Had a fantastic evening at The Tea Bar, enjoying live music by Ultralight, bar prices were competitive, and the crowd and staff were fantastic! No hint of trouble, everyone just enjoying a few drinks and the music, great atmosphere!

Had a lovely pot of English tea at The Tea Bar, in a proper tea cup. The cakes and sweet choices were irresistible. Would highly recommend stopping here, getting off your feet for a brew and relaxing in one of the very comfortable sofas

Not just a Tea bar. Had a great coffee with a good slice of cake. Some good choices of IPA beers in the fridge as well. Comfy sofas and great customer service!! Will be back in the evening to check out some of their events.

Fabulous from start to finish. Always a great atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff. Very welcoming whether popping in on your own or with a few friends. The decor is very cool and a highlight for me is definitely the variety of live music every weekend from acoustic artists or a full band, all tastes are catered for...I've never been disappointed. Would 100% recommend a visit day or night 😊 love this place!

Great venue for live music, with a real mix of musicians and styles to suit most tastes, I personally like almost all of the acts playing here. Staff are diligent and friendly, door staff are great, keeping a low profile unless required, even then they seem nice and efficient so trouble is kept to a minimum so it has a really good vibe, a really good place to have a night out

Such a great place to go with great live music and an awesome atmosphere. The bar staff are so friendly and always polite, they even dance behind the bar which is great to see... Happy employees. I've been a few times and I have always had fun and a great night out. Tea Bar staff you do a brilliant job. Well done
Wandered in by chance on Saturday evening and so glad I did. Wasn't sure what to expect. Absolutely loved it. Place had a lovely vibe about it, smiley happy staff, had live music on, crowd were very chilled. Definitely coming back. So much nicer than some of the more intimidating pubs in central Basingstoke
My favourite place to go for an evening out. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Bands and musicians to suit everyone’s taste. Always guaranteed a good night out.
Had a great night out in here with a live musician. Great atmosphere. Had a brilliant night. The only thing is, we had a cocktail that wasn't made right. We took it back and the barman refused to redo it properly.

Great bit of lunch today between shopping and hair cuts. The soup of the day was just what was needed for this time of year, and the baked camambert is a solid favourite on the menu. The cocktails were well made, with THE best Mojito in town. Friendly staff, great service. Always a pleasure to be here.
Came as part of a large party for my Nan's 85th birthday and the staff were incredible. Catering for fussy children, keeping the tea topped up and just generally accommodating all of us. A lovely ambience with the background Jazz band. Would recommend.
The biggest and best hot chocolate I have ever had. Staff really friendly and attentive. Jacket potato also very nice. Will definitely come back. Great space to sit. Good wifi too.
