I never liked their steaks anyway, have you ever wondered why there are no dobermans in town. I wonder if the owners will turn it into a lapdancing venue. Thats what t'word on the street is!"

On 11-7-2006 mrtruth said : "The comments about this establishment are laughable, as is the bar itself. I can only think that the authors either have a vested interest in Metro or else they have never set foot outside of Lancaster in their lives.
Metro is poor, poor, poor. It's like being in an early Tom Cruise film except with one of the Chuckle Brothers and located in Pontins. Avoid."

It looks like it's aimed at prostitutes and footballers. I really like it! The nights with the band Get Carter are especially good."

All the other wannabe cocktail bars in Lancaster are, this is the best by far. Everyone else should take note of what they do and how they do it. Beautiful girls, well trained with a product knowledge second to none. Why can't every bar be as versatile as this than some corporation dictating you will make drinks this way with only these ingredients, I waited 10 minutes for 3 Mojito's made with Bacardi 8. But what a wait, the barstaff talked me through the process of producing the best Mojito I have ever tasted. They offered variants, So i tried a fantastic vanilla & a rich mango one. On my next visit the staff remembered me and asked straight Mojito sir? I felt like a celebrity. I declined the mojito, and tried the managers specialities one bombay bramblette, and a tennesse berry mule - the latter you wouldn't even know it was made with Jack Daniels single barrel until the aftertaste, JD & berries & ginger who would have imagined. I'm going back to work my way through the cocktails and the new food menu."

Spare a moment to look at the fantastic new photography on the walls. I read an article about art in pubs in the guardian. Well done the sun hotel, and all the others but I think you will find that Sante was the first place in town to showcase local artists. Its amazing the sheer beauty and not too much either. The staff are by far the best in town surpassing all other establishments, they are friendly helpful and full of energy. (Check out the hot coffee coloured manager mmmmm) They have by far the best food in town and serve all day from the lunchtime right through to closing without a break most days, unknown in most venues!"

Food is absolutely amazing, absolute top class nosh and nowhere near as expensive as it used to be. Paid £53 for a meal for two (three courses) and a bottle of wine - would have paid £100 for something similar in Manchester. Top top place. Tip of the day - go on Friday cos Saturday is always completely packed."

Fantastic food, really never seen before in Lancaster - every dish is a work of art - I heartily recommend this place, I've been waiting for something like this to arrive in Lancaster for years. Didnt really venture into the bar, however it seemed to have a simple but very modern style to it. Oh - the bar was absolutely packed - this place is getting busy !"

I paid £2.30 for a shot 2 months ago (last time i was here) now it's £1.70, the beers are more varied and the music is less ridiculous !! They're getting draught beer next week apparently, which will make the place even more attractive. Talking of attractive, the place is full of girls - they love it here - when the draught arrives it'll become a place frequented by both sexes Im sure ! A place to be seen in..."

It takes bar design to a new level (like it or not) in Lancaster. Cutting edge design, exceptional lighting and fittings (chairs, tables etc) straight out of a designer magazine. Needs a little more work, needs to be more user friendly but you can't fault the effort. Not tried the restaurant - but I've wandered around it - quite simply it's a beautiful looking restaurant."

On 10-5-2004 tinytony said : "Not eaten here yet but I have frequented the bar once or twice. Nice array of beers and cocktails, the music has become much more commercial as they attempt to broaden their appeal. However, it remains a bar years ahead of it's time and probably a little too ahead for Lancaster."

On 31-1-2004 dale said : "Food in restaurant is of a high quality, though portions could be a little bigger for the money!
Be wary of Friday and Saturday nights, food can take a little while to be served.
One night I went it was very slow, although this was recognised by the staff and we got a free bottle of wine as compensation.
The bar downstairs is quite upmarket for Lancaster."
