The Study Room in Lancaster

went in for coffee and cake. our cappuccino came, which was a weak americano with some foam on top. who puts water in a cappuccino? two cakes on display must’ve gone stale as the bartender came out and told us she was going to defrost some cakes so they’d be about ten minutes. slightly concerning as you’re most definitely not supposed to defrost cake in the microwave, we did feel ill later but cannot be certain it was down to the cakes. servers were rude, sat at a table on their phones when we arrived and appeared frustrated at us arriving. it’s a shame because we’ve been a few times for drinks before and really enjoyed the drinks and service, would not recommend after this experience.

Coffee and a cake deal for £4, ordered 2 cakes, a cappuccino and an americano, coffee came clearly just a shot of espresso topped up with water in the cappuccino tasted literally like dish water and I’m not usually fussy with coffee. Then we were told that our cake was ‘just defrosting’! Waited 5 mins for the cake and when it arrived it was genuinely disgusting and chunky, couldn’t finish either. Girl on the bar was rude and abrupt we’re not the type to complain usually as we both work in hospitality ourselves but this was genuinely a horrible experience and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone visiting / living in Lancaster - Tuesday 5th July 4:20pm

Rude customer service, my friend is gluten intolerant and when the food arrived, she double checked with our server to make sure the burger was gluten free to which she received the reply "I guess", then put the food down and walked away, which leads me to question their allergen procedures. In addition to this, plates were cleared from our table when we hadn't all finished, and the overall experience means I won't be visiting again.

Very good food and environment. The staff is lovely.

Been here many time its a really nice bar friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Currently working in Lancaster; I have ordered the chickpea, spinich and sweet potato curry twice ! It was so good the first time, I just had to order again. Fresh and very tasty - best takeaway to date 👍

Nice food, good prices for city centre. Food was tasty. Tables a bit sticky and the music was a bit loud, but very clean ladies bathroom.

Much more cosy and sophisticated than other venues on the same street, The Study Room is a lovely place for a nice drink and chat.I've never eaten there, but the food is known for being good value for money.It's on the small side, but attracts a much less boisterous crowd and is much less loud than other bars.Cocktails here are nice, and the prices aren't extortionate either. Lovely place for a chilled drink.

Went for lunch and mocktails today, the food, drinks and service was excellent. The place was very clean and well decorated

The food was brilliant, had the vegan chili dog. Only downside was one of the bar staff was clearly hungover and looked as if they didn't want to be there. Was waiting at the bar whilst they were looking at their phone instead of serving customers. Just seemed unprofessional. The other staff were great however.
