saintoli Posted 24 April, 2019 Posted 24 April, 2019 Having not been to a game for a couple of months, I was told that the Angel has closed. Can anyone confirm this for me? If so, can anyone recommend a decent alternative that I can take my kids to on match days? Cheers
Give it to Ron Posted 24 April, 2019 Posted 24 April, 2019 It’s opening on 26th or that’s what signs say. Chapel Arms allows kids Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Badger Posted 24 April, 2019 Posted 24 April, 2019 On the subject of pubs near the ground, what became of The King Alfred ? Normally park the other side of Northam Bridge but walking from the town end noticed it looked to be locked up and closed.

Normally park the other side of Northam Bridge but walking from the town end noticed it looked to be locked up and closed. Been closed for ages now, doubt it will ever reopen. Real shame, just needs someone with a bit of vision to get it going, bring back the topless barmaids upstairs. Building the ground in St Mary’s was supposed to help regeneration of a rough part of town but it just seems to have got worse. Plenty of pubs within a mile of the ground now closed, used to like the Eagle and Royal Oak.
Justin Cider Posted 24 April, 2019 Posted 24 April, 2019 Prince Of Wales Northam Road is near the ground or the Pitcher and Piano Ocean Village is only a ten minute walk away both allow kids

Building the ground in St Mary’s was supposed to help regeneration of a rough part of town but it just seems to have got worse. Plenty of pubs within a mile of the ground now closed, used to like the Eagle and Royal Oak. Trouble is, having been in those pubs you mention on a non-match day, they were completely dead. Not even students, let alone locals. People going to pubs now (not on a match day) expect food and non-stabby locals staring at them.
Give it to Ron Posted 28 April, 2019 Posted 28 April, 2019 Was closed yesterday but sign said open for Huddersfield. Went in Kingsland thank heavens they didn’t have topless bar staff.... Thought the riot police and number kitted up was way over the top again...it was Bournemouth Ffs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Manuel Posted 28 April, 2019 Posted 28 April, 2019 Walking from the centre of town yesterday, remarked on how difficult it is to get a pint in before a game these days. Royal Oak, Eagle, Plume, King Alfred all gone. Kingsland Tavern a desperate place, unable to get the pints out.
Golden Balls Posted 29 April, 2019 Posted 29 April, 2019 Building the ground in St Mary’s was supposed to help regeneration of a rough part of town but it just seems to have got worse. Plenty of pubs within a mile of the ground now closed, used to like the Eagle and Royal Oak. It hasn’t go worse though, St Marys used to be far more run down than it is these days. The pubs closing is more to do with the trade in general at the moment. The days of a back street wet led boozers are dying. These pubs that don’t move with the times end up closing. It’s the same everywhere. Seems to me like Guildhall Square and Ocean Village/Oxford St are the main places to drink now? There’s a new sports bar opening near the Guildhall. If it’s half as good as the branch they have in Bournemouth it was mop up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
maysie Posted 29 April, 2019 Posted 29 April, 2019 I go to five rivers (old dungeon) in Beavois Valley. Really good sports bar and good (Indian) food. Reasonably priced for drinks too. Does get busy though- kids allowed.
waylander Posted 29 April, 2019 Posted 29 April, 2019 Browns and The Brewery Tap - both in the industrial area down Millbank Rd. Handy for the stadium.
Colinjb Posted 3 May, 2019 Posted 3 May, 2019 Thinking of pubs on match days, do any in/near the city centre show our away games?
John Boy Saint Posted 3 May, 2019 Posted 3 May, 2019 Even the Umpteenth re incarnation in Shamrock Quay - Cove - has closed goodness know what it will be next if at all.
