Any suggestions? We normally do iron horse because they run a bus but when I reached out to them to ask if they were doing a bus for these games they never got back so we're going for a change as well. My mate and I have got tickets for the Ted Christopher pre match gig at the Classic Grand on Monday (though we're still waiting on our tickets) but I think you can get them in the door.

McDange Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 We've done the same spot at the Counting House for the last 15 years. Gets the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was better when it did Sunday Circus. Think i'll just go to Armstrongs or Florida Park. Don't think anywhere will be particularly busy.

wanderer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Usually head for the Iron Horse/Alfredos, but going to the SFA pre-match thing in the Arches, and depending on how good/bad it is, most likely grab a pint in MacSorleys and then jump on a bus down to south side to check out the Church on the Hill now its been refurbished.

wanderer Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Hootenanny is really good, but can get VERY busy (as its not all that big inside, but on a good day you can head into the beer garden, which has the Billy Connolly wall mural from that documentary on him last year) and actually surprised me it does not have a much bigger reputation on the match day pub scene (as it get busy at the best of times, maybe a good thing) Edited September 10, 2018 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If you want pubs round that area I'd say the 3 below are decent. The Raven - Renfield Street. Craft beers and burgers, ribs. Drum and Monkey - St Vincent Street. Real Ales. Nicholson owned pub. Sloans Argyle Street. Nice traditional.boozer. Down a lane from Argyle or Buchanan St Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it's not popular with Scotland fans is actually a redeeming feature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I totally agree about the drum, it's not the same any more. Sloan's is a cracking pub, don't think I've ever been in the Raven, that's a new one for me.

Raven is a excellent craft beer and BBQ food bar just a street or two down from the Iron Horse (opposite the old Odeon Cinema on Renfield Street). Great selection of beers, but not somewhere I would consider spending any great amount of time in on match day (great for 1 or 2 and a spot to eat, but always find myself moving on not long after). If in that area of the city and want something a little different than the Iron Horse, walk a street or two in the opposite direction and take in the Atholl Arms opposite Walkabout (would also suggest the Flying Duck next door, but it has a funny attitude on match day about football fans.... depending on who is on the bar, you will either get a drink or told no football fans).

slasher Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 We ended up going to the Horseshoe and the China Sea pre-match lol. Went to Hootenanny post match. It was pretty crap to be honest but might give it another go some sunny afternoon 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, was awful!!!!!! £4.50 for a can off Innes and Gunn poured into a plastic pint glass. Venue was really nice, but found the SSC event really poor compared to ones at Hampden. Stayed for one beer, then left with others to head to the Crystal Palace around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
