Honestly, was blown away by this place. Bit on the pricey side, you absolutely get what you pay fot though. Incredible food, great service, really interesting decor that although comic book themed, isn't in your face. Service was excellent, beyond helpful, friendly and welcoming, only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because a service charge is mandatory. It was that good I was going to leave a tip anyway, it being forced on you isn't great though.

The DB always delivers. The food is great, the service excellent and there are lots of quirky touches which make it simply a lovely place to be. The menu is reasonably small but carefully crafted. The staff genuinely care, you can just tell they enjoy working there and this comes across in the service you receive. Dog friendly and games to play too..

We visited here after being recommended by Valentine's Tattoo Studio ! It did not disappoint, the food was amazing, the service was quick and the staff were all so friendly. We loved the decor and wandered around looking at all the comic books and features 😍 We are not from the area but would definitely revisit if we came to Leamington Spa again

Amazing, had a really lovely evening. Came with some friends for dinner, we had all the tapas (other than the olives), and the burger. Everything was really good and tasty. Nice selection of wines. Didn’t try any of the desserts as we were full! Service was amazing, the staff was really good and attentive. Overall, would highly recommend!

Amazingly friendly. We had a 4 generation meet up for lunch and we weren't disappointed. Wheelchair accessible, dog and child friendly with superb staff and busy atmosphere. Very clean and food was lovely. My only thing I would say is that the plates are on the smaller side for the price but the food tastes amazing. I had the monk fish curry. Yummy. Side of fries were lovely and crunchy. We all enjoyed. Craft beer too. Definitely recommend. Book in advance is a must for a Saturday. DOG FRIENDLY TOO

Lovely inviting place with great seating options for small as well as bigger groups, great atmosphere and friendly staff. The tapas selection was lovely and the portion seemed plenty. Only downside is that it can be quite echoey/noisy when it is busy.

I've always noted The Drawing Board as a great spot for drinks but hadn't had a chance to try the food. They have an impressive selection of beers on draft which are a little more expensive than your average pub/bar in Leamington but you pay for the rarity of the selection; I recommend the Rothaus Pils. I think a big draw (excuse the pun) for this place is the atmosphere and decor. On a recent visit I went for the tapas as £12 for 3 plates seemed like great value and some of the main dishes were quite pricey. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes and actually struggled to finish everything. The cauliflower pakora was amazing and the chicken was very tasty. The pork tacos though were a little disappointing as the flavour didn't seem quite right. However, overall I really enjoyed eating there and would definitely visit again to try the other dishes.

Modern pub with festive ambience. Good for drinking, since they have many craft beers. Revisited my comment. I've had food in it last week and it was really good quality, but not cheap

This place is great to have a lunch or a drink. The staff are very friendly, nice and very helpful on picking out the lunch for us. The food is great and cooked just right. The price is worth every penny and good size. There is loads of parking space around the restaurant, just pay and display.
