Rochester Bar @ Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel, Rochester

The Rochester bar is situated at the top end of the high street. This is another early opener so i was in here just after 10am. Once inside there is a small area to the front right which is carpeted and has leather settees and a few bucket chairs and tables,the bar is in the middle of the pub,the seating in this area is tall tables and chairs,the rear area is very large with a bar to the rear not in use and one of the most beer stained pool tables i have ever seen to the right. I did'nt expect any real ales on here,so i was not surprised to find the only bitter being John Smiths Extra Cold Crap which lived up to its name. Crap background music was playing,there were a few other drinkers in on my morning visit who looked like they were in for a good session. This pub was handy for a pre 11am drink,but not much more.

This L-shaped high street bar must be the scabbiest, smelliest bar in the historic part of Rochester. Full of work-shy coffin dodgers, it reeks of puke outside and bleach inside. Having swerved around the NHS wheelchair to get through the door, we trod carefully around the inert superannuated revellers to reach the apathetic moron at the bar to find there was no real ale - indeed they didn't seem to understand the concept of beer. We didn't try going through to the back as that seemed a step too far. Don't bother. No, really - don't bother.
