Conor's Bar & Lounge at The Lodge at Castle Leslie Estate

A charming venue with standout service and a surprisingly broad menu mix. You’ve got open spaces for a relaxed atmosphere and private rooms if you want to step out of the noise and lock in a more intimate moment. Net-net, if you’re in the vicinity, it’s a straightforward recommend.

Food was delicious, recommed the sea food chowder. Was quite cold in the dinning area, most of us kept our coats on.

Ordered medium rear steak which was overcooked, waited way too long for mains, multiple servers asking same questions, burnt chips, undercooked onion rings... place is really lovely However... food is shocking for the price and place its being served in..

Excellent food & service. Great selection of cocktails and craft beers. Will be back

Anaïs was the most endearing, attentive and fun waitress and she made our evening. Wonderful food and atmosphere.

We booked for NYE. I was concerned about some of the reviews about bad service. Ours was exceptional! Water to the table without asking was the start. The food was excellent, and so quick. Pork for the boss and Salmon for me. Our only gripe was the spuds served with the mains are non existent lol. A side is needed - but overall can't wait to the back!

We recently dined in Connors bar at Castle Lesley estate. The menu was great with lots of varied options for starter and main course. Both myself and my husband had steak for our mains and they were absolutely delicious. Side portions are very generous. The staff are very attentive and there’s a lovely atmosphere in the conservatory area which is nice and open but still gives you an element of privacy. I’m looking forward to returning soon

Went to this bar this afternoon for a friend’s birthday . The food and the place were great, really lovely , but the service was - sorry to have to say it - poor . Service can be a deal breaker and difficult to get right . The first waitress - a Malaysian / Indonesian girl was glum . The water carafe had really wet the table and the menus , however , she made no effort to get a cloth and dry the table . Her attitude towards us was a variety of indifference and quasi hostility . She did not engage with us in any way apart from writing down our order . There was no banter , no smile , no reference to the food . We also ordered a bottle of wine between two . I clearly stated I wasn’t drinking ( as I was the driver ) but yet two glasses arrived . I felt like I was the one who did something wrong when she curtly pointed out that I needed to move my water beaker in order for her to put down the wine glass ( which I was not going to use anyway ) . We both felt almost intimidated to ask anything as feedback and engagement were apparently ‘ not on any menu ‘ ! The food arrived and it was super . That said nobody asked us if we were ok or if the food was ok or if we needed anything . We were left to our own devices . We requested assistance from three other waitresses throughout the course of the meal . Two were business like and one was just inexperienced - we left a tip but she did not even say ‘ Thank you ‘ . This was disappointing . A more mature lady approached at one point and she was somewhat friendly . She offered to refill the water carafe but the water never arrived . Before leaving I went up to the counter to say goodbye and thanks but all waitresses were involved in some sort of kerfuffle and didn’t even look at me or say anything as I said my goodbye and thanks . Again very disappointing . This is a lovely venue and great food but sadly attention to detail was lacking and service should be better . Maybe everyone was having an ‘ off day ‘ but these days shouldn’t really be foisted on the customers . I would definitely return because of the quality of the food and the venue itself but the service needs an upgrade .
