"I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying good quality drinks (for example Pimm's No 1), and indeed fine dining at the very long established Electric Bar on the southern east flank of Central Motherwell. Located a short walk from the town centre. By all accounts this very long established, and most popular Pub/Diner, offered superb value for money here. In terms of dining space, I understand this remains at just under two hundred [200]. Evidently, very much a spacious establishment located near Motherwell’s sometimes bustling town centre. On approaching this fine eatery, one is met by a disabled friendly car park, then an alfresco dining experience. In addition free wifi, inside and out. My only concern was that they could perhaps increase the accessible parking spaces for patrons. As a disabled customer myself, I found ample car parking space at the Electric Bar on Airbles Road. The main entrance to this large popular establishment had very easy access too, with useful cabin hooks to peg back main entrance doors for ease of convenience assisting this restaurant disabled patrons, the restroom was also very accessible. First impressions inside, The decor was good, fresh and modern adding to the overall ambience of this particular establishment. I was delighted to be greeted by very friendly staff members, for example the highly experienced restaurateur Samantha and her esteemed colleague Carmen. I found all the staff at the Electric Bar polite, well presented and faultless. They had a useful cube on tables to summon service. I saw on offer a vast range of popular brand name spirits’, wines’, bottled/draught beers’, cocktails ciders’ vermouths' and traditional pub snacks. Moreover, a variety of non alcoholic beers and spirits to boot [for those unlucky enough to undertake driving home taxi duties]. With my evening ‘tipple’, I very much enjoyed a large glass of Pimms No1 cup,a real treat and would recommend it, especially now that we are already in the very thick of the UK tennis grass court season. With quality lunches, and indeed very extended opening hours from 11 am till late most days who can complain. Gratuities are of course discretionary. A large pleasant dining area was outside for those preferring a quiet drink or family meal alfresco. I would personally recommend a visit for locals, visitors and tourists alike. In terms of sports in this area of North Lanarkshire, then we have the famous Well’ football team, not to mention Strathclyde Country Park, and indeed other national attractions for example the sprawling Ravenscraig National Sports Centre. For rugby fans, we also have great facilities at Dalziel Rugby Club nearby. For track and field, there is the nearby Wishaw sports complex. Last but by no means least, we also have nearby Hamilton with buzzing NightLIfe. To reiterate a very impressive seating capacity which if required could accommodate around 180 patrons, The fairly large town of Motherwell itself [approx 36, 000 population] is well known for being one of Scotland’s major Steeltown. In my opinion, this Airbles Road Electric Bar fine quality diner remains perfect for conversations and meeting up with family, friends and colleagues. And also recommended for the sports enthusiast too. In my subjective opinion, I would award 9.5 out of ten for this long established pub/restaurant right near the centre of ‘steeltown’ Motherwell. Well worth a visit, and certainly fine dining at competitive prices I would recommend."
