it's now closed -along with half of Coventry. The area in the vicinity of the station is one vast building site where everything is closed (curry house opposite the station, station buffet etc) Only retail outlet in station was a small Smith. Add to that there are diversions for cars and pedestrians that add 10 minutes to get the short distance from the station to the city centre means you need to do a bit of planning and add a bit of time if you want an ale before your train.

TOP BOOZER. OLD SKOOL FRIENDLY LAND LORD . GOOD TUNES ON THE BOX , POOL AND BEER .WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT !
|
brilliant pub the landlord never fails to make you feel happy very friendly love going in my daughter who is 7 loves it in there having a good dance about I know she's safe always looked after
|
Opened out in to one big room (from the original multi-roomed layout) with pool table, estate feel and clientelle to match. No ale and no likliehood of any .Had a pint of Stella while pondering on the "We Are a Responsible Drinks Retailer" as a trio of half sloshed middle aged bints with too much horse flesh on display wobbled past to go for a smoke in the 'garden' (garden being the path down the side of the pub affording a view of the railway). Old tiling under the bar was the only redeeming feature. If you are really desperate for an alcohol fix this is the only pub near the station.

This was closed and boarded up today

The pub is freezing, but the staff are warm. Definitely a football pub on football days. On non-football days you can watch yourself, and your beer, shudder
from sympathy in this recession. Fabulous staff, pity about the customers. When they do arrive you realise the pub is better off with out them.......!

Very handy 4 the station and a pretty decent pint of bombardier, bit too much of a football pub though 4 my liking, 6/10
|
No, it's not rough, it's just crap.
Well's Bombardier the only beer on last time I was there, and it was undrinkable, a couple sips and out. Which teaches us an important rule: if it's not a real ale pub, don't be principled, go for Guinness, because the beer will be in bad nick. Learnt!
Dreadful, overall.

Ok pub, it's friendly and the beer is ok without being thrilling. Went in there recently and had a good night. A place for the more mature drinker such as myself.
|
pub is still there for sure. it is true it has a bad rep but i've not had too much bother in there. good place to get a late beer, you can def get served until 12 and i think until 2 most days, i usually go real late. always alot of filthy women about, you can get a match on pool table without it getting nasty and music is on.
|
The rocket is still there im in there every week, its a good pub, has a reputation for being rough but its not that bad. staff are friendly and has a good atmosphere
|
Most definitely still there, but on CCFC match days it can get a little lively as the base for opposition supporters coming in by rail
