Great venue to watch live football, wherever you sit you can see a screen clearly. I had the ribs and thought they were excellent.

A really bad experience.
I was there with friends and we wait 20 minutes for the waitress to take the order, they where chatting with each other having a good time. I interrupt them and ask if they can take the order, one of them look at me in really bad way and when i went back to my friends i can ear her giving bad comment about us, it was really embarrassing for me because i live in london and my friends where here to visit me. I really want to leave but my friends did't notice anything. The manager turns up and went to the waitresses and start to flirt with them. It was shocking. At the end the food was average but the bill was very expensive and I had to pay the service aswell. They will never see me again and I will tell my colleagues from work about the treatment I received.

The Worst place ever. The manager with glasses looks like a chicken when as the neck cut off,very rude and no professional whatsoever.The big guy and the old woman sitting and the end of the bar giving direction to the staff in a very rude and unprofessional manners to the staff in front of the customer looks very disgusting, i hope the staff is pay well to afford such a treatment. The food is crap, best burger in england? COME ON!! All the food taste frozen and chip and they charge 9 pound for a burger. Drinks are too expensive, 2.50 pound for a small coke on draft and 8 pound for a double g&t way to expensive for drinks served in dirty glasses... I can't give them zero stars but i really hope they will close the doors and change job.

Was at the Sports Bar & Grill today have to say the food and service were both of an exceptionally high standard.... However the longer I was there the more I realised how much criticism the staff take from a manager (well at least I think he was) who is so full of his own self importance! This guy seriously does not give his staff one second from what I seen the poor chef got it in the neck twice in the space of one hour, He was so busy critiquing everybody else, that he doesn't even realise that he is the problem..Talking to his staff in the manner he does not only in front of other members of staff but customers too.

Finally to the staff, thank you for a lovely meal and a mostly enjoyable experience and I hope you are getting paid well to be able to stick "the big bad boss man"

This place is seriously lacking in any atmosphere to call itself a sports bar. The staff, especially the waiting staff, are up tight and very unapproachable. The food is ok but due to a man sat in the corner, who I assume was the manager, barking orders across the restaurant it was not an enjoyable experience. Was hard to relax and it feels like this place is striving to punch above it's weight slightly, would never come here to watch sports and it is too over priced for a quick bite before a journey.
But if you like your venues without character and the feeling that the staff are about to crack then this is the place for you.

The best sports bar in London, the perfect place to watch the early Sky game and then move on to watch your respective team play on a saturday afternoon, the screens are awesome and the service is second to none.

What a refreshing experience for a Sports Bar & Grill. Great food, friendly staff and most importantly an abundance of screens to watch the game.

There clearly was a big gap in the market for this kind of place and I think the Sports Bar & Grill Marylebone may well have filled it.

ps. Make sure you try out fillet streak - fantastic!

Heard nothing but good things about this place. Surprisingly few decent places to watch sport and play pool/darts near central London when there's a few of you.

An excellent venue with the biggest HD screens in London, guaranteed to show whatever sport is on....gets busy on champions league night so probably an idea to book. Food is pretty good in the restaurant but i prefer the bar snacks and a game of pool downstairs - this is exactly what Marylebone needs as the place is rubbish for pubs....

If I could give less than one star I would. Just had an astonishingly bad experience here. Went in to watch the Champions League football and found a nice table underneath the screen showing the United game. Within two minutes of sitting down a waitress came over and told me I couldn't sit there unless I was eating as I was in the 'restaurant area'.

This, despite the fact that there were precisely three people sitting in the 'restaurant area' and that the bar area - where I would have to stand - was packed. I politely replied that, if it was okay with her, I would prefer to stay where I was, drink my (4 pound!!!) bottle of Peroni, and watch the football. Within thirty seconds, a manager came out and very agressively suggested that I either move to the bar area or leave the premises. I chose the latter.

For a bar/restaurant that has been open for less than a month, I find it astonishing that a manager would treat a customer in such a way. I'm a big football fan and live locally, so could conceivably see myself spending a lot of time and money in a place like this.

They've lost a customer - I will absolutely not be going back and nor would I recommend any one else to go there, so my football-loving mates will be frequenting another local establishment - it's not like The Sports Bar and Grill is the only place showing the football!!!

The staff are rude and amateurish, and in a very British way would rather impose their own authority over their customers than make them feel welcome.So depressing.
