Ian Mapp left this review about The Boiler Room

I kind of thought the craft revolution had run its course, so this seems a brave attempt. Keg only - about a dozen - with some unusual breweries represented. But the prices! £8 for a 5% Cloudwater. I simply can't afford that.

Standard cocktail bar vibe. Music at a low level.

Plenty of competition in the area, including the established purecraft over the road and the far superior and keener priced Colmore around the corner.

Can it survive? Time will tell.

Visited back in June one weekday evening. No cask but many beers on keg to choose from, both their own and guests. Just as I had ordered at the bar and received my drinks, the lights went down and it became apparent I'd walked into a comedy night, so I stealthily made my way to a table and hoped I wouldn't get picked on!

I later discovered the comedy event was run by Egans Comedy Club. It was pretty good in all fairness, just a little unexpected.

The beers were good too so overall this was a great experience, and I'd be happy to go and pay another visit.
