What louise warren likes about The Vault:
Visited when passing through ellesmere and the drinks were lovely and the staff extra friendly especially when we asked if they had a chess set and brought us all sorts of games..Also the dogs said they had the best ham there. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback. What Brett Creange doesn't like about The Vault:
Friday night staff were fantastic, however Sat night, wow, personalities of the year. They were rude and owner is happy for one of them to drink on duty. Owner himself is rude and abnoxious. Pity as the pub is great looking inside however seriously let down by the poor and unprofessional management. Would not go back in there if you paid me to..loads of other friendly pubs in the area to spend your money on. View all feedback.

The pub has a great atmosphere with quirky decor and friendly staff. However, some negative reviews mention rude and unprofessional employees, as well as management issues. Despite this, the bar is commended for its unique style and welcoming ambiance. Customers appreciate the reasonable prices and delicious cocktails. Overall, a mixed bag of opinions, but worth a visit for those looking for a relaxed and unconventional drinking spot with some room for improvement in service and management.
