Drinking in Stoke

[olaftab]

The Glebe was the one I was thinking of that's under the tunnel out of the station. Like that place. It was in there, as a student in Stoke in 1990, that I was advised by a local to try this wonderful Stoke dish called a Balti.

A student in Stoke? That's an oxymoron!

I think I should jack this work thing in and go back to being a student, we might get good again that way!

Hey all, I come in peace thought I would give you some suggestions on where to go, First off when you get off the train hide your colours else you will be rounded up and shipped to the Uni Bar which is a bit shit BUT you do get free bus travel up to the stadium and back to the station after....

But if your looking for a good pint with a good atmosphere and a bit of food then head into town..

You can go to the Glebe which is a very friendly bar welcoming everyone, children can go fine without having to sheild them from numpties jumping about chucking beer, its very laid back and good banter between home and away fans...

They do cracking pork pies.





Or there is the White Star, This place has alot of proper beer on, mainly brewed by the Titanic Brewery, lots on offer to choose from and ofcourse normal lagers. They also do some amazing food, from burgders to fish n chips, really worth the money and all home made! again this Pub is very friendly and welcome both sets of fans, also free wifi! I think the code is t1tan1c but they have it written on boards or just ask...






Getting to the ground is pretty easy:

Walk, Along the canal, when you walk from the station you will walk over it, so head back to it and head towards the ground you will know when you need to get off, Its a good 20 mins walk and even more with a gut full of ale!

Taxi, A taxi from stoke town costs £5, so between 4 of you its hardly anything and get there in about 10 mins max. Most popular taxi firm is Lucky Seven taxis, there number is: 01782 333 333, best to book an hour in advance before you want to leave.

Bus, The club put on buses from Glebe street, im not 100% sure on price but I think it is £3, BUT if you are coming on the train you wouldnt get these buses back you would hop on the train station buses that the police put you on right outside your stand.


Other than all that I wouldnt stray to far into town as there is a few "home" pubs that arent so welcoming, There is a few watering holes near the ground like The power league (which gets ram packed) and The Harvester which is a pub/resturant which also gets ram packed...

Hope this helps and cant wait for the game with you guys selling out its going to be a cracking atmosphere!

Ahh I aint got time in life to be hating on other peoples passions thought I would post some advice on where to go etc for the game as people from others clubs have done it for me and made my trip alot nicer, hopefully I can return the favour

Drinking in Stoke,, Go to the Square Peg, as the Stokies are a hateful bunch, and do not need sponsoring. the coppers are very helpful, offering accommodation over night if you so much as stand up to the small minded chaps.

I say this purely from reading it in the papers btw

Cheers friendlystokie, the name is clearly apt. Good luck ... Hope you finish below us 😀👍

Cheers Stokie!
I know the White Star - mate who lives in Kidsgrove has taken me there for some "proper ale".
As it's in the "holiday" season will give it a go on match day!
UTV!

Any hope of picking up a couple of tickets for this game lads? Going to be in the midlands that weekend but would have thought opening day tickets would be gold dust.
