Bloom @ Crowne Plaza, Kings Cross, WC1

Visited 18/05/26. Visited previously 20/06/22. No cask. Keg offering of Madri, Staro and Doom Bar plus a range of equally unexciting lagers and ciders by the bottle. Bloom has its own roadside entrance as well as access via the hotel reception up a flight of stairs at the other end of the venue. It is L shaped with the bar counter along the rear wall with some tall stool seating at the bar counter. Venue is ceramic tiled with a boarded section in the middle of the floor space opposite the bar counter. Regular tables and chairs to the left of the roadside entrance and then some tall communal benches down the middle of the longer length of the venue on the bare boards with tall stools. There are some regular tables and chairs down the longer right-hand side in the windows. The venue stretches beyond the far end of the bar counter and the steps down to reception, and seating here is via some comfy fabric chairs serving low tables in the roadside windows and a long fabric set of banquettes down the left hand wall serving small round marble topped tables with fabric upholstered armchairs the other side thereof. No screens and low music and ambient lighting make this a pleasant hotel bar, just missing a more interesting beer range!
