The Crazy Bear

Booked a Thai massage for the Mrs and myself. It was superb and relaxing. Friendly and very helpful staff. Had a drink at the bar after the massage and then went to the Thai restaurant a few doors down. Food was delicious and service was fast. Trendy place, great place for socialising and would recommend for like minded people happy to spend a bit for a premium experience.

I happened upon The Crazy Bar on the way back to the hotel very late, and I'm happy that I did. It is such a unique experience to dine there. The waiter was a sweetheart and took very good care of myself and my grandmother. Additionally, the interior decorations were marvelous. The food was delicious as was the Irish coffee!

We were nearly put off by the many negative reviews (and more importantly the hotel's complete indiference & lack of response to them), but our experience was extremely positive. The decor is fabulously over the top but somehow works and the rooms make most other hotel rooms look very safe and dull. Drinking here is pricey but you are paying for the surroundings so it is to be expected. We opted for the Thai meal and it was extremely tasty (but you do need to spend extra for any sides or nice options). The continental breakfast was lovely and very few people opted to 'upgrade' to a cooked breakfast for an additional £12 per person, probably because it was unnecessarily expensive when you have already paid for bed & breakfast. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

This place is naff and a complete joke of a restaurant. The decor is strange and tacky and not in a cool quirky way - padded cushioning on the walls with faux taxidermy dotted around ...why? The toilets look like they got all the mirrors in the world and put it in one room ...I get that it's called Crazy Bear and it's trying to do something different, however, this definitely isn't the way to go about it. I could forgive the ostentatious decor if the service was great but the staff are rude and obnoxious. Waiter was asked which way do they recommend the lobster being served to which a shrug of the shoulders was provided ... he had voice which could have been used. Three times during the course of the meal the waiter came to ask if we were finished even though one party still had their knife and fork in hand and steak on the plate. Then to top it off once the bill was paid (service charge inc.) and we were finishing off conversation the waiter proceeded to say in these exact words "come on guys we have bar you can move to" ...there were countless empty tables around us and paired together with the tone used was completely impolite. It's basically a conveyor belt for them and if it was busy and there were people waiting to be seated we would have of course left immediately. The food was alright but pricey for the quality and cooking - lobster was tough. Would never set foot in here again. No style nor substance.

Pleasant place to spend an afternoon with friends and family, afternoon tea is excellent - good sandwiches, lovely scones and cakes and a good selection of teas. Waiting staff all very smart and polite. We had two small children with us who were allowed to share our sandwiches which was nice for them. Just watch out for a few sharp edges on the tables out the back... We bought our afternoon tea through Groupon, which offered quite a discount on the full price.
