TV Tom Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Any suggestions, got a couple of friends working in London who will be looking for a pub to watch with others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 The London City fans tend to head to Philomena's in Covent Garden. It's an alright pub but nothing spectacular. If you want to strike out on your own then other good football pubs/bars that I regularly go to for football, including for City when we are on, include: The Minories in Tower Hill - has big screens and lots of space. Also has some outdoor screens so you won't miss the match if you are a smoker https://www.craft-pubs.co.uk/minories-london/sports Bar Kick in Shoreditch - HD, huge screens, scarves from all over Europe pinned on the ceilings and plenty of table football tables for pre-match. They also have sofas downstairs (if downstairs is open). Mind though that it's all bottles of beer (so no pints of Gold) and is classically "Shoreditch trendy". Happy Hour every day from 4-7pm, buy a bucket of Sagres bottles and they'll stick a load of ice in with it to save you crawling back to bar all the time. https://www.cafekick.co.uk/bar-kick/ The Water Poet near Liverpool Street - lots of smaller screens scattered around a maze-like pub, plenty of space though and a couple of pool tables if you're bored. Good selection of beverages as well. https://www.waterpoet.co.uk/ The William Blake near Old Street roundabout. A large pub with loads of tables and a full wall projector screen out the back. Same chain as The Minories https://www.craft-pubs.co.uk/thewilliamblake There's also a big Riley's sports bar on Haymarket just off Trafalgar Square...or at least there was a few years ago - I've not been for a while. Other than that there are the usual litany of Wetherspoons' offerings, most of which would have the game on I suspect. Most of the big train stations also have some sort of pub that would show the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
