Starquake Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hmm not the best spot for pubs in my opinion - I used to like the Red Lion on Charles Street, not a million miles away, but since they installed loads of TVs for football I like it a lot less.

muddycoffee Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 If you like rock music, the nelson is very close and a great pub. It is where we usually meet before going in. although the plug isn't expensive for drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlad Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 thanks for the replies! basically im just trying to find a good place to use as a meeting point for a couple of us when we go, i dunno where else to think other than a pub because most of us drink, but the bar inside the club isnt a sit down sorta bar and have a chat kinda place apparently (i rang the venue today just to check) so a nearby spot would be much easier, preferably 5 mins walk!

muddycoffee Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 If you want a quiet meeting place, and you are coming from the train station midweek probably the howard would be a good one or the red lion is a nice pub. The bar inside the plug is ok. I have been several times and usually have no problem holding a conversation before the band comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arula Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 If you're talking this Friday, then I think The Howard sometimes so a pre bar thingy for Off The Rails @ Plug which is normally pretty good. Its only a minute from the station and about 5 from plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinceb Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The RoeBuck isn't very far away, and is a good meeting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The Moorfoot Tavern is slightly further down the hill at the bottom of the Moor. Recently redecorated, real ale and a nice environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val@Spice Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The Rutland at the corner of Paternoster Row and Furnival Street is a good old fashioned pub, not noticed any tv screens, and I do believe the landlord has connections with Plug! The pub also has a fab beer garden for sunny evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
