| Probably wouldn't spend the whole night here as it is small but the booze is cheap especially in happy hour with the Sailor Jerry Rum! Brilliant jukebox and some occasional bands make for a good start or end to a night. Toilets aren't the best but then us metalheads are used to that! I often go here before or after garlic and shots (down in the dungeon of course) TheTrooper - 13 Mar 2011 22:00 |

| Entirely unimpressed with this place. Pokey, uncomfortable, and the only cider they've got is Kopparberg so if you don't like that and you're a cider drinker then bad luck I'm afraid. The toilets are also awful, it isn't worth going here just for the metal soundtrack. catfitz - 10 Apr 2010 13:59 |
| So, Chris, it's exactly the same as it's always been yeah?? The Crobar (stupid bloody name) is like an overpriced student union with a jukebox that only plays rock and metal, really. Which is fine, if you're in the mood for that sort of thing. When the Astoria was still down this way, there was actually the off-chance of seeing music types in here grabbing a quick pre-gig drink (supposedly Pink was in here a couple of years back, although I really can't picture it!). I'd guess that the chances of that happening now are pretty slim... This remains the only place I've ever been physically thrown out of and barred from, for the crime of pouring most of a bottle of Hobgoblin onto the floor. So if you're looking to escape this place - that's one way to do it. Happy memories. matt_k - 15 Mar 2010 11:43 |
| Ugh. Well, this is one of those places that you're going to find yourself at some point. It's ok. I mean, it's too small, the toilets a... I don't know, maybe there's a word that can describe them but it escapes me. The thing I like about this bar is that it plays rock and metal. Everything else about it is totally rubbish. The drinks are overpriced and, come on, Red Stripe in a bloody can?! Every time I've been in at least one of the bar staff has been in a right strop, I've spent the whole time either suffling past people or shuffling for them to get past, and then you're not allowed to take your drink outside when the smell of stale hippy gets too much. Good music, open late. Crap bar, crap toilets, crap booze. I'm torn... chris_g - 25 Jan 2010 16:34 |
