What people are saying

Pariah State in Borrowdale is known more for its cocktails and atmosphere than its kitchen. Rachel (August 2026) said the cocktails were “really nice and definitely the highlight of the visit”, though service ran slower than expected. Martin (June 2026) called the food “Typical bar food, not the greatest platters but decent”, while praising the drinks, music and vibe. Veronica (2023) had chicken tenders sent back after they didn't taste right, but the wings' sauce and the daiquiris held up. Rufaro (May 2026) liked the full-sized coffee mugs, though wanted more than the single slice of toast that came with the breakfast special.

3.0 / 5

“Came here for lunch and had the wings n tenders platter and pork medallions. We also had strawberry daiquiris. Staff was polite and nice to us, unfortunately, our chicken tenders didn’t taste correct, so we had to send them back but they were replaced without any problems.”

Veronica · 2023

4.0 / 5

“The food was good. The group and I were a bit disappointed because the breakfast early riser offered only one slice of toast and no baked beans. We did like that their mugs for tea and coffee were not the usual miniature ones but the regular sized mugs. The service was good.”
