the rocket, Bloomsbury, London

Good for students but not only. Nice atmosphere. It's great place if you have lot's of energy and not to much money. Cheap drinks and beers. Tasty and cheap food. Great atmosphere and lot's of crazy people. Nice music (Fridays). Seats outside, space to dance. Just the toilets could more taking care of.

Very popular with students (along with the Court on Tottenham Court Road), largely because it's fairly reasonably priced and conveniently located close to Euston, King's Cross and UCL. Decent atmosphere in the evenings at weekends, with DJ/karaoke and a pool table if you can get there early enough to grab a spot. Not too bad to watch football in either.

Great atmosphere, good and cheap food

foods ok

Very cheap pub. Food is ok.

Need to come back some time and maybe see this place in a better light.
On the plus side it had a energetic atmosphere and the beer seemed really cheap.
This was all undone though by quite simply the longest wait for a drink I’ve experienced in London. It wasn’t even that busy, but it took nearly half an hour to get served. People (including myself) were getting a bit grumpy as we all pressed and waited while an understaffed and underpaced team waddled around the bar.
I’ll come back though and maybe it will be different. Can’t go past cheap beer!

This is great if you’re young. Past the age of thirty however and you just want everyone to shut up and calm down and for th emusic to be quieter. The beer is not as cheap as you think it’s going to be, but they do serve exotic stuff like Fruhli. There is a big dancing area where drunk people sometimes cut a rug, and lots of chairs and sofas and things for those of us who have to rest our joints. The toilets are downstairs and are horrible. The bloke’s is drowned in an enthusiastic amount of piss. It stays open late, and would probably appeal most to teenagers.

I can’t think of the last time I had an All Day Breakfast that was such good value for money. Everything else on the menu looked to be equally keenly priced - possibly as the place is a Scream pub but I was under the impression that the cheapness therein such places was only for students.

Either way no quibbles about that or the service, ambience or number of screens on which to watch the football should you wish to do so.

Handily situated for both King’s Cross/St. Pancaras & Euston stations as well as plenty of buses & The British Library.

The Rocket is a sort of sports bar/pub located 2mins away from Kings Cross Stations. It is equipped with Sky on widescreens, an old style jukebox, 2 pool tables, fruit machines and quiz machines. There is extensive outdoor seating which is great in summer and meals are served during the day. The food inst really the great however and is only a small step above the Weathersoppns microwave-meals.
I'm not really into sports bars, I’d really prefer something different but....

... on Saturday nights it's £1 pint!

This makes it more worth it, there crowd is mainly young students in the evenings - probably as there are 3 university hall within 200 meters and this is the union bar for students at the Royal Vet nary College.
