1901 - The Turkey Cafe in Leicester

Absolutely amazing. Door staff are so kind and the music is 11/10. They play all types of music both old school and new and more recent music too. I would recommend this place to anyone and also the drinks are cheap

Cocktails are nice, but music was too loud, I even had an earache because of it.

The music was good on Saturday 09/10 so It was great for us . Dj had just the right mix. Made it fun for me and my family. 👏🎶🤗

I booked this venue for engagement drinks. I paid deposit which I still haven’t received back. The owner double booked the downstairs so we had a hectic evening trying to work out if we still were going to be able to get the place for the drinks. Since October I have been trying to get hold of my deposit and had no luck! Please be careful when booking as it’s a pain trying to get this. I would have thought I could Atleast have this back. The evening was hectic and the other party was then upset as they were also promised the downstairs!

Went in here on a hen do. We had contacted them before hand to say we were coming and was told to ask for the bar manager on arrival and they would look after us. We arrived to nobody expecting us. We then asked for 2 bottles of prosecco on their 241 saturday evening offer but they only had 1 bottle. We were told more was on it's way within 30mins so we chose to buy them based on this. 40 mins later still no other bottle and to be told they were still another 15mins away. We had to keep asking and in the end asked for something else which seemed like a big issue but we had reservations else where and needed to leave. In the end we were given a bottle of wine instead. There were flies and wasps all in the bar bit and no attempts to get rid of them or keep them off glasses and cocktail making equipment. The hen is allergic to wasp stings so this was quite I concern. Unhappy customers who will not be returning.

A suprise afternoon cream tea for my 50th birthday and walked out in disgust. Food brought down dumped on bar dry cake and scones and not very appertising sandwiches. We were told to keep the children quiet as it echoed upstairs. But they were told children would be in the party and we had to pay for them . We asked the lady about drinks tea or Cocktails if you wanted to pay more she said she would take orders and went upstairs after half an hour nobody came. So I asked a man that had been in and out carrying boxes. He said they had no facilities to make tea kettle was broke. I said you don't have afternoon creme tea without tea children weren't even given a glass of juice. I asked to speak to the manager he said he was the manager. He said he would go see what he could do we waited I went upstairs he was just serving people at the bar. I said what's happening because I am waiting to eat my food but want tea with it. He said they have a coffee machine he will try sort something but it will take a while. I said we had been in there over an hour with children we had to keep quiet the youngest being two I wasn't waiting any more and we paid our deposit and wasn't paying any more I told the family we were leaving. They had around £60 deposit the food was no were near that much and most of it was left. My birthday was ruined . Disgusting service we would if been better treated at MC Donald's

Superb cocktail afternoon tea at 1901 Turkey Cafe! One of the best afternoon teas I've ever had. It was so delicous, it came with a selection of sandwiches, devon scones with jam and cream, a slice of lemon drizzle each, an individual eton mess each and a cocktail of your choice. We recieved brilliant service from the staff who were very helpful. Highly recommended!

Went on a quiet Tuesday night, really nice place and decor. Bar man was fab, a dude called Alex, was cool watching him make our cocktail and set it on fire.

I went on a Saturday evening. A nice vibe and atmosphere with good drinks and the bar keep are friendly and helpful. The music was a good mix of electronic house, dance and familiar house classics that are easy to flow with. Unfortunately the Downstate dance area was closed off for a private function. Will definitely go back to experience this also. All in all a good night out!

Not been for many years until last night. Very short on cocktail ingredients - asked for 3 different ones until I found one they could make. Staff were pleasant so I didn't complain. Towards the very end of my boyfriend's glass of wine he spat out something that resembled the equivalent of the 'skin' you get on hot milk. We showed the staff who then offered a replacement glass but only a very small one (we'd paid for a large). At this point one of the barmen started to be less than polite. We then asked for a refund instead of the replacement which I don't think was a full refund. My boyfriend was meanwhile taking a photo of the weird thing in the glass and the barman held the glass and tried to forcibly remove it from us. A real shame as the rest of the staff were very nice and the whole thing could have been handled much more nicely. No need for rudeness and aggression, could have been discussed amicably. Sour end to my visit - I probably won't visit again, definitely not when that barman is there.
