I've been here the last few days. Staff are super friendly, always smiling. Super helpful. The jukebox is stacked with options and pool is super cheap. Me and my friends love this place.

Zephyr is now my favourite place to play small table pool for one pound, no pints for sale on the bar but there’s a great variety of canned and bottled beers for a fair price, the ambient music is great as a rock’n’roll fan I recommend and you have the option to choose your songs on the jukebox, the staff is great and very attentive. Easy to park with lots of spots available in the front of the bar. Perfect rock bar and I enjoy a lot going there

Zephyr is a great place to be if you want to experience a friendly atmosphere with great rock and metal. The bar staff are all top notch, it has 4 pool tables and a great selection on the jukebox. Also last Friday of each month comes Nostalgia a live Rock/Metal DJ set which the boys always put on a great show and if you like nu metal I occasionally pop on a few tunes via a guest slot!!

What a gem! This place is awesome, quite often go for a game of pool, friendly staff, good selection of drinks and well priced. They have a Nintendo 64 with games like Mario kart which is always great after a few drinks. I'd say the place is more geared to the alternative crowd, it's basically a cool place to have a game of pool, a drink and not have to worry about idiots that you get in some of the other local places.

Such a great place to chill, have some drinks and relax at weekends with a good selection of music. We have been for Nostalgia a couple of times on the last Friday of the month ( 4 cocktails are a hit! ) Definitely our new favourite haunt, will be back soon!
