The only good reason to visit this place was the gorgeous Samantha. Alas she is moving on. So so shall I and many others. Sighhhhhhhhh...........

A Lloyd's Bar is only going to start off with a score of 5 anyway, but any hope of redeeming points was quashed when their bouncers accosted the 4 of us and firstly demanded to know how many of us there were (whether this was to test to see if we could deal with elementary mathematics - or simply because they could not - was unclear), then demanded to see ID (the youngest in our party was 28), and then warned me that I had to take off my hat or I wouldn't be allowed in. It's not like the place was even 50% full, so based on the otherwise lacklustre performance given I think we'll be going elsewhere in future.

Have drunk in here a few times en route to gigs at The Academy just across the way on the other side of the shopping centre. Typical Lloyd's No.1 in that it's basically a Wetherspoon's minus the good points(cheap beer, good range, cheap and cheerful grub and the absence of shite music) and as such is much less appealing than a pub from its sister chain.
Prices are still competetive with most in this area though and it's location means that I'll probably call again despite the distinct absence of atmosphere. Sometimes convenience is King.
Food's ok if a little pretentious and dear for microwave re-heated ready meals, bottles of Red Stripe are always welcome and at least they keep them good and cold. Music is poor and not very varied. Hard to know who it is that voluntarily frequents such places as they aren't trendy enough to attract the sheep that follow fads, but nor are they inviting enough to entice the less "cutting edge" drinkers that want to "keep it old school" as they have impersonal interiors and service, the prices are nothing special and it just comes over as trying too hard.
