    Really disappointed-got dressed up to arrive in what I can only describe as a filthy dark candlelit restaurant. My shoes were sticking to what supposed to be a patterned carpet but couldn’t be seen with the black dirt that was engraved in it. There was no dinner menu only plates to share. The chips were lovely!

    Did not eat here . It’s very very grotty, and dirty our feet stuck to the carpet as we waited at the bottom of the stairs . Carpet completely threadbare on each step . No where to hang your coat or no offer to take your coat . There were two of us and we were wedged beside another couple and a table of 4. No one on the other side of the room , when we asked could we move to one of the free tables as we only wanted one or two drinks. We were told no they were booked . We had booked also !! No one arrived while we were there. We left after one drink . Grim .

    Being really honest, the service just wasn’t what I was expecting. The lady spilled the cocktail and (poorly) attempted to clean it instead of offering to get a new one. As a cocktail bar, I felt the cocktail list wasn’t great.

    I love this pub and it's appearance and ambience. Not a fan of the new cocktail menu. The presentation has dropped as the glasses they were served in were like a thimble with no decoration. 4 cocktails for Euro 56.00 is certainly not value for money. It would not put be off returning but it won't be for the cocktails next time. Music was great as was the atmosphere.
    Peruke & PeriwigResponded on 5 December 2024
    Hi Brian, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, we greatly appreciate your feedback! We are sorry that you didn't enjoy our cocktails as much as you have done on prior visits! The presentation you received shouldn't be the case as we have put time into our signature menu & classics on both flavour and appearance. We do hope to see you back in again to enjoy the atmosphere, whether it be for a few pints/shorts or to give the cocktails another go! Kind Regards, The Team at Peruke & Periwig

    Honestly - avoid! I’ve had a few good nights here over the years, however, their cocktails have gone massively downhill post Covid. Drinks aside, this place is probably best avoided. As soon as we were being shown to our table, we were told that the whole floor at to be cleared by 6pm (booking was at 4:15, so that was fine). It took 20 mins to be served, with drinks and food only arriving just before 4:50pm. At 5:10 the entire floor, who were all seated around the same time, were told it was last orders - and we were only allowed to order one drink each. Bills were out on every table before 5:30 and we were all ushered out pre 5:45. Sadly I will not be back, service like that really is not doing wonders for Press Ups financial situation, which isn’t exactly in the best spot to begin with.

    I generally never review my dining experiences however this was the worst one I’ve had in a very long time . As I went to check in for my reservation a painting fell off the wall and it’s frame hit me on the head. I understand accidents happen however the host laughed it off by saying “it’s not the first time it’s fallen” and didn’t even ask if I was ok. I’m not a dramatic person but given the fact it was a heavy antique frame and it left a bump on my head I thought she may have been more concerned. I was shown to my table without any further mention and it took 15 minutes for the waitress to ask us for our drink order in a relatively quiet upstairs bar. We were due to have food but given the poor service/painting incident we just decided to get a drink. The drinks were ok but wildly overpriced and when we were leaving I pointed out the frame that fell on me to my friend and to host laughed awkwardly yet again. The whole experience has tainted my view on this place as I used to love coming here and have regularly recommended it to my friends. I will not be back.

    Quirky, unique place with sharing plates. The service was good but the food was only average. Booked for 3 people for a birthday celebration and we selected 5 sharing plates between us. Unfortunately nothing really there to entice us back.

    Hi Aileen, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate the feedback here at Peruke and Periwig. We will be sure to pass this on to our kitchen and do hope to see you again to redeem ourselves and serve you some delicious cocktails! Regards, The Peruke & Periwig Team
