Tucked away upstairs on West Register street, the Voodoo Rooms are very central, however you have to be 'in the know' to be able to find it. Once you climb the stairs, you are presented with a swish looking bar, with ornate antique ceilings and comfortable leather-like seating. The Voodoo Rooms are a popular place to be drinking cocktails on a Saturday night, but how does it fair for a lunch time spot?
The friendly staff showed us to our seats and then asked if we wanted a drink. They had a fairly limited selection of draught lagers including Tennents and Staropramen, the latter being the more popular choice. Was I in the wrong mindset and should have I been thinking of drinking a lunch time cocktail instead?
The lunch time menu sounded a little more interesting and varied than your usual pub. This included a spiced Lamb burger with feta and cucumber and a chicken, bacon and tarragon pie. I thought the stuffed chicken with sun dried tomatoes on the specials board sounded interesting, so decided to order that. Unfortunately the mains sounded better than their execution. The ingredients in my chicken dish were fine however the dish was just a bit bland. There was also nothing really in the way of veg and no option to order it as a side. The burger eaters did not seem overly excited with their choices either.
We left the Voodoo Rooms feeling like there was more style than substance. It is much easier to recommend it as a Friday drinks venue than a lunch time eating, which probably explains why it is often busy at night and was nearly empty during our visit.

Bill - Stuffed chicken with sun dried tomato, pint Staropramen, small tip: £15
Comments:
- menu gone down hill and place lacks ambience
- I had the lamb burger which was tasty but the feta cheese and cucumber toppings did not hit the spot for me. Very pleasant surroundings to have lunch but quite quiet with not too many customers about.
- Food a bit bland. Would be better to have a better range of beer.
- Feta + cucumber + burger = wrong / urine aroma = hmmm
