Komakino . left this review about Bull Rodizio
After a brief incarnation as a US-themed bar/restaurant, the emphasis has shifted down the latitudes to South America and this place is now Bar Rodizio - a Brazilian-themed bar/churrascaria. Internally and externally, it's still as described below, and a few painted over windows and broken glass make a slightly unedifying sight upon approach. The "large second bar" now houses the restaurant section with a fairly spacious main bar set aside for the drinkers. Much emphasis on the cocktails, and just the one nod to us ale aficionados with Purity's Mad Goose chiming in at £3.80 and in fairly decent nick at that. They've perhaps missed a trick with the only Brazilian tipple being bottled Brahma in the fridge, but the loud background music more than makes up for it (although I was spared 'The Girl From Ipanema' and all the other Gilbertos). A unique venture, but certainly not one to make a special trip out for, unless you're of the voracious carnivore variety.

Large barn of a pub, a bit beaten up and not particularly welcoming. Large second bar at the back which I imagine is used for music or functions. If it's going to survive it needs some money spent on it.
