What User doesn't like about Quays:
Bar staff on the upstairs bar in the music hall seemed to not be serving people, just stacking glasses and wiping the area behind the bar down. Stood for minutes waiting to be served without even being acknowledged. It became quite clear we weren't going to be able to get any more drinks that night so we left and went on somewhere else where we were served by people who appeared to appreciate our custom.

The Quays offers a mixed bag of experiences, with some customers praising live music and friendly staff, while others describe terrible service and inedible food. The atmosphere is lively, attracting a good crowd of locals and tourists alike, although prices are steep. The variety of drinks and quality of music stand out, offering something for everyone. The restaurant in the basement serves delicious local dishes, but be wary of inappropriate behavior from some staff members. Overall, The Quays is hit or miss, with some customers enjoying a fantastic evening while others leave utterly disappointed.

The beef and Guinness stew is a bit salty, but so good! We also enjoyed the fish and chips. Very nice breading.
