Rocket

Rocket is very much your typical city bar. It’s always really busy on a Thursday & Friday night, especially for happy hour. It’s not somewhere really surrounded by bars and I wouldn’t have thought that there is a lot of passing trade as there are better places to drink within a 5 minute walk. That said it’s not the worst place I’ve ever been.
Drinks are about £5 for a pint and they server Meteor which I don’t recall ever seeing in any other bars and the rum selection is pretty good.
If you are after somewhere for a quick drink after work it’s ok but I wouldn’t go out of my way to try it out

From the menu, you can pretty much tell that Rocket specialises in two things — salad and pizza. It is a chain restaurant but only has a few locations (not hard to tell who they’re targeting by where — the City and Canary Wharf), but don’t let that deter you. The food is good. Wouldn’t say that it’s a place that tops my list but if I’m looking for a solid, comforting meal, Rocket is reliable.
On this occasion, I had the Baked Cod (on their seasonal menu) and it was delicious, just the right amount of sauce, not dry. Seeing as we had a great deal on that night (Friendship Friday, 50% discount on food for 4!) we decided to order dessert as well. I had the sticky toffee pudding — AMAZING. The others had the cheesecake and the pear tart. Everyone seemed quite satisfied.

Rocket is always packed with an after work crowd pretty much every day of the week. It’s where workers go to pull to be honest. expect to see plenty of sneaky affairs here; it’s a scream to watch.
