Pre-final Shandies

[Franck Le God]

There might already be a thread on this but I was wondering if there is a planned venue for the Hibees to amass before the final?

[cwilliamson85]

Am I right in thinking somebody was talking about a club opening there doors to hibs fans per match (possibly the shed)?

A reminder to all people having a drink on the day don't get to pissed that you are so drunk that you run the risk of being turned away at the turnstile, ruin the game or people around ou or not being able to remember the day at all.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Thanks Dad!

Aye, cheers for that.

[vercol36]

So anyone know any places which will likely be Hibs pubs? At last years final, me and a few mates drank in the city centre, but it was all mixed fans and thus very little atmosphere. We finally stumbled upon the Star Bar out at the Gorbals, which was hosting the Fife Hibs club, I think. It was ok, but we got on a bus after which led to the jambo side of the stadium.


Although, am I right in saying that the jambo side last year is our side this year?

[cwilliamson85]

Church on the hill or clockworks are good sized pubs and are on the correct side of Hampden.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

anyone know decent hotel does High Tea, cakes and sandwiches?

Anywhere near the bus shelter, they also do the odd jumble sale too.

Cheers! From the website, Clockworks seems to be a micro-brewery pub. Might be a good shout!

It was indeed, with a few random Jambos in the back rooms I think. 3 'courses' for £2.50 in the Star Bar too! :greengrin

[Franck Le God]

Just booked 25 of us in to the Langside, boy says there's a few Hibs buses booked in.

I was in the Clockwork before the semi final, it was a cracking pub. Good selection of beers, loads of room inside and a beer garden.

Shall I bring the Mah Jong?

[DH1875]

Think the shed is ticket only and has plenty of buses already booked in. I went city centre last year and ended up in a music bar full of hibs fans next to central station. The staff were terrible as kept telling folk to cover their colours and seen them refuse one bird in a hibs top as she didn't have a jacket to cover up. Atmosphere was crap to start off as every time a song was struck up the staff were trying to put an end to it. They gave up eventually after a few hours as plenty of drink had been drunk by then but by then it was time to go get the train up to Hampden. In short it wasn't very good and this year I'm looking for a pre-booked venue with plenty of hibs fans looking for a party and sing song.

[cwilliamson85]

5 buses from oxgangs booked into the Factory west end night club (byres road,partick) apparently £2.50 a pint
:thumbsup:

Factory (used to be PJ Champs) is VERY cheap for drinks and does food to.

Spent many a Superbowl in PJ's. Hadn't realized it had changed it's name. Very cheap for food and drink with plenty of pool tables (well did have). **** knows where your buses are gonna park before you head off to the game though :confused:. In fact, if it's the same layout as PJ's, **** knows how you'll all fit in :greengrin. Their function room holds 30 people max.

[hibs4thecup1988]

Going by car...parking in the queens park recreational...anyone know of any pubs from there to the ground?

[cwilliamson85]

I have yet to be in (even though I do stay round he corner) but I did go past and on the board outside on Thursday night is stated £2 pints and 89p vodka mixer. Not sure if that is all time prices or for a new student night they are trying to launch.

I have heard it is pretty cheap though.

Could try the Langside on Battlefield Road, probably the closest the the rec ground, other than heading to Vicky Road.

I had a call from the manager of the Boswell today to confirm opening times and he said there was around 200 booked in already and there are expecting more to arrive on the day. If you book in they will reserve seating for your group.

[Wellbankhibby]

Can Any Fellow Hibees tell me where the best place to get a few drinks before the game. Last year I couldn't get a drink as Pubs were all booked and you had to have a voucher to get in. All I'm looking for are a few post drinks before cheering the Hibees on to victory. GGTTH :flag:

Best bet is to meet up with others in Glasgow city centre and go for a few there. Hampden is only 5 mins away on the train from Central so head down that way and you'll find some fans somewhere. Sure there's a thread going about somewhere saying where :greengrin.

If you your citylinking back to Dundee and having to wait about after the game you are welcome to join me and a few others for a pint :aok:.

I have a spare ticket for the shed in Hampden if you're interested? There was 8 of us going but one of the lads pulled out so I have a spare ticket.

Doors open at 12, drink from 12.30 but it's vouchers only but for Hibs only

If you're interested, PM me

The Boswell Hotel on Masionhouse Road, 10 minute walk from Hampden, is open from 11. There are a few buses booked in but they are keeping spaces for people walking in off the street, so no need to book if you are on your own.

[cwilliamson85]

Go to love The Counting House. It opens at 8am on a Sunday and I am pretty sure you can get a pint if a breakfast is ordered.

[HibbyKeith]

Tamsons Bar on easter road has a 10am licence and the bus doesn't leave until 11am. so a pre glasgow dram will be available to anyone in or around easter road on Sunday morning.

I'd give the counting house a miss. We went there before the semi and it was a farce. You could only order a drink before 11 if you ordered what they called "a substantial breakfast" so you can't just order a bacon roll or that, you have to order a proper breakfast, and that was for every drink you bought. They wouldn't let you then just go to the bar for a drink after you'd had your breakfast (we tried with a few different bar staff), they were saying again that you would have to buy a breakfast to get another drink before 11.

[God Petrie]

What are the licensing laws? Presumably the majority of boozers don't open until half 12?

[HibbyKeith]

yeah, pretty sure the vast majority are 12:30 on a Sunday mate.

Do shetlleston junios have an early license?

Our plan is to go there for 9:30/10. Get a breakfast then head over to the shed for the 12 o’clock opening time.

I'm sure the Wetherspoons at central station does the early breakfast/drink on a Sunday. I'd double check though.

[Seven Zero]

I beleive they are open at 11am. About 500 Hibbys booked into there this year :)

[1875HFC]

Hi folks, i will be parking in the Queens park bit near hampden on sunday. There will be 4 of us, one under 18, does anyone know of anywhere we could go before the game near here as I personally do not know the are well! Will be wanting to arrive at the car parking place early so can take in the atmosphere but really stuck as to what we can do beforehand.

Any help would be appreciated! :flag:

That depends, are you looking for somewhere to drink or eat?

[1875HFC]

Sorry that is true, em would just be anywhere that is a casual pub style place with food and drink, i reckon most places will have a good atmosphere?

[Keith_M]

TBH, I think anywhere you go will have a good atmosphere.

The nearest street to the Car Park with a number of pubs is Victoria Road, which I sometimes recommend. However, they are ALL Celtic pubs, which any day except Sunday wouldn't matter but....

What you could try is the Number 10 Hotel (http://www.10hotel.co.uk/) on Queens Drive (runs adjacent to the Car Park). They cater to visitors but they might have buses booked in there already. The next bet would be the Church on the Hil (http://www.churchonthehill.co.uk/)l, which is a great atmosphere but you'd need to get their early. Does really good food as well as drink and no problems with kids.

[1875HFC]

Thats brilliant appreciate the help there. Dont want to really be walking any great distance away not sure of any of the areas so the church on the hill looks promising, i will give them a buzz see when they open etc.

Thanks again mate :aok:
