This Antipodean-inspired chain is a safe bet for watching sport but, if you’re after anything other than a cheap drink in a run-of-the-mill chain, then you’re better off elsewhere.

The Venue
The interior is anonymously furnished with stools and high tables, with a few sofas padding out the seating options. A long wooden counter provides plenty of room for service and large LCD screens dominate proceedings. The venue offers discounted drinks during the week, and the main club nights tend to take place at the weekends.

The Atmosphere
Atmosphere is what this bar lacks the most. Noisy and not so clean, the redeeming feature of the LCD screens mean it’s okay to watch the match (indeed this bar has good coverage of major sporting events), but why keep them on even when music is playing? The fact that they charge a nominal door fee (around £3) for entry at weekends is incredibly short sighted.

The Food
The food selection is quite interesting: kangaroo meat dishes are the house speciality (grilled kangaroo fillet, £8; kangaroo curry, £6.20), but you can also find inexpensive mixed platters (£9.20) and chicken and beef burgers (all less than £6). Expect generous portions served with sides and dips.

The Drink
As an Antipodean-style pub chain, you will find, as well as the usual lagers, Aussie and Kiwi beers, at around £3 per pint. The Jacob’s Creek wine selection, at around £11, represents good value, too. Drinks are very cheap, especially if you hold a Boomerang card (£3), which entitles you to a discount.

The Last Word
Pop-in if you are looking for a cheap pint and a place to watch the game, or you have time to kill and are short on ideas, otherwise, avoid.
