PUBS WITH TWO ITBOX's

Does anyone know of any pubs that have two itbox's in them in zone 1, apart from the Rocket and Montague Pykes?

Last time I was in the Rocket, the second one was cream-crackered.
The Lloyd's on Charing Cross Rd has two, but we already went in and owned them both.

Without wishing to second-guess, I believe that Montague Pyke is simply the 'posh' name for the Lloyds on the Charing Cross Road.

For a bonus point, which old music venue did Wetherspoons take over to create the pub originally?

Not in Zone 1 unfortunatley, but a location that might be good for a 'day out'! On the outskirts of London, Englands largest shopping centre (Bluewater) has 4 (!) ITboxes in the SportZ Bar there.

I stick to Bully - but often get £4 out of each one on 1 or 2 goes!

The Court on Tottenham Court Road now has two machines in, but its the previous Word Up edition (not the latest one)

Is that the crazy little pub up from Hombres' that looks like its Halloween every day?

dunno what hombres is but yep. it is one of those themed pubs which have noises in the toilets of skellingtons howling and ghouls saying "Boo!"
the beer is atrox though.

Might check it out Jon and I have walked past it a few times as he's at uni at the other end of the street, we'll have to pop in some time and check it out, cheers

Kingston upon thames would be good - the Spoons in Wimbledon has been pre-bummed by VB (in actual fact, VB and fotherz!).

at least 2 of the wetherspoons in Glasgow have 2 itboxes:

City Centre (Sauchiehall St.) and west end (Anniesland)

Not much use to you London boys but just for info EVERY Wetherspoons in Glasgow has 2 itboxes-there's at least another 5 pubs off the top of my head in addition to the ones Calum mentioned.
Just for the record the itbox is almost single-handedly ruining my enjoyment(and yes i guess that means profit

)of the quiz machine world.
