Leamington Spa - work drinks near station

[AberdeenBream]

I’m looking for a nice, quiet-ish venue for corporate drinks in Leamington Spa, up to about a 10-15min walk from the station.

Somewhere with a calm, hotel-bar-style venue rather than somewhere with loud music or sports blaring on TV (couldn’t immediately see any hotels with bars near the station after a quick search).

Maybe a restaurant that would let me book 10-12 people just for drinks? Thanks in advance.

Fizzy moon , maybe. There are so many nice restaurants in Leam, and most of the town centre is within 15min walk of the train station

Or the White Horse , done work drinks there quite a few times

What day of the week? Fizzy Moon might be quiet early in the week, but it definitely won't on a Thurs/Fri!

The Drawing Board is nice - you can go upstairs with a bigger group
The Royal Pug also nice, with a small courtyard
The Star and Garter is more of a gastro pub but has a big bar area
The Moorings is away from the town centre but near the station and you can sit outside by the canal.
1 Mill Street might work well - it's a co-working space, but has a great bar.
The Old Library is probably closest to the station (but I haven't been in for years, since it was The Jug & Jester, so have not a clue what it's like)
The House is another one to look at, but again haven't been since it changed ownership.

Thanks everyone! It will be a Wednesday so hopefully avoiding the noisier days? Will get on to the websites for all of these.

Agree with the Drawing Board, I really like the atmosphere in there and we often go with work. (Ie booking for largish groups is fine) But it's a pub rather than corporate hotel with bar.

I find Fizzy Moon hard work, it's usually busy.

The Old Library is ok, but feels like it needs a good clean and a bit of a spruce up!

I don't think Leamington has many central hotel bar type venues tbh. All the ones I can think of are on the outskirts or near the motorway. House on the parade is probably most similar, in that it's very much a modern bar rather than a pub feel.

The Terrace Bar is very nice.

I've never noticed/heard of The Terrace (and have lived in Leamington for 25 years now!) I just looked it up and it looks really nice. Is it by/underneath The Loft theatre? (it's hard to tell from google maps exactly where it is, and the website doesn't have any photos). Would you recommend for a meal, or drinks, or both?

The Terrace is nice - and it's got the hotel bar vibe you're looking for.

yes, it's on the corner of the bridge there, so you walk through the outside seating area to get to the Loft

I’ve only been there for drinks on a recent visit so I don’t know about the food sorry. It’s by the Loft theatre. I love Leamington, I consider it my home town, even though I haven’t lived there for over thirty years!

Thanks for all the new suggestions, very much appreciated and I will get to ringing around. The Terrace seems to be winning so far.
