yeah the last few weeks hasnt been the best. Since new years day the enthusiasm has gone. Its the best place to be before and after it just needs to pick up again.

I agree about the waiting time for a drink, i ended up walking out and gettign a couple of cans then coming back in after.

Waiting time in the Pins and the gunners Pub isn`t much better.
The Rocket is a great place, but needs to serve a quicker beer.
I recommend always to buy at least two when at the bar

the rocket

has been a bit flat as apposed to last year , but the bar was never that busy yesterday! i have found if you walk around the back to the otherside you get served straight away and doubling up always helps as well.

I like the Rocket but the service is crap. I usually double or treble up at the bar, but thats cos Im a beer hog :oops: I always find the atmosphere to be great, but thats cos I am the party and good atmospheres follow me.

I haven't been since the turn of the year so that would explain why you guys think it has gone downhill.8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :lol:

Have to say I think the Rocket is a bit tired and lacks atmosphere!

The waiting time for a drink is ridiculous and I won't be rushing back into there! When I do go it is only usually to meet people from here!

The Gunners and Herbert Chapman it is for me with a touch of Auld Triangle (Plimsoll Armas) thrown in for nostalgia!

yeh i aint been to the rocket in yonks (or said yonks for a while either).
The tollington aint too bad, but no atmosphere, and there is a che guevara style pub up the road from the tolly, or through the tunnel if ur comig from the ground, which has fit women working in it but again not a great atmosphere.
there must be a few more pubs about with a better atmopshere??
