Match Day Pubs
« on: April 07, 2011, 11:18:24 AM »
As the trains are off on Sunday and we have a late 4pm kick off I was thinking of taking in some match day pubs with a Dutch friend who is coming with me (he supports Ajax).
We will get into town and move on from there.  Can anyone recommend any pubs that I should take him to as well as any pubs good for a sing-song?

Many thanks!

Not a sing song pub - but it would be very rude if you weren't to show him the delights of Bartons.

Your best bet would be to have a few in the first two and get a taxi/bus to the Bartons.
Taxi rank is close to the OC's outside Snow Hill Station, or walk over to Bull Street and catch the number 7 which drops you right by the Bartons.

The number 7 goes from Colmore Row now. Takes 5 minutes to get to The Bartons.
