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 Tbh there are a good number of decent boozers within easy waking distance of AG. If you arrive early enough there are plenty of pubs around the docks including the Orchard which is a great cider boozer that also does real ale. if you’re in Briz then you have to sample the local ciders - but be careful some of the ciders are real headbangers........

Tears in rain Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 10 hours ago, poland_exile said: 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! 5 hours ago, 1960maaan said: Which way are you coming from?

Yeah I’m going to have agree with the above posts! Get yourself down to the orchard. I get the train and I walk to the orchard and you’ll get a variety of cider options, a great pub and a friendly atmosphere. I’m off to the Swansea game with two people who have never been to Bristol and the two things on our list is football at the gate and pints in the orchard.

Aside from the excellent pub recommendations.......you MUST stop off at the Clarks Pies van (on Ashton Rd between ground & park).....originating from East Lancs you'll no doubt appreciate a decent pie (Holland's meat & potato being a fav of mine from your region). Clarks Pies are a Bristol legend and an essential stop off between pub and ground. £1.90 versus some inferior offering inside the stadium at £3.90 so don't miss out!

exAtyeoMax Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The roast beef baguettes with horseradish in The Orchard are gert lush but they don't do them on Friday evenings. Great little pub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 If you don’t mind a bit of a walk, one of my favourite pubs is the Ostrich, just around the corner from Bedminster Bridge where the old General Hospital used to be. Nice beers - and a cave at the back with a skeleton in it! (Probably still waiting for his food!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
