| Now this, my friends, is an odd one. I`ll start off by stating it�s a James Bond theme pub. And yes, I know exactly whats going through your minds now �a lucid mix of bikini`d lovelies stirring cocktails with their nipples, disfigured henchmen handing out water pistols, sexual innuendoes drifting through the sound system and a giant Roger Moore eyebrow suspended above the bar. However, alas, Goldfingers doesn�t have the budget to stretch to this, or indeed anywhere near it. For the extent of the �theme� in this edge of city centre pub is a plentiful if slightly dizzying array of bog standard Bond pictures and posters nailed to a sickly yellow, erm, Golden, painted wall. And that is it � there isnt a nice arsed beauty or a one eyed midget in sight. They don�t even have a Pussy Galore ale. Initially therefore the reality of Goldfingers is something of a disappointment (why even bother to claim to be a theme bar if sticking a few mouldy pics up is the best you can do?), as really its just an ordinary boozer trying to make itself slightly different in a very cackhanded and camp kind of way. But, softie that I am, I do appreciate its effort at charachter in a world where manufactured spoons and S&L are spreading throughout the land like a STD in a whorehouse. And underneath the garish tat is a relatively decent pub, with a good selection of drinks, friendly but speedy service, and a pretty cracking pool table nicely set apart in a separate part of the pub. So it has some residual appeal underneath its vomit-coloured exterior and hence deserves at least a 6/10. anonymous - 15 Apr 2005 16:02 |
