| According to the barman this has just been done up inside, but on a sunny day you want to sit in the pretty good beer garden anyway...which is probably the best I've found in Rochester. While they seem quite proud of their choice of ales none were particularly inviting, with only 3 pumps. And there's wine pumps on the bar, which is a bit wierd if you ask me. Odd selection of customers from an arguing family to women on lunch breaks and a couple of old geezers. Apparently it's one of the best places to see live Jazz in Kent. Which means I'll definitely avoid it on Sunday lunchtimes. Rating it a 6, mainly because of the beer garden. TranmereRaver - 30 Jun 2009 14:50 |
| This pub is very different depending on what time of the day/week and what time of the year you visit. During the day, it is completely deserted and has very little character compared to the other pubs locally. At the weekend, it can be pretty lively and gets very awkwardly full. When live music is on, it's generally an ok atmosphere. The owners clearly make an effort but it really falls down in so far as that it is situated amongst much better pubs. Not one to go out of your way for. Dunmall - 13 Jan 2009 10:36 |
| A large, well-lit and clean pub with an excellent garden located in the centre of Rochester high street. After talking to the staff (who were very friendly) I discovered that the pub has recently undergone a change of owner and full refurbishment. As well as the Jazz mentioned by other reviewers, I also found out that they run live music nights a couple of nights a week so will be venturing back to check them out in the near future. Beer was good and tasted well kept. I noticed that they also had a few real ales on as well as lager and cider, not being a real ale drinker I can't comment on them but will be taking back a few ale drinking friends to get their verdict. Didn't notice any "unruly" customers as mentioned by the previous reviewer, maybe they shouldn't judge the clientelle on just one visit? Would happily visit again and recommend this pub to others. mgreenway - 30 Jul 2008 12:14 |
| The Eagle Tavern is bare, dull, drab, mundane and a little depressing. The white wash walls and scruffy flooring hardly elevated the experience. Clientele within seemed basic in intelligence and the music (well, ‘dance’) was too loud for a Friday afternoon. However, the outdoor area seemed spending and well kept. I didn’t venture out there, but staring out through the window was certainly preferable to making contact with the unruly crowd sat at a nearby table. One solitary ale was on offer, but this is a lager pub. The toilets are a bit of a trek down a staircase, but were pleasingly clean. Weather permitting, I’d perhaps visit for the garden, but with our weather, well lets just say, Friday (8th Feb) will probably prove to be my sole visit. HTM69 - 10 Feb 2008 18:20 |
