nuttersuclan Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hey all - visiting fan in peace here! I'm attending the match on Friday (neither a BCFC or BWFC fan, but as a Burnley supporter I hope you smash them!) and was wondering if there are any good local pubs for before and after your inevitable victory? Real ale and a traditional pub decor would be perfect! Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 There’s the fan village just outside the ground; live music, bars, food stands etc. Or you can get a drink in the Sports Bar & Grill, I think they have Butcombe on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The Orchard on nearby Spike Island - best cider selection in the city IMO, but also a few traditional ales and more modern craft beers. It's prob 10 mins walk by my reckoning from the ground - was there for our previous Bolton match a cpl of weeks ago and there were a smattering of Bolton fans there with no trouble at all. Mix of all ages and people, great atmosphere and a proper traditional pub persons pub! Not far away, Cottage Inn is ok as is the Nova Scotia as mentioned above. Personally mind, i'd say you're a mug for considering anything other than the Orchard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 There are two main routes - North street (which has various pubs) or across the park and river (which I prefer). If you wanted a few stop offs I'd personally recommend Nova Scotia (nearest the ground), Merchants Arms (stones throw), then I'd go Grain Barge (moored boat with good local beer on tap). Up some steeps steps from there the Lion is a really good boozer, or you could head into town after from there easily too. Enjoy the visit!

Steep steps, if you don’t fall in the Avon and drown , may just be beyond you after trying the West Country’s finest . Joking aside , have a great visit.

Hillzider Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 As mentioned above if you are after real ale then the Nova Scotia is a traditional dockside pub. And only a short walk across the park to the ground. http://www.novascotiabristol.co.uk/index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Burnley, Rovers and Luton fan all going together to watch City V Bolton on a cold Friday night? What a Clan of Nutters! The Clan of Nutters would be great as the name of a good pub.

Red DNA Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 As good as the real ale is in the ground itself these days (Butcombe, but out of plastic glasses) this bar is only 5 minutes from the ground. It’s a brewery with a bar, so no excuse for bad beer or lack off, what more could you want? https://www.bristolbeerfactory.co.uk/the-taproom/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a scruffy old time warp, the best pubs are! Came within a whisker or popping into the Merchant's on a recent trip but lost my nerve at the last moment and ended up in the Pumphouse, which to my horror, has transformed since my time. Blimey, had to wait to get served coz some weird dreadlocked barman was making a blue cocktail with flowers bobbing inside. I despair at the world.
