BLOODSPORTS by MEATliquor

With thirty screens running simultaneously, you are just as likely to look up and see a penalty kick as you are a scene from a vintage slasher flick. This venue merges the mechanics of a dedicated sports bar with the aesthetic of a grindhouse cinema, keeping the lighting low and the volume high. The space is large enough to absorb the noise, filled with a mix of shared tables and private booths where the viewing experience is more contained. In the booths, you can often request specific horror titles for your table’s screen, creating a strange pocket of cinema amidst the wider bar noise. Away from the screens, the room stays active with a pool table, darts, and a row of pinball machines and arcade cabinets. The menu is standard MEATliquor territory, relying on trays of Monkey Fingers, loaded fries, and the mustard-fried Dead Hippie burger. The bar pours frozen slushies and beers to match the diner-style food. Its greatest utility in this part of Covent Garden, however, is the clock. While most West End kitchens close early, service here runs until 1:30 AM every night, making it one of the few places in the neighborhood to get a substantial sit-down meal well after midnight.
