How lucky are we to have this bar in Paignton? Fabulous menu of cocktails - some traditional, some of the 'dessert' variety, and some with a more modern twist.
Great, friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable host and staff. Sit back and relax in cosy and comfortable surroundings - you won't want to leave!

Fantastic night at the lions monocle. The staff were really attentive, they made a special effort with table decorations for mine and my cousins birthday. They also served a fantastic vegan platter with vegan cupcakes. Brilliant and very tasty. The cocktails were professionally created and reasonably priced. Happy days!

Stumbled across this little gem on an afternoon in Paignton. It was a Thursday so they were closing at 4 but offered to make takeaway cocktails for our train journey back. The place was done out lovely, very boutique style, staff really friendly and cocktails amazing and reasonably priced. We took the girls up on the offer of takeout and were really impressed with the packaging. Two plastic bottles, all labelled so professionally and served with napkins and straws in a brown carry bag. So impressed. Was a great train journey back. Will definitely be back

The coolest bar/café in Paignton. A classy little oasis in the drab centre of this seaside town. It's a cocktail/wine bar evenings and a healthy juice bar/café daytimes. They also have live music some evenings.
The decor is quirky and arty. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
We had read about this place and knew they offered vegan food. For our first visit, we popped in early evening. It is conveniently located opposite the train station. We had a beer and a wine and were given a free small tapa of olives each, which was a lovely touch. We were made to feel very welcome by the beautiful owner, Indianna, who told us all about her vision for this wonderful place.
We will visit again soon, when we are next in Paignton, hopefully to try the green smoothies and some vegan food.

Quirky little place, shabby chic and vintage vibe with a little sprinkle of fairy land magic. Indiana the hostess cannot do enough for you, very welcoming, relaxed and attentive. Fabulous cocktails and platters. Cannot recommend this venue enough. We definitely be going back.
Andrew Marshfield
Wow. What a fantastic place. Was looking for a place that catered for me as a vegan and the kids as non vegans. The Lions Monocole didn't disappoint any of us.
Loads to choose from and great tastes.
Great to see proper cola and lemonade from Fentimans. Everything they do here, they do properly. Great service, great value, great food.

The Lions monocle is a must to stop by at whenever you visit Paignton, the staff are so welcoming and friendly the decor is just beautiful and music in the background is for everyone's taste . The prices are fair the cocktails are the best I've tried and along with the good company of family it was a lovely experience. Well done The Lions Monocle you doing a fantastic job we will definitely be coming back!!!

Just popped in for a lovely pint of Devon Red Cider and a Vegan cupcake. Both were great and I’ll definitely be coming back in the evening for some food. The menu looks great and has loads of vegetarian/vegan options. If you’ve walked by and not visited, next time you go past why not pop in and see what you’ve been missing?!
