I know it's a bit early but the venues involved would like to get an estimate of numbers, so they have enough staff on!
For those of you that have been to the Albert Road area before, it has somewhat changed over the last few years, thanks mainly to the Council & the police 'quaterising' four main drinking areas...
Anyway... These are my recommendations and will go with the majority flow...
1.) Little Johnny Russell's
Probably the most 'Family' friendly,
Pints of cider are £2 until 7pm,
Will remain open until 1am, if enough of us return after the gig,
NO food served on a Thursday BUT, will let you bring food in from the Chippy next-door, as long as you tidy-up afterwards... (They'll provide bin-bags!)
Limited Real Ale (Doom Bar and Director's)
5-10min walk from gig.
2.) The Leopold
Big range of Real-Ales and Ciders/Perrys,
Very much a 'local's' pub,
NO food (other than crisps),
2-3min walk from gig.
3.) The Bold Forrester
Run-of-the-Mill Greene King pub,
Kitchen open all day,
2-3min walk from gig.
Being a cider drinker, I am obviously biased towards LJRs, but don't let that put you off!
EDIT "NO food served on a Thursday BUT, will let you bring food in from the Chippy next-door, as long as you tidy-up afterwards... (They'll provide bin-bags!)" - By this I mean't your chip wrappers... They're not expecting to clear-up the pub...
