Cons:

  • "Overcrowded and incredibly loud."
  • "It was super busy and super loud."
  • "The atmosphere at this place really lets it down... we practically had to shout at each other to hear one another."

Entertainment

Pros:

  • "Attended Bibis for our works xmas do - we weren't disappointed. Great festive atmosphere and brilliant music which got us all up and dancing."
  • "The live band were really good, not too loud, just right."

Cons:

  • "But wasn't expecting the Michael Bublé tribute act all afternoon which was too loud and sadly out of tune for some songs."
  • "There’s a poor band on, really loud and we are at the back of the bar which is poor and absolutely freezing."
  • "Bibis holds tribute acts which I believe to be the main draw of crowds. These often get mixed reviews."
  • "Foods great, however they have a live band that plays sometimes which is ridiculously loud and we had to leave."
  • "1 star cause they don't even warn you about these rubbish live bands either."
  • "Sadly on our night no entertainment however."
  • "Also, do not think that food should continue to be served once the show has started - a distraction for guests trying to enjoy the entertainment and probably also the singers."
