| A piece of rock history is dying. Soon to be gone is the legend that was the Ruskin Arms.In Dec 08 the former birthplace of Rock Icons Iron Maiden is being turned into a surgery and flats. Gone will be my refuge and 2nd home during my youth. I dont think it ever recovered since Joe Lucy(RIP) the former landlord died. No more trips down memory lane for me. So to S.A.A.C. The Zoo, The Tilbury Mob, Colin and his radio caroline Rockshow and all the ever friendy genuine people who frequented this shrine in its heyday it would be great to give this old mother of a venue a good send off. Anyone up for getting their head down for one last night? I will be there with snakebite in hand and ears buzzing.Rock may never die but this place will be immortal within me. One last hocus pocus by focus. Dravenheart - 17 Aug 2008 23:17 |
| Shame its closing down in December, this place ahs alot of history. Used to be a major metal/bikers pub, new owners seem to have run it in to the gorund. The bands are fewer and of lowering quality Really sad. prime - 22 Jul 2008 15:12 |
| What can i say? smelly dirty. the streets are full of scum in the area. Bar staff very good. Music very dated. Toilets filth. And not a safe area for girls on their own.Couldnt wait to get home to essex. millie123 - 3 Oct 2007 15:41 |
| Really not a bad place at all, the bar staff are very quick and efficient, and very helpful after i left my coat in there the night before! A few brainless morons round the pool tables, very mixed crowd, a few punks! Good music if your into metal etc. Watch out for the mid 30's mums who wear too much leather, and reveal far too much skin as is necessary! No trouble usually beer ok. jimmy23 - 24 Nov 2006 16:53 |
| What a disapointment! I was expecting a full on rock pub with a good alternative crowd. Not at all. Fast friendly service at the bar. The area is a complete shithole. 10 min walk from the station where we were hassled and abused as soon as we got off the tube. Dirty disgusting streets people gobbing everywhere with gangs of youths leering and comments to my girlfriend and sucking their teeth. pretty tense atmosphere even between themselves.
