The Rivals Bar Restaurant

great atmosphere, nice friendly staff! great place to dinate.

Bottle of peroni expensive. Should be given choice of gluten and gluten free

The dining atmosphere is beautiful, making it well worth the price. There's a great selection of food to choose from! Visualizza piatti

Lovely food and a bit unusual but none the worse for that. Wine per glass £6 a bit pricey even for Marlborough. Would advise buying a bottle if more than one glass is required. Otherwise fine

I was impressed by the competition. While I didn’t try the food, the selection of real ales was fantastic. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant/bar was both welcoming and trendy.

Beautiful place, impossible to see from exchange square, but hidden inside the exchange theatre is this restaurant and bar. Wonderfully decorated, relaxed and classy. Good ale selection actually, food looks very nice but is towards the pricier end of the spectrum. I haven't eaten here yet so I can't tell you if it matches the expectations that sets.

Went in for the first time yesterday, Lovely bar. Had a pint of cask ale and the barman took the trouble to make sure the beer was ok before he pulled my pint out. That is great service, and something you don't get very often these days. Wish this bar had of been here when I used to go to the theatre regularly! Will definitely make sure I come back though.

What a lovely evening in a great setting. Beautiful food, excellent choice of wine and relaxed dining experience. The staff were very attentive, we were brought water straight away and both our drink and food orders were taken as soon as we were ready. I had the feta arancini to start followed by the fish cakes and topped off with a chocolate delice, it was all delicious. The portions were great value for money and we were both suitably full. Thank you for your hospitality, we will be back soon!

Our first date in 1976 was at the newly opened Royal Exchange Theatre to see "The Rivals." So when we decided to catch the current performance of "Guys and Dolls," we noticed that a new restaurant named "The Rivals" had opened nearby. We couldn't resist stopping by for some appetizers, and we were not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly without being intrusive, the house wine was excellent, and the food was delightful. The king prawn in my prawn cocktail tasted as if it had just come straight from the sea. I ordered sea bream while my husband had fish and wedges, both of which were delicious. The bread and butter pudding was also a highlight. This was a birthday treat for us, and... Visualizza piatti
