About Rabona
Rabona is a football-themed bar in Matlock, at 5 Dale Rd, with screens in the booths so matches can be followed from a seat. Scarves, shirts and memorabilia cover the walls, and a pool table and other games give customers something to do between fixtures. The bar runs over two levels, with an upstairs bar and a downstairs bar. Food orders are taken only in the upstairs bar. Bottomless brunch is part of the offering, and groups celebrating together can have prosecco brought to the table, including a table of 9.

Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is the main draw, with reviewers praising the waiters who kept glasses full, sorted a balloon and prosecco for a 30th, and fixed order problems on the spot. One reviewer came for football, citing screens in the booths, a pool table and memorabilia. One complaint describes a bad smell, sticky floors, and downstairs drinks never arriving because orders only worked upstairs.

“We came here today for bottomless brunch to celebrate the opening of our new venture. We were served by Noah, who was attentive and lovely throughout. He made the bottomless brunch the experience it was with his wit and kindness. He ran into issues fulfilling orders and thought on his feet and used initiative to resolve issues. What a brilliant server, bar/restaurant and experience. We would definitely celebrate here again!”

“For such a beautiful town this place shouldnt be there. Smells awful throughout. Sat outside to avoid the smell. Then went to the downstairs bar to order drinks and food. Nothing worked and was told you can only order food in the upstairs bar. Didnt ever get my drinks as they couldn't work out what the problem was before I gave up and unstuck my shoes from the floor and left. Shouldn't be in Matlock”

“We attended yesterday for a bottomless brunch (one being non alcoholic due to pregnancy) and was thoroughly looked after by our waiter, Will. Nothing at all was too much trouble & our glasses were never empty! Really refreshing to have constant flowing drinks & food, that taste great and are served with a friendly smile. Thanks for making it so enjoyable Will 😊 x”
