S0223 Russell Court Hotel (Diceys)

This was meant to be the after-location for a 30th birthday party in S0208 The Bernard Shaw (visited many times before starting the blog).

The birthday boy didn't get in, although I was already in before him; so we moved on to Everleigh Gardens down the road - post below this one. Similar enough review for here, to be honest.

I had considered marking this licence off the list before as I had been in Bond briefly (same premises/licence) in the past, but didn't actually drink anything. Its done now, though.

Oh dear god.

N0041 Robert Reade

On my way to Oktoberfest on Friday evening (I wouldn't recommend bothering going unless you're already half-deaf, but as I've to go again with work in a few weeks I may revise that) I had to wait to meet up with some friends, and as the Brew Dock where I'd normally head in D1 was fairly busy I headed to Robert Reade a bit further down Store Street.

There isn't much to say about it, though. Had a pint of C&C's latest attempt to get some of the craft beer market share - Roundstone. Its not great, but it is very cheap.

It was a fairly brief visit that knocks a bar off the list. I'd return again as there was nothing wrong with the place, but 30 minutes on a Friday evening doesn't really give much of an impression.
