8 out of our 15 strong stag do headed to Kong's, and none of us is especially yobbish or "laddy" just mates catching up after years.
Our first interaction was a rude security guard, with no greeting or preamble other than "how many are you!?, If one causes trouble, you're all out!" Which I get must happen a bit in Bristol being the party city that it is, but massively unwarranted seeing as I simply said: "good evening mate, is there room for 8 of us?". The doorman seemingly has no idea of how to respond to other human beings in a way that makes them want to spend money in an establishment.
Enter the venue itself, (which the photos on the website massively over-glamourise!) and you are confronted with a dark, dingy and cheerless grothole with all of maybe 7 arcade machines, significantly less than the marketing and website would suggest.
The bar itself is quite unhelpfully 'cash free', which seems counterintuitive given that you need change to actually play any of the working arcade games.
Beers are overpriced compared to most Bristol bars and the spirit and mixer I had was watery and not enjoyable, although I will concede that some of the bitterness of the drink might have been the leftover tang of the moronic security's bad manners.
This was honestly one of the worst bars I have ever been too, I have been in wetherspoons that have more uniqueness, character and cheerful staff to boot.
If the door staff are concerned about a 'bad element' coming in then perhaps they need to think about the vibe that they give off themselves. Consider firing the surly neanderthals barring the gate from well meaning punters, get some working games that you can hire as part of the table cost and stop watering down your drinks.
