The Bloomsbury, Twickenham

Bucking Fastard left this review about The Bloomsbury

Situated on a street corner with a large,colourful patio beer garden to the front,the slatted blinds in all the windows create a negative image and also make the interior a bit gloomy.The apex entrance leads directly to the L shaped bar,with a sports lounge to the left with a large flatscreen televising Sky,BT and terrestrial sport,using a drop down screen if necessary.There is a seperate darts throw.Lots of high tables here ,with a banquette near the bar and an unused small stage.
To the right is a long section with less emphasis on sport and more normal tables and chairs.Everywhere wall decoration is focussed on offcuts of timber.The muzaK was not needed and a bit too loud.Closed on Mondays,opening at 4pm during the week there may well have been food avaiable but I was just in for a drink.
Four handpumps,but Wainwright reversed and just London Pride available at £5.20 clear but with a developing tang,NBSS 2.It may have been in the pipes for a while .
Regulars drifted in once it opened at 4pm but apart from a good place to watch sport there is little to demand another visit,it's a local pub for local people.
