The Rainbow Skull Grill

Had a great burger here and a glass of beer. Nice quirky place. Good service too. So much better than the chain burger places, and only a tiny bit more expensive.

The beers are very nice, The Skull beer is a mild and one of the nicest I have had. I wanted to add that, I have visited a number of times since I wrote this and found the beer is always served in excellent condition. I made this review below before the Rainbow Skull Bar closed. It has been renamed and introduced meat options. As before, it has a very friendly atmosphere. At present there are no paper menus yet, the website needs to be developed, and no Wi-Fi, but the basics are excellent. It is now looking like a very successful business that is doing what it does with excellence. Some changes to the decoration, but the basic decoration has not been ripped out as could have happened and is so wasteful. Maidstone if you look up above the shopfronts has very many old buildings, I have included some pictures of those. The underpasses in Maidstone needed a map, because it is too easy to pop up the wrong side of a very busy road. I sent a comment to Maidstone Borough Council about it, suggesting a map be placed like a table in the centre of the underpass where different walk ways meet. The vegan burger is called bubble and squeak with extra vegan coleslaw and a vegan beer. I also used the power socket, which includes a USB charging. I have also tried the signature vegan skull burger, it is also very nice, and better than most I have had. --- my review from 4 months ago --- I had Sunday lunch today it was very good, the veg was not over done as is common elsewhere. I have in the past had a number of other things on the menu, and they are better than you might expect. The venue is noticeably very clean though it is styled like a motor-bikers pub but clean, and they also like bikers they visitors and staff are very friendly. The decoration and the large mirror and lighting in the toilet are also a feature, which tellingly is also very clean. So it is 100% vegan with unique decoration.

Great little burger bar located in Royal Star Arcade, serving burgers and beer. The burgers were great, plenty of options include veg/vegan. I went for the chicken burger which was crispy and juicy and probably one of the best chicken burgers I've ever had. The cajun chips were good, but covered in way too much salt. None of my table could finish the chips because of the seasoning, but we all agreed the burgers were awesome. Update: When I visited a second time I went for regular chips and they were much better. Good choice of canned craft beers and ciders, plus some on draught. Looks like there was a good choice of spirits too. Uniquely decorated toilet that was clean. Tables are mainly high tables and stools and a few benches. No chairs with a back! They have a quiz on Thursdays and plenty of offers through the week. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality. I'll definitely be back.

Fantastic food, lovely team, great place to sit, 10/10. Very welcome to dogs (although according to signage the arcade the bar sits within does not allow dogs but we carried ours in no problem!) thank you!!

Interesting quirky restaurant in Maidstone. Good variety of beers. Good burgers!
