Originally a part of Dawson’s Department Store, Maxwell’s Café Bar was completed in 2002 and has since enjoyed success as a popular venue for locals and tourists alike.
Since opening, Maxwells has expanded to include a heated outdoor seating area and an open-air roof terrace, providing customers the opportunity to make the most of the summer months.
Here at Maxwells we strive to provide a relaxed, friendly atmosphere complemented by fine wines, great food and excellent service.
The 3 of us had a thoroughly wonderful meal at Maxwells. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The staff are very accommodating. Originally, we had booked a… read more rooftop table, however, it was one of the hottest days and we asked to be reseated. No problem whatsoever; a table was found within a couple of minutes of our request. We have a rebooked a table for Septembe. We would definitely recommend Maxwells.
Celebrated a Birthday here for my daughter & the manager couldn’t do enugh for us. Thank you for the fantastic hospitality and thoroughly enjoyable lunch. The vegan in our party… read more really appreciated the vegan menu too. We will be back.
Visited one sunny lunch time with limited time of only an hour. Greatest with a smile and shown to a table on the roof terrace. Ordered drinks immediately and as… read more they came a few minutes later ordered food. I have to say as someone with coeliac disease this place is amazing. So much choice. I have the chicken club sandwich on gluten free bread and it was amazing. Best sandwich I’ve had out and about for a long time. Service was really quick which meant myself and my partner were in and out within the hour, even had time for a quick look in Dawsons next door. A very well run establishment and would highly recommend.
It was great to have somewhere with outdoor seating, with overhead cover and some heating to meet up with friends. Extensive menu. I don’t think the food is outstanding, however… read more it’s reasonably priced and everyone enjoyed what they had. It was a great place for meeting up in the current circumstances.
Was shopping next door at the department store and called in for a coffee and a snack. Sat outside on the terrace in the sun which is nice. Very pleasant… read more interior

I had a great time at Maxwells! A friend and I visited when we still weren’t allowed to sit indoors (couple of weeks ago) so we sat on the roof… read more terrace and it was fabulous! Fully covered, with heaters for when it got a bit chilly, what is there to complain about? The food was delicious also, and we very much enjoyed our drinks (would very much recommend the cocktail pitchers). The service was good; the staff had it running like clockwork and were being very covid-conscious. It was a wonderful night out all round!
One thing to note: if you’re going to make the bathrooms a one in one out rule, then I’d suggest stopping groups of girls from going in all at once to take photos with each other. I didn’t care but others might.

The staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive.
The food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait long considering it was very busy at the time.
We all felt that the prices were very reasonable too.
Couldn’t fault it and we will definitely be returning.
Thank you all!
We regularly come here for something to eat and drink. The service is always prompt and the staff are very welcoming and hard working. Dogs are welcome on the front… read more terrace and always receive a treat. There’s a good selection of food on offer and often a weekly specials menu. We have always enjoyed our meals here. The roof terrace is lovely on a sunny day just to sit and watch the world go by with a glass or two. I would recommend this cafe bar.
