Lounge

About

Lounge is a popular British café‑bar and restaurant brand that has become a go‑to destination across the UK. Originating from Bristol’s North Street in 2002, the first Lounge was launched by Alex Reilley, David Reid and Jake Bishop in a converted opticians unit, beginning as a simple bar before expanding to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Today the brand boasts over 250 outlets nationwide, blending flagship sites with satellite concepts like Cosy Club and Brightside. Each venue prides itself on a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere – featuring free Wi‑Fi, a full bar, outdoor seating, and a menu that caters to families, vegans, and those with gluten‑free needs. Whether you’re having a relaxed brunch in a lively courtyard or a late‑night drink in a spacious, well‑lit bar, Lounge offers a laid‑back, welcoming setting that has earned it a strong local following and frequent appearances on travel and food guides.
