user reviews of the Rupert Brooke, Rugby

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

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).

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.

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)
