Vaughan’s Tapas Cocktail - Redditch

While on vacation, we decided to try the crab sandwich at the restaurant. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that it was more like a crab paste instead of the thick white crab meat we had enjoyed in previous years. The cost was £34.50 for three sandwiches, which was quite pricey. As a result, we only visited the restaurant once during our trip instead of making it a daily stop.

We have visited Vaughan’s a couple of times during the past week – once on a Sunday afternoon to see a live band and then for drinks with friends on a Saturday evening. The live band we saw on the Sunday (Steel Wizard) play there quite regularly and they were very entertaining. The sound quality in the room was surprisingly good and it would be nice to see the live band there on a Saturday evening (instead of a Sunday) so we could really make a night of it. There was a DJ on the Saturday night. On both occasions the bar was very busy with a lively atmosphere and friendly vibe. The staff are very welcoming, the drinks prices are extremely reasonable and they have a huge selection of spirits. We’re looking forward to our next visit as it’s a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy a lively night out.

I went to this restaurant on a Saturday evening and was greeted with stares from the staff as I entered. One barmaid was busy with glasses while the other was stocking the fridge and shelves with bottles. We waited to be served but eventually left without being attended to, deciding to go somewhere else instead.

Visited as was attracted by cocktails, the venue itself doesn’t feel like a restaurant nor a bar so a little odd. Good selection of drinks which are well priced. Would visit again but has now wow factor or cosy atmosphere if you were looking for somewhere nice/special

The restaurant offers a good variety of food options. Sophie makes fantastic cocktails. The staff is friendly, but the atmosphere is a bit odd. It feels like a cafeteria trying to be a fancy restaurant. It's a shame because the food is actually quite good.
