Very poor service, was there Saturday night with 8 people and they all agree. Stunning bar but definitely would never eat there again.

Booked a table for 9.30 and was told we had to wait outside for 20 minutes outside in the rain as there was a queue. Overheard a bouncer say there were too many people inside than was allowed.

Making a general mistake with a booking doesn’t go down to well which has never happened before when booking, very rude and cheeky when trying to get the issue dealt with👎🏽

Early evening it's quiet which is great for any 'older' folk wanting to go out for a relaxing drink without the queues. It serves food up until 6pm although I haven't eaten there yet. It's primarily younger people that frequent it later on.....when I'm back in my pjs! Lol

Dorman's is a lovely bar, but waiting 15mins for a drink is kinda ridiculous. Staff reading instructions on how to make a cocktail and bar maids telling you they won't serve you because you not at the correct side of the bar, disappointing. Lovely and lively, just need to serve customers faster and have some manners.

Food great. Nice environment.. Just need to sort out seating or educate staff. Was seated in high seated table which wasn't ideal for young kid and advised waiter needed normal seating and to let us know if one became available but was told that they had loads of people waiting to be seated but new people just walked in and other staff seated them at a low table which just became available in our view and after bit of complaining was given better seating. Good food though.
