Our second stop in Rugby was this branch of Wetherspoon's. There was the usual Greene King selection - Abbot, Morland Old Speckled Hen & Ruddles Best, along with Sharp's Doom Bar, Robinson's Trooper, Phoenix Wobbly Bob & Sarah Hughes' Dark Ruby Mild. The cider was Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon. Exposed pipework give the place a modern feel. Not too bad. We moved on from here to the Town & County Club (not listed on BITE).

Good spoons.

Basic, but modern looking 'spoons...beer selection not very extensive (unlike spoons normally) when i went in...but i had a pint, played the quiz machine and watched the sports news on the tele behind the bar..what more could you want....well loads more actually!
The London Inn had less than a qtr of the poeple in that this place had but it still had more life to it.

I like this pub because it does what it says on the tin. It's a Wetherspoons and it delivers cheap beer and food. I expect nothing more and nothing less.
|
Its a Wetherspoons......(What did you expect?)
|
Not as bad (on my visit) as some of the reviews I have noticed. Vast cavern of a pub built on the site of the old indoor market. Not much to say really - it's a Wetherspoons and doesn't pretend to be anything else. Beer was ok even though the selection was not particularly adventurous.

a bit too big, like every jd weths places, but i like this one, as it offers a cheap diner. chilli con carne is delicious, and some offers are quite cheap. the curries can be better though...

Stay away! Food cheap and nasty. Beer the same.
|
Loathe this pub. Seen it all in there - drunks, sluts, 90 odd year old men coming on to my mother :/, men having fights with bouncers and falling down the steps only to crack their heads open - top stuff. Avoid like the plague as you will probably catch it if you go in.
|
congratulations to this pub for creating some new and fascinating diseases. coupled with an incredibly rude manager the rupert brooke has now become a repulsive place.stay ever wrapped up in ur own misconceived self importance

Lager = good. Bitter != good. This bar, aka airport lounge, really is a place one goes when forced. Personal hygiene of most customers is quite dubious.

Cheapish- but like hell on earth. The cleanliness of most of the inhabitants is questionable and so is the likelihood of them being near 18. Avoid like the plague- unless you want to join in with the other mindless teenagers getting wrecked off their faces for not v.much. Long live J.D W

If you like cheap beer in a place with the atmosphere of an airport waiting lounge then this is for you. Slow, apathetic barstaff. Filthy glasses. Hoi poloi clientelle. But you can get drunk cheap :-)

Well it's a JD Wetherspoons. So we all know what they are like, you either love em or hate em (I myself like them)
