What Bud Runolfsson doesn't like about Gerald's Bar:
AVOID Beautiful bar, nice drinks, but erratically loud music. Refuse the courtesy request to turn down. That's what we do with arrogant management. They don't care. View all feedback. What Hulda Lakin likes about Gerald's Bar:
We went on a busy evening, waited a bit for a table. The service was very good, wines are quite good but a bit expensive, and the dishes (modern tapas style) were really original (with nice and clever mixed of ingredients) and perfectly cooked. Excellent modern, fresh cuisine. View all feedback.

Staff are so lovely and helpful! had the greatest time

Gerald's Bar offers a mixed experience with mostly delicious food including fresh anchovies, pumpkin ravioli, and a standout carpaccio dish. However, some dishes were underwhelming and the service was described as extremely disappointing, with rude and unattentive staff members. Despite this, loyal customers appreciate the warm ambience, great selection of wines, and friendly service, making it a perfect spot for a date night or casual catch-up over drinks. Gerald's Bar is a local gem with unique charm and a memorable dining experience.
