Yog Sothoth Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Me and a few friends want to watch Wednesday's England game (why? you may ask) in a pub with a decent sized screen. However, we don't really want to go to a sports bar or 'student' pub. It has to be somewhere that sells real ale and it has to be in town. Can anyone suggest somewhere? The only one I know of is the Red Lion on Charles Street but to be honest, it's not my favourite place and I've been served some poor beer there. I prefer the Washington or Rutland and places like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrys (as discussed in recent threads) was a cracking place to watch the last one. Good real ales, cheap as chips, good food, big screen... Works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, out Hillsborough way there's the New Barrack Tavern and maybe even the Rawson Spring if you fancy a Wetherspoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go but a couple of my mates said it was quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can blag your way onto the balcony there that will be the best place in the venue to watch the game. The Rawson was apparently cracking for the first game. I didn't go but a couple of my mates said it was quality. I was in there in Saturday and I must admit that the big screen is pretty decent for watching the World Cup.

the white rose Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Henry's! Great suggestion, cheers you two. I haven't been there yet.
