Hibs.net Pre-United Drink/Meet?

[Sylar]

As we know, we're up in Dundee this weekend to face the Arabs, and as there quite a few of us going to be there (particularly a few of us "locals"), I thought it may be an idea to arrange a meet-up for a drink before the game?

Offer open to anyone, other than TQM, who no doubt will have hospitality :rolleyes::wink:

[Mikey]

Sounds like a plan. Where are you thinking?

Indeedy - I'll have one for ye tho! Or I might make it if yer early enough :wink:

[Sylar]

Not really sure which boozer the Hibs fans usually go to before the game? Town centre has a great number of pubs, but is around a 15 minute walk to the ground. Not sure about the pubs near Tannadice - I know the 4 J's is usually home fans only right enough. Pubs on The Hilltown are probably life threatening!!!

Probably The Counting House, which is next to the McManus Galleries, and walkable in 10 minutes would be an idea, though I don't know what their policy for colours is.

I will probably be picking up an Arab in Perth, and he usually goes to Frews, north of Tanadice.

I asked an Arab mate about the Counting House and got this as a reply

20 – 30 minute uphill walk or get bus no 1 from Albert Square or 18 from Commercial Street.

I would rather be closer to the ground, and Frews is just up dens road, junction with clepington Road.

Frews is decent, as is the Snug (you're 300 yds to away end of Tannadeechee)

The Snug Bar (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?safe=active&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=the+Snug+++Dundee&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=the+Snug&hnear=Dundee&cid=12512479299761758311)

Counting House is too far IMHO

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The Clep is a nice wee old fashioned pub, maybe a bit too much on the wee side if a fair few bodies turn up though!

I think I'm going to Frews with my Arab mate, ALL WELCOME

Dave - can you tell us if kids are welcome and if the pub does any grub?

[stu in nottingham]

I just had a look at Frew's Bar, purely out of curiosity because it's my own surname. Looks very much worth a visit:

CAMRA - Frews Bar, Dundee (http://www.heritagepubs.org.uk/pubs/national-inventory-entry.asp?pubid=309)

Raising a glass to Scotland's historic pubs (http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/news_search_results.htm/news_article.htm?articleid=24234)

'Frews is a typical Dundee tenement bar, designed by the Dundee architects Henry & Frank Thomson who contributed many important buildings to the City and an unusual example dating from their short-lived partnership.

A fine Art Deco bar was created in 1934. Overlooking a busy junction it is just a short walk from both of Dundee's football grounds.'


Enjoy your meet, Hibbies!

It's been many many years since I was in Dundee, but there used to be a church at the bottom of the hill that became a pub. Back then it was a novelty and a no bad place to go. Does it still exist?

Aye, it's still there - there are a couple of church-turned-pubs in Dundee actually. The one at the bottom of the hill is probably Deacon Brodies?

[12AlbionPlace]

We were in The Maltman (Mains Road) pre match in last years 2-2 match. When we decided not to go we spent the afternoon in there, seemed friendly enough.

[Moulin Yarns]

There are three bars with one designated a family bar.

I'll check on the food situation

EDIT:
Family friendly with toasties . Kids in Sporting Lounge only . Access via main bar .

10 minute walk to Tannadice? You must be a fast walker! 30 minutes easy and its all uphill. I also wouldn't go near the Counting House with a bargepole! It's full of jakeys going in for the cheap drink.

Easy to see you're no from Dundee Scott, the pub hibbie02 will be referring to will be the Cafe Club, which is no longer there. In fact, it burned down around 1991 and is now a block of student flats.

It was around 1982 I was last there and for some reason the name Gabriels rings a bell but that might be the place in Southampton I used to go to in 1993..... It certainly wasn't Cafe Club in 82 but it was at the foot of the hill.

It may well have been called Gabriels before the Cafe Club. 1982 is way before my drinking days! :greengrin

I did notice that the last time I was in actually, but had hoped it was perhaps because there was an OF derby on, the same day. Used to be brilliant for it's "Curry and a pint" night, but it's been a while since I was last in there. As a result, that's probably why I'm thinking it's less of a walk, though I AM quite a quick walker, and could probably do that in 10/15 mins

I quite like the fact that it's obvious I'm not from Dundee to be honest - don't mind it being my adopted city for a fair few reasons, but I'm glad I can't be mixed up with the locals :greengrin

You going to come along to this AH?

There are loads of pubs round Dens and Tannadice but I've never heard of either of those, even 20 years ago. Someone else might be able to confirm.

[H18sry]

The Ambassador which was a big double sided bar, was directly above both grounds up the hill so to speak on a main [ish] road you had to walk down hill through the estate to the grounds. :greengrin

Thanks for that answer,im sure i was in it one day many years ago,we lost 4.1 or 4.0 with G.Mitchel I think scoring a own goal past A.Goram I think.
The other pub may have been Whites,not the White Swan as suggested on the post above yours,anyway are these pubs still there?

Aye, but it's only bairns, people with families, OAPs and dafties that post on here so how would you expect an atmosphere? :greengrin

[ronaldo7]

I met up with Pitlochry and his wee united pal.

Me and the laddie went up to the match but as I am over 40 realised that I wouldn't be allowed in so went back to the pub.

Just wish I could have practiced my singing voice:cool2:
