This is a cosy cocktail bar in the heart of Leicester. I came here with 2 of my friends. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. James the guy who took our orders was hilarious with a great sense of humour. We had the 2 for 1 specials on the cocktails and there was a great pizza deal. Food was the typical pub grub but very tasty. It was very quiet because it was a Tuesday night. I would like to come back again on a weekend to see if it lights up.
Atmosphere good, music choice alright.
Not sure about prices as of June 2023 as a single strawberry and lime rekordalig £5.80.
But otherwise alright prices. Went on a Tuesday with £4 cocktail's.
Whenever I pass usually has a young group of people though.
There is also a very steep step/slope to the toilets which can take you off guard.
On the topics of the loo, at least for the gents, clean, and alright.
We visited on the first Saturday in December during a trip to Leicester - and happened across the first night of drag queen Lindsay Matthews' 12 month residency. Loved it! The venue is great - lovely space, nice staff - and the cabaret encouraged us to stay for a few more drinks. We'll be back!
This is an amazing place and I would highly recommend to anybody! The bar staff are absolutely incredible and take their job very seriously in ensuring everybody feels safe and protected. I would like to say a big thank you to Harry the bartender and Micheal the general manager as they do not tolerate any harassment and made me and my friend feel so safe and protected which I have never experienced in any bar before. Beautiful people, I will definitely be coming back.
This place is one of my favourite gay venues. Over the years, this place has kept up with trends for appearance and events. Offers to full range of drinks. Does really nice coffee and teas. Toilets are clean and presentable. Staff are friendly and the owner James keep high standards of customer service. He helped me carry drinks to my table. Never a dull moment at the Rainbow and Dove. Thanks James and crew, keep up the nice work.
Amazing place! The people who come in have always be kind and friendly and the staff are great they have a nice chat with you and I like how Sunday to Thursday it's 2 cocktails for 8 pounds it's pretty great and they are really nice drinks and we've gone a few times and asked for certain shots that are not on the menu but will make them if they have the recipe and ingredients.
It's a while since I've been in here. It used to be very loud and noisy to the point that conversation was impossible. It's been refurbished since I was last there. Love the new decor. Reasonably priced. Great music played at a level which allowed us to have a fun conversation. Really enjoyed the changes. Will go there again.
Great gay bar sadly empty till very late on which means a lack of atmosphere before 10/1030. Food is lovely if you need somewhere to eat but you'll probably be eating in an empty bar as no-one seems to go in during the day. Lovely staff
I was here during Leicester Pride, and the place was packed to the rafters! The waiting time to get a drink was long due to the amount of people, but the price wasn't offensive and the atmosphere was really Good! I would definitely come back to experience it but on a less busy night.
Been a few times now, staff are spot on and the place is clean too prices are average, good music
