BRISTOL86 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Haven’t been out to watch football in town for many years. Where’s good these days? Closer to the centre the better. Just somewhere where we might actually stand a chance of getting a table (we’re all getting old!!) and won’t have to wait 3 weeks for a drink.

Many moons back, Horts allowed people to book tables. But like you, I haven't been boozing in the centre for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try them on the day anyway.

The World Cup village at Ashton Gate might be a better bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in there for the Liverpool semi-final, and had several TVs and a big screen that pulled down. Not a great pub in itself, but Wetherspoons type grub at sensible prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 The Post (yeah I know) are listing.... The Lanes , Drawbridge , Hatchet , Kings street Brewhouse and the Old Fish market. Wherever you go try and get in early. Not done it for years , we used the Old Fish market but one screen was small but by the bar,and the larger one limited viewing. From the Post's pics the Brewhouse looks interesting https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/best-football-pubs-bristol-watch-1674916 One thing, if you get a table , don't forget to make allowances for people coming in late and standing in front of you.

YCbrs Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Depends on what kind of atmosphere you like but there was a couple tournaments I spent in Walkabout. Seriously big screens and proper "match day" atmosphere especially when the goals go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who works in town but lives in BS3, I can give an honest answer here bud: avoid town at all costs. It's rubbish. Drawbridge is probably your best bet, but it's not great really. For the sake of a £5 UBER I'd suggest travelling the extra distance to Ashton Gate for the World Cup village. Euro 2016 was fantastic in there and this year the outdoor village looks great.

Whites Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Walkabout is decent. Usually £2 selected drinks until 7pm as well although not sure if they are doing this whilst world cup is on. Edit. £2 selected drinks until 9pm. Monday to Friday. Fosters, Strongbow, Corona, Wine, Smirnoff, Captain Morgan and JD. Not the best selection pints wise but cheap none the less.
