the rocket, Bloomsbury, London

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.
