice place for students, occasionally you can sit outside. Many options for seating, a pool table and tvs showing sports(often football). I would go with my sister as a lunch break or after hand in. The food is good I usually get topped fries and always enjoy, prices can be a bit high for what you get but this is likely due to the effort put into the atmosphere and the food does taste good.
