Felgate Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Where do people tend to go for a beer before the match these days? I’m coming over for the weekend of 19th Oct (I live in France to don’t get over much at all) for my stepdads funeral. He was a big Bolton fan and took me to one of my first ever matches in the early 80’s, so wanted to see the match and have a couple of beers in the old man’s honour... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hotel for me and I know a few others from here. Not the cheapest but finish my drink at 2.55 and still in the ground for kick off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Gee Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Usually have a couple in Barnstormers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Barnstormers best round the ground but it’s nothing to write home about. Better rail service now makes town an option if you can be arsed - Northern Monkey is worth a look if you’ve not been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Never really thought about town as I always get on at Victoria and stay on until Parkway so have always done Scott’s or Barnstormers Wheres decent in town these days?

Burndens Bogs Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Towns fairly grim these days tbh. Given the size of the place,you'd think there'd be a decent boozer on Middlebrook by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannyroader Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 If you go to Northern Monkey avoid the popcorn beer. It's not the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a sampler of that and funnily enough, it tasted of popcorn. My usual Saturday now is work in the morning. A pint in the Vaults then a pint in Northern Monkey. Train to the match then repeat after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOWTUN BAKED Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Towns alright pre-match, depending on what you like of course, plenty of options to please plenty of tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Town a bit of walking involved but courtyard, courthouse, pub in vaults that’s not the cave bar are all decent for a few pints if you are looking for something different. I’m easily pleased though so will go most places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Enjoy a drink in the hotel pre-game. Simple pleasures such as ale in a glass and not being far from your seat, would recommend. Tried TGI and Coast to Coast and they're alright just £6 a pint, Horwich then taxi down is good occasionally too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I'd rather put my money into the club, if Missoula, Harvester, Hotel and Middlebrook are my options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Think we'll be going to the hotel in future for any pre and post match drinks, just can't drink that Carling shit in the plastic glasses at the ground anymore, at least our money will be going into the same pot.
