About Lounge Bar
On Saffron Ln in Leicester, Lounge Bar is a bar run in a lounge format, found at number 451. A pool table, a jukebox and a dart board are on site, so games are part of the setup alongside the screens. Football is shown on TV, and other sports are on the screens as well. The bar works on a walk-in basis, with no reservations to make. Children must be out by 6pm, so the hours after that are child-free.

Customer Review Summary
Sports on TV is the draw reviewers raise most, with football named repeatedly as almost always showing and several calling it a great place to watch a match. Close behind are the friendly locals and bar staff, and one newcomer to Leicester describes being made to feel welcome after a different experience at other pubs. Drinks are called reasonable, and one reviewer points to cheap beers from the big breweries, while another calls the beer half decent. A jukebox, a dart board and a pool table also get mentioned. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says the lack of real ale and craft beer is not to their taste, and another objects to the 6pm cutoff for children, calling it a stupid rule. A regular of many years mentions the good laugh, and another reviewer notes the pool table cushions seem set to random.
