Drink and Dine in Coventry
If you ask us, a great night out often starts – and quite possibly ends – with food. Whether with dates, mates or family, our dining picks top our list for atmosphere, quality, and choice.
- Rodizio Rico – An authentic, Brazilian Churrascaria (BBQ) experience, Rodizio Rico is a dining sensation like no other. With a mixture of all-you-can-eat buffet and a tableside BBQ meat service, your eyes may certainly end up being bigger than your stomach… but we encourage you to try and fit as much as you can in anyway!
- Cosy Club – In the heart of the city, Cosy Club is a relaxed and welcoming dining space boasting gorgeous, consciously-chosen interiors – including a whopping 4.7 miles of reclaimed wooden floorboards. Alongside their delicious menus – including an all-day children’s menu – they have a wonderful outdoor terrace, perfect for sipping cocktails long into the evening…
Tired of the same old local pub trips on your evenings out? Why not mix it up with some of Coventry’s best breweries and vineyards.
- Triumph Brewhouse – If you’re looking for a low-key pub brewing its very own beer, you’ve found the ideal spot at Triumph Brewhouse. A family-run micropub and café close to the train station, they also offer guest beers from Twisted Barrel and Mashionistas, supporting the local breweries of Coventry.
- Blabers Hall Wine Estate – Book a summer wine tasting and tour of this stunning, local, family-owned vineyard. With high-quality wine produced right here in the UK, this would make an excellent evening for friends, partners and wine-lovers across Coventry and beyond.
- East Chace Distillers – Slightly further afield in nearby Kenilworth, East Chace Distillers is worth the extra travel for their incredible events. From food nights in partnership with local curry houses and Jamaican grills, to Friday evening drinks with plenty of choice – ranging from Heritage Gin to a selection of locally produced beers and wines.
Step out into Coventry’s nightlife
If the party is only just getting started, then Coventry is the one for DJs, dancing and merriment galore with fantastic nightclubs and live music venues.
- 147 Nightclub – Open until the *very* early hours, 147 Nightclub is one of the very best that Coventry has to offer. With plenty of events throughout the year, great drinks deals and a friendly atmosphere, all you need to bring are your dancing shoes… (and maybe some flats to walk home in).
- Samoan Joe’s – With over 100 varieties of rum alone, Samoan Joe’s is a tropical, tiki bar haven in the heart of Coventry, located at the Skydome arena. Enjoy an evening of great music, good vibes and delicious cocktails with friends. If you’re planning on a bigger group, they even have VIP packages to bring your best tiki-dreams to life.
- HMV Empire – Home to an incredible array of live music, popular artists, events and club nights, HMV Empire boasts epic evening entertainment throughout the year. With top names in music and entertainment, their jam-packed calendar is not to be missed!
Enjoy the theatrical side of Coventry
If the arts are more your scene, then Coventry will have your heart with its impressive theatres and entertainment.
Make it a night out to remember by enjoying a pre-show dinner and drinks before heading off to watch something truly special.
- The Belgrade Theatre – Featuring a jam-packed calendar all year round, The Belgrade Theatre in the city centre is the place to go for extraordinary, must-see live shows and performances. From popular plays and musicals to progressive dramas and cutting-edge comedy, the choice is endless, offering something for every taste and interest.
- The Albany Theatre – Aiming to enrich the cultural life of the city, this historic site hosts everything from local community-run plays to spectacular touring shows, perfect for an evening of fun and laughter with friends. With something for everyone, The Albany Theatre’s welcoming atmosphere and diverse programme make it a cultural gem in the heart of Coventry.
- Odeon at the Skydome – A great alternative to live shows is, of course, watching the latest blockbusters on the big screen. Located at the Skydome, the Odeon is brilliant as date night, or a trip out for the whole family. Plus, with so many venues tucked away in the rest of the Skydome, such as Planet Ice and Samoan Joe’s, it’s easy to make the night last as long as you want.
