If you are looking for cheap drink and own a SNAPfax this is the ideal place to go. Pints of Best are £1.75 as are pints of Carlsberg. There is a blackboard of drinks deals worth consulting. Apparently it does good cocktails too though I can’t say I tried them myself.
Mr Modos is a classic rock bar, which is a nice change to the pop/dance music you hear in many bars. On Friday nights it seems to be packed with young students (presumably there for the cheap drink) but I’ve been there on Saturday night when it has been relatively quiet and I was easily able to get a seat.
Being a classic rock bar, the bar is full of pictures of rock greats of the past, which are good for stimulating conversation. If you can’t be bothered talking they seem to have some board games available such as Connect 4.
This bar does have some peculiarities though. For some reason the seating area down the stairs often has a sign saying it’s reserved, though it’s always empty, so I’m not sure what that is about. Maybe they are expecting the Rolling Stones to show up and need a place to sit? Also there was a barman wearing a hat that seemed pretty pissed off to be working there and was generally unhelpful, my advice - avoid him. The other bar staff were great though.
Overall I’d say they have a winning combination with cheap drink and classic rock.
