    Whats 🆙 Nice and colorful place in the middle of town center, a big variety of beers and cocktails. The place is not too busy usually and they often have deals on cocktails 🍹 2 4 1 Music was not too bad and the place itself is clean overall. One thing I did not like, they do not do table service. They will not bring the drinks to your table but they would come pick up the empty glasses 🤓☝🏼 📍Location ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️LEICESTER DOWN TOWN ⚜️Decor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ NICE AND COSY 👯‍♀️Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🥗Food NO FOOD ORDERED 🍹Drinks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🤑Price ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Come have a L👀K yourself‼️ INSTAGRAM 👉🏼 ⭐️fly_me_here and flavours_on_plates_ ⭐️

    Empty place, it was nice because we found a seat easily. Filled with staff who were chatting, with a stack of glasses and stuff on the bar which needed clearing away. Had 2x Daiquiri, too much salt around the rim of the glass, not and enjoyable drink, even though it was 2-4-1

    Loved the person who served us at first. So friendly and welcoming. They wore a duck earring. Also, the owner brought Ziggy, his delightful puppy.

    Great bar for beer and cocktails. Have great selection of their own beers and other great guest taps Seemingly unique in Leicester that they actually have their heaters on today so it's warm too.

  • 4/5 Rowan P. 9 months ago on Google
    Huge selection of beer and gin. They didn't have a few gin items on the menu but managed to suggest a few other options. Dog friendly which is always a plus with us. Pricey.

    Myself and husband went just for the Comedy club which is run every Tuesday night (this particular night 21st March was my birthday). The Host George was fab.....pretty sure he could have kept us entertained by himself for the 2 hours the Comedy was on for. If I lived nearer I'd be there every Tuesday night from 7.30pm. It was a small but mixed age group in the audience. The format is typical Comedy Club of Compare then act 1, break, compare, act 2, break, compare act 3 whom is the 'highlight'. Acts 1 & 2 were fine but yes Tom Little was the better of the 3. Though he did talk really fast - wasn't quite sure if that was him being himself or part of the act. It was a great little venue and quite intimate. Definitely a place I'd go back to. Drinks were reasonably priced too. Can't comment on whether there was a menu or not as we never planned to eat there anyway. Did I mention there is no charge to get in, you just turn up and take a seat - donations are requested at the end but I think you could still get out alive if you didn't donate

    Very lively atmosphere and friendly service. Good choice of drinks 🍹 🍺

    There is a new guy working there ( Kyle ) and the music is already better, last time I went in I walked straight back out as Afro Beat was blasting out and killing the vibe. This new guy put some fretless bass music on especially for me. I don’t think it is apparent what this place is, the identity is very confusing. But I am here for the beer 🍺

    Absolutely love it here! As does Wilbur the drink blogging penguin ! Be it beers, cocktails or spirits he’s in his happy place! Beautifully decorated and staff are all fab !

    Fantastic range of beers for all tastes. Was met by a very warm welcome, so much so that we returned later for the fab comedy night. Really friendly staff and locals alike. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning again soon.

    Cracking place for cocktails, lovely decor and the bar staff are freindly helpful and informative even giving advice on making your own at home. Keep up the good work. The only downside is the outside seating attracts beggars and loud drunkeness from nearby hostelry.

    first time i came here i was served by josh and he was so funny and lovely! second time i came i was served by someone (didn’t catch her name) tonight (21/12/22) and she was SOOOO lovely and helped us with recommendations :) honestly can’t recommend this place enough if you like beer or not - they have cocktails too!

    Lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor, and friendly staff. Great place to go and try something new to drink. The only problem is that there aren't always enough places to sit. But that is to be expected in a bar of this quality.

    Just saved this place to my favourites. Tried 3 different Sommar beers, all super fresh. Friendly place, good music, great atmosphere, not crowded. And the prices are very reasonable too.

  • 5/5 karen r. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely new bar with friendly staff and cool vibe. Especially like the beers are from micro/independent brewery

  • 4/5 Joseph G. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy little venue, very stylised. Quite a good location to sit and people watch out the window. Fantastic beer selection with many different options.

  • 4/5 christopher W. 1 year ago on Google
    really liked sommar, great menu of beers will be going again in the future

  • 5/5 Tom K. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic place to enjoy watching the world go by. A great place with an amazing interior, situated right on the corner with floor to ceiling glass on two sides that open up in the summer onto the street. Nice selection of drinks at standard not over priced prices. Not something that gets mentioned all the time but top marks to this place for having immaculately kept and clean toilets and wash areas, 👍🏻

    Went to this bar last night for my birthday and was unbelievably disappointed with the service. I ordered my drinks and after paying was told that they didn't have the ingredients left to make my drinks. I asked if i could have refund which I was told I wasn't allowed because they didn't know how to give one. I was then asked to come back another day to see if the refund was possible then which is extremely inconvenient as I live far away from Leicester and rarely come. The staff member that I was speaking to when trying to deal with the situation (Mya) was very rude and smug about the situation saying it wasn't her problem. When I asked to see the manger I was told she was out which was why I couldn't get my refund. 100% would not recommend this place as I basically got robbed and the service you will receive isn't worth it!!!

    Stumbled across this gem last week wandering in for a pint not realizing there was a show on. Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the fact the bar was still open and tables around to enjoy without disturbing the show. Ended up staying till the end 👍🏻

    Went into this empty bar today to enjoy a lovely drink before we enjoyed our meal elsewhere, to be greeted with two staff members who were not approachable, and barely said two words while serving us. 10 minutes into our drinks a gentleman came back into the bar and proceeded to tell the lady behind the till that they had been sacked, to which the lady then told us they are now closed, but with force and arrogance. Shockley I replied and said “do we have time to finish our drinks” to which she replied, “I don’t know I don’t work here anymore” the gentleman on the other hand was really understanding that we had drinks left to finish and told us to finish our drinks, however they proceeded to chat behind the bar about there recent dismal from the business and wether or not they would clean the bar. Overall due to this experience we wouldn’t be returning to this bar.

    Visited Sommar Leicester today. The atmosphere was amazing and the choice for crafts was one of the best I've seen. Aiden was amazing in helping me choose the right flights and was very bubbly. A lovely hidden gem of Leicester.

    The comedy was great, and the bonny wee lassie named Ruby in a beautiful kilt with a firery spirit, was good at making cocktails. BTW I'm Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
