I am normally a big fan of 33 Cank street and whenever I have friends visiting it is the first place I take them as I have always felt it offers a much better range and experience than most bars in Leicester.
However, we visited on Saturday and were disappointed with the service. We booked the table for an hour. Whilst I appreciate booking is even more important during the pandemic and that all your staff have had to adapt to the changes, the way they managed the time slots was rude. Our drinks took 15-20 mins to arrive, we were then given a count down every 10 minutes of how long we had left on the booking. Due to this, we didn’t bother to order more than one drink as we felt rushed and it wasn’t the relaxed experience we had hoped for. The bar was empty, with only 2 other tables taken and the whole of town was empty that night so I can’t imagine there were customers queuing around the block to get in. We would have spent more and enjoyed ourselves more if we were not on a countdown to leave.
I have also tried to support the bar throughout lockdown by buying the takeaway cocktail service and both times have found the manager to be rude, poor at communication and inflexible with timings.
It’s a place I normally love and want to see small business such as this thrive in Leicester so will return but hoping they work on customer service.

A nice first visit, with us being infrequent visitors to Leicester. Glad we had booked in for some drinks here, to improve our night out after a rather underwhelming dinner nearby. Cocktails were good and well made, despite much of the menu not being to my personal taste. With the expertise clearly on display from the bar staff, I expect they could make your favourite drink - they were working very hard, clearly making everything from scratch. It wasnt too loud to have a conversation.

I fist visited the bar in June with my daughter. We loved it! Very cosy and quirky inside. Lovely, friendly staff. Expert bar tenders. Fabulous range of traditional and modern cocktails. This weekend I came with my friend, she loved it too. We sat outside and it’s a great area to relax and people watch. I’ve tried a few cocktail bars in Leicester and you get what you pay for. These aren’t the cheapest but they are the best. They are actually good value as they use good measures of spirits and you don’t just get a glass full of ice. My favourite is the Hail Maria. All cocktails are beautifully presented. The toilets are very clean too which is always a plus. I’ll definitely be back.

Amazing cocktails continue !
I returned after they opened up after Covid and the service has continued to be friendly, professional and accommodating
Both jacks and Xander deliver some of the finest Manhattan cocktails period ! Definitely the best in leicester
Hostesses deliver some outstanding service too ! Super friendly .
This is my favourite cocktail bar for Manhattan and old fashioned cocktails .
If you fancy quality cocktails- you have to visit 33 Cank street
Amazing vibe

Great little bar in Leicester.
We visited for a friend's birthday and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We booked in advance but were running late and asked if they could hold our table for longer, which they did!
You can order drinks via the app which is great but table service was just as quick and staff were friendly and really attentive.
Their novelty house cocktails were amazing and would highly recommend The Cereal Drinker cocktail. So delicious!
Hope to visit again soon!

incredible! we were lucky to get a table on a busy friday night, but we were sat down and given some water and drinks menus within minutes. drinks arrived shortly after ordering, more orders were taken as soon as your drink started getting low, bottle of water was replaced as soon as ours was empty. great range of classic cocktails as well as more fun and fruity ones, and beers / wines / spirits available. staff are so so kind and friendly, atmosphere is great, will 100% be back!

The cocktails are amazing, the team are amazing and Shania and Lina are superb hosts. Cocktails by Jack and Chalky are well worth having. Made to perfection..... Without a doubt the best bar in Leicester. Lovely ambiance, good music and a place where like minded folk can exchange decent conversation.
i have been back a few times and loved it every time.
best to reserve a table and maximum allowed time per sitting is 2 hours.
this is a hidden gem in leicester. So glad its around.
this bar comes highly recommended.

Went for a drink today. Drinks were good. Staff all seemed rather subdued. Music was not great. A hen party arrived. Nice bunch, good fun. I noticed several eye rolls from one of the staff members. She really is in the wrong job! Such a shame. The bar is in a prime spot. Would not return due to this member of staff’s bad attitude.

The best cocktail bar in Leicestershire, no exception. All the staf are extremely kowledgeable and tentative.
List off cocktails caters to the experienced through to the adventurous.
Great atmosphere and could easily spend a whole evening there.
No other bar in Leicestershire comes close.

Very loud and very busy, after going back after long time this place has lost its mojo.
The cocktails were not as good as last time.
Slightly over priced and not great quality.
It’s a shame as we used to love this place but we will not be going back.
