Thinking of hanging around Easter Road tomorrow after the game and finding a decent boozer to watch the Pool game at 4pm. Normally stop at the Murrayfield on the way home but it will be mobbed with egg chasers tomorrow. Somewhere with food would be good................. Suggestions anyone?

The Persevere at the foot of ER is excellent for both food and bevvy :greengrin Also, they have numerous screens spread about so you can sit eating and watch the game in comfort :agree:

Hibs Club......
Is it normally mobbed after the games or plenty of room to get a seat and enjoy the food/football?

Plenty of room. The Club has a bar area with seating and tvs, a main hall with plenty seating and tvs, upstairs room with seats and tvs, a games room with tvs....So to answer your question yes you will get a seat, a burger and chips and beers.....

Great minds think alike.....or fools seldom differ :rolleyes:
The Hibs club is rubbish pre-game, unless you're looking for a game of helpie with the 200 bairns in there, and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) its usually only the wee bar area that's open after the game.
I would recommend the Iona Bar. Nae food*, but there's beer and let's face it, after a few of them the eating usually goes out the window anyway.
*Unless you fancy a bag of McCoys.

For beer got to be tourmalet next to robbies Albert street or Iona street.

They should gdt you in charge of PR!
I canny mind seeing food after the games in the Hibs Club but one thing for sure it has the best selection of ales in the area, all very well looked after.
The Happy Castle has a great atmosphere (before and) after games and players have been known to pop in and have an orange juice. Good food selection, decent beer.
I have eaten in the Percy a couple of times and its a decent place.

I think your post started off badly then lost all credibility when you described the lounge as the wee bar - given its probably the biggest bar on Easter Road and probably twice the size of most.

Percy for food definitely.
Or the Four in Hand for a beer and complimentary half a pie courtesy of Kano.
yeezus.

Four in hand pub is always welcoming.

When I said the 'wee bar' I was only describing it compared the larger room (and up stairs sometimes) that's opened up before games within the hibs club. You're right though, compared to pubs on Easter Rd it probably is pretty big.
Maybe my comments were harsh, but I think the club lacks the atmosphere of a 'regular boozer'......and with a kid on the way there's every chance I'll end up frequenting the club more in a few years time!
Must admit that I'm not normally in the lounge as the only reason I'm there is to meet mates that have their kids with them so perhaps it's better through there.

Well after much deliberation, soul searching and taking into account all of the recommendations I went for the Corstorphine Inn :greengrin
A good choice considering the excellent food, good guinness and a shorter stumble home than Easter Road would have been. However the Persevere will be our destination before the Aberdeen game as I have arranged to meet a few sheep friends in there (no colours of course)

Corry Inn was once owned by Jimmy O'Rourke of Tornadoes fame and the food was good back then so hopefully it still passes muster
