Huffton Posted 18 January, 2009 Posted 18 January, 2009 Now that the Grapes has gone. Need a pub that sells a decent pint tha allows kids in on matchdays. Any recommendations?
Master Bates Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 The Red Lion in Bedford Place has a garden, pricey beer though. The Bedfords in Bedford Place has a front patio type thing, £2.10 a pint.
Deppo Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 The Plume seemed to allow a load of kids in the other day.
lee_saint Posted 19 January, 2009 Posted 19 January, 2009 Yacht Tavern just across the Itchen bridge is decent enough, not packed on matchdays.

Now go to The Alexandra which has 4 real ales including Ringwood, London Pride, Summer Lightning and Timothy Taylor currently. I am pretty sure I have seen kids in there, but wouldn't want to promise.

$$$ Posted 20 January, 2009 Posted 20 January, 2009 Alex is a great pub but no kids are allowed inside or in the back garden. Means you would have to fight it out with the smokers out the front and there would be issues with toilets...

saint1977 Posted 22 January, 2009 Posted 22 January, 2009 If you want good ale, Guide Dog is an option but not great for kids. New Inn might be good still - haven't been in there for a while. The Alex is a good shout. I'm told the new JDW nr. Ocean Village (or what's left of it after more SCC incompetence) is decent but can't vouch for that personally.

The Majestic Channon Posted 3 March, 2009 Posted 3 March, 2009 The osbourne in freemantle allows kids, plus they lay on a free coach every home game to the ground which leaves at 2.15.
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Me & a few mates have just changed our drinking venue to Bar Risa. £1.90 a pint! happy days
Scummer Posted 4 March, 2009 Posted 4 March, 2009 Is the Grapes still shut by the way? Or did they reach some kind of compromise?

Chaple would come a close second, but you could face a toe'ing if your, gobby,welsh,fresh from a tour of duty, an expectant father,have an extended welsh family, have a pink jumper????? Or all of the above.......
Scudamore Posted 9 March, 2009 Posted 9 March, 2009 I'm an Alexandra man too. Good beer. Sport on the box. Good beer garden. That's all you really need i'd say... They need a lock on the toilet though...what is it with pubs and no locks on the toilet doors?

I was one of the lot down from London, you may have known Eric Shadick, James Whitworth, Mike Rosam and many other London Saints members. I was the large, objectionable arsehole who drank far too quickly and needed a reminder that the match started in ten minutes...

JB Posted 11 March, 2009 Posted 11 March, 2009 It's possibly the most boring pub in the world, but The Waterfront at Shamrock Quay is fine for kids.
