Republic Bar & Cafe

We went for quiz night. Food was good , however I should have gone medium with my scotch fillet and not medium rare. The Jack Daniels sauce was amazing.

Spacious haven for anyone looking for live music, chill vibes, and a bevvie or two. Indoor/outdoor seats, friendly staff, tasty bites. Perfect for post-work unwind or casual catch-ups.

I haven't been here for quite some time so I thought I was about due to have a meal here. Staff were friendly enough and I decided to go a parma which I hadn't had for awhile. It was served with fries and salad. The food didn't take long to come and was quite delicious. But....... It did seem like the place could for with a good clean as the first table I came across was quite sticky to the touch. So much so I had to move to another table which seemed to be better, but not by much. Would I go back again? Not sure about that. Doesn't have the same feel it had a few years back.

Love it. Good vibe. Cool seating. Great food and the Service from Lewis today was very helpful, prompt and Funny! I love to go there when its quiet but you never feel pushed to order ...... Love the couch/old mirrors/chandelier corner and the drinks are quite well priced. Happy customer.

Never again will I go there.. The new bar manager looks like an oily in desperate need of a shower type and needs a few lessons in management and manners.. The new chef wouldn’t even be on par with a new kitchen hand.. Two meals were served 30mins apart and first was cold and the second was inedible. This place has gone down hill extremely fast..

I’ve been going to the Repub for 20 years. I really want to give a better review, but the place seems to have lost its mojo since the previous long-standing owner sold the pub. It feels grimy & sticky, the service is hit and miss, there’s now a big TV in the beer garden and the alternative crowd of yesteryear seems to have disappeared. Please bring back the Republic Bar of old!

Went for tea and a gig last night. Sat down, tables were sticky. Checked another table sticky as well. Ordered from the very minimal offerings menu which was also very sticky.. It turned up 70 minutes later ..cold,for a table of 4 with not many others eating in that room. Went to the toilets before the bands started and no toilet paper in the female toilets. I believe the men's ran out during the night. The females was replaced after asking. Hoping not too many bands go there anytime soon as the venue wasn't enjoyable I have had lots of good times and meals there in tge past.

Great experience made even better with high-quality musician - Shane Howard with meaningful, emotional, social, and political commentary wrapped in the poetry of his music.
