Cheap booze, good music no frills.
Went into the Standard after a meal at The Nazar Lounge & before going to see Jimmy Carr . The Standard …. Ordered myself a double gin & lemonade ..came with melting ice & in a grubby plastic glass . I stared at it in disbelief & was asked by the bar staff “ everything ok ? “ in a abrupt tone . Also got a half a lager shandy , again in plastic . I watched it poured & bar lady kept topping up after removing froth a few times . My partner returned it & asked for another which was as bad . Drainage issues as it smelt in there & witnessed bar lady trying discreetly walk through the pub spraying cheap air freshener Shall not be returning.
I found this pub completely unsuitable for anyone with a mobility issue or other disability as the only seating was high bar stools or chairs that were also too high for me to sit on and so the only place I could sit was on a sofa which was situated at the back of the bar in an alcove with no view at all of the stage. The toilets were also only accessible by stairs. The music as well was far too loud and I will never go back there or Recommend it to anyone.
Very pleasant atmosphere, listening to good quality jazz played by local people. Good customer service at bar. No complaints!
A quite spacious pub/bar rights on High street, Bedford town centre. You won't miss it, just look for the real human size statues of Laurel and Hardy. Beautifully decorated inside & outdoor upstairs. There's movie night every Monday night, and live music Wednesday or Friday with fantastic talented singers & musicians. The food, pizza is delicious, while the price is quite cheap. Fried chicken is delicious too!
