Rochester Bar @ Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel, Rochester

Due to the outside décor and advertisements for cheap food and drink one could be forgiven for thinking that the Rochester Bar is owned by Wetherspoons. Once inside this L shaped pub any thoughts of it being a Spoons soon disappear as this venue is aimed at the younger drinkers of the area and they seem quite proud of their extensive (Jager) bomb menu. There is a standard draught selection available from the bar and I ended up with a half of Fosters from the very friendly staff as there is no Guinness in here. There are plasma screens throughout for showing Sky Sports and there is another bar at the rear of the pub to compliment the front bar when the pub gets busier, which I’d imagine happens late on weekend evenings as it wasn’t very busy at 19:30 on the recent Saturday evening I visited. There is a jukebox and some random pop music was playing at a reasonably acceptable volume. I think that there are pubs in the area more suited to my mid thirties age range and when next in Rochester I will stick to them.
