| Now this, my friends, is an odd one. I`ll start off by stating it’s a James Bond theme pub. And yes, I know exactly whats going through your minds now –a lucid mix of bikini`d lovelies stirring cocktails with their nipples, disfigured henchmen handing out water pistols, sexual innuendoes drifting through the sound system and a giant Roger Moore eyebrow suspended above the bar. However, alas, Goldfingers doesn’t have the budget to stretch to this, or indeed anywhere near it. For the extent of the “theme” in this edge of city centre pub is a plentiful if slightly dizzying array of bog standard Bond pictures and posters nailed to a sickly yellow, erm, Golden, painted wall. And that is it – there isnt a nice arsed beauty or a one eyed midget in sight. They don’t even have a Pussy Galore ale. Initially therefore the reality of Goldfingers is something of a disappointment (why even bother to claim to be a theme bar if sticking a few mouldy pics up is the best you can do?), as really its just an ordinary boozer trying to make itself slightly different in a very cackhanded and camp kind of way. But, softie that I am, I do appreciate its effort at charachter in a world where manufactured spoons and S&L are spreading throughout the land like a STD in a whorehouse. And underneath the garish tat is a relatively decent pub, with a good selection of drinks, friendly but speedy service, and a pretty cracking pool table nicely set apart in a separate part of the pub. So it has some residual appeal underneath its vomit-coloured exterior and hence deserves at least a 6/10. pgazz - 15 Apr 2005 16:02 |
