Hibs Friendly Pubs near Tynecastle and Surrounding locales!

[BlackSheep]

Hey everyone,

Despite living nearer to the Yams' stadium most of my life I am unaware of any Hibs friendly pubs to have a pint or two before the Bonnyrigg match...? Ones that will allow scarfs at the very least, i know a lot of venues don't like footie colours, regardless of which team it is.

Any suggestions?

Cheers in advance.

[Keith_M]

Is Robertson's still open?

[Since90+2]

The Roseburn will be absolutely rammed. If you're lucky if enough to get it will take a while to get served and dont expect to get a seat but the atmosphere is brilliant.

Further along the road the Murrayfield hotel will likely be busy with Hibs fans as well and will be abit quieter than the Roseburn. Its about a 25 minute walk back to Tynecastle though.

Never been in the Murrayfield Bar just along from the Roseburn but would imagine a few Hibs fans will be in there but I am not sure if they would allow colours.

[Hermit Crab]

Tynie Arms, used to have a Hibby owner I think.

Roseburn Bar

Murryfield Bar

The Station Tavern

Never seen it open on non match days when I've driven past.

You've got to be careful over that side of town.

If you buy a pint in the wrong hostelry, the mere act of handing over a crisp tenner to pay for your pint with a 5-fingered hand can land you in hot water.

And if you stop to ask any locals for directions to the nearest "watering hole", don't be surprised to see them point at the nearest puddle.

I went into Stratties with the mrs and ordered a pint of lager and the barman asked what my sister was drinking.

[Hibee87]

A wee bit of a walk but Diannes was bouncing before the St J game. 20p a game of pool and 2quid for Diannes own make lager (prob the skimming from the local brewery) was also easy enough to get served upstairs depite it being busy

[NthCarolinaHibs]

It's up For Sale again...

[iwasthere1972]

Diane's Pool Bar at Haymarket. A short ten minute walk to the hovel.

[Pete]

The traditional hearts pubs will be full of hearts fans who are going to the game.

Best stick to the pubs we usually go to or have a pint up town.

[Dashing Bob S]

They will all be Hibs pubs that Saturday.

This is what I thought but seeing as I am in the neck of the woods already Im not keen on heading into town only to come all the way back to the game...

[lugz]

It'll be the roseburn or murrayfield hotel for us depending on what time we start. If it's anything like it used to be unless you're queueing for the roseburn for opening you'll struggle to get in.

There's only 5,000 Bonnyrigg Rose/Yams with tickets to see the game and not all of them will be pubbing it before the match. I can't honestly see Hearts fans who are not going to the match out in their numbers either as its not even on the tellybox.

The Hibs will own Gorgie and the surrounding areas. :flag:

Try Carey Sample Rooms at Slateford, Polwarth Tavern or Mcgowans at Fountain Park

Diggers is run by a hibby.

Everyone should meet in the brauhaus with the colours on and replica Scottish cups to get it right up that hearts ******* that owns it.

[Stax]

The Golden rule in Yeaman place used to be a good wee bar. Used to be my local, not been in for a few years but there used to be a fair few Hibees used to drink in there.

Is that the place where Rudi gets paid to pull the pints to raise money for Hertz fundz

[Dashing Bob S]

Oh, I see, we're counting Luckies as a pub?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Dickens Bar was mobbed before/after the Saints game, I was talking to one of the lassies behind the bar who said they were a bit apprehensive on the day of the game 'cos they have a fair bit of Hearts stuff on the walls (plenty impressive Scottish sport memorabilia too) but, It turned out that it had been a pleasure having us there and not having to deal with Jambos fighting amongst themselves at about 2200! Decent enough working mans pub that will have football and racing on the telly. Usually more Hibs than Jambos in the place unless they are playing at home.

PS Probably best not to ask for a tour of the jambo museum upstairs! :-)

The Ardmillan Hotel is very handy for the ground too.

[lord bunberry]

It is. Rudi the staunch Jambo who charges to help the club he loves. He also made them pay to fly his girlfriend over as well.

[poolman]

It's my local, I have really good banter with the Yams I know there, also, there is a few Hibby locals as well and we all have a good bit piss taking

Indeed Kevin who has the pub has the same banter with the local Yams

It's a really great pub but I keep well away on a yams home game

[MartinfaePorty]

Ardmillan Hotel is ok and not too many people seem to know it's there.

They'll all be rammed with Hibs fans. When we played St Johnstone in the semi last year, there was a lot of talk of the pubs not letting us in, I don't recall any doing so. I was in Dickens, a staunch Jambo bar. It was full of both sets of fans and the owner even put on some free sandwiches for us.

It will be a banquet & a free bar this time to keep your mouths shut. 2 nil & they f@#&£d it up.

[Leith's finest]

Wardens club foŕ me, wonder if bmc club will not let hibs fans in with colours on, another place that welcomes fans is gorgie mills bowling club

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Merchiston Hearts Club is handy for the dump. :-)

Went there for many cousins 50th a couple of years back. Asked DJ for Proclaimers his reply was cannae play that mate I'll get ma books. So half pished they got my own rendition of SOL.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

All the Proclaimers stuff was removed from the jukey in Dickens as the sight of SOL as most popular song was too much for the once a fortnight visitors! I believe most versions of Freed from Desire have been removed too.

[Dashing Bob S]

The Paedophille Arms in Gorgie Road has a nice beer garden where you can leave the kids supervised by staff.

[monktonharp]

had a few pints in a wee bowling club in behind the diggers when we played St J. think its Ardmillan b.c and was fine

A 25 minute walk?? Are you going via Easter Road?

[Scouse Hibee]

Beechwood Bowling Club on Roseburn Street.

Not correct.

That numptie sold it and it is now owned by the young English guy that has Cork and Cask off license on Marchmont Road.

[staunchhibby]

Prison officers club for me

[Since90+2]

It's just under 2kms from the Murrayfield hotel to Tynecastle so about a 20-25 minute walk.

22 minutes according to Google maps so I wasn't far away.

Sorry mate, thought you meant the Roseburn

Pretty sure at the st Johnstone game last season all your "hearts" pubs hit refused any hibs fans

Polwarth Tavern is always full of Hibees. Thats where I will be pre match

[CockneyRebel]

Is Robertson's still open?

It has had several changes of ownership over the last few years and is up for sale again but as a restaurant/bistro premises.

[BoomtownHibees]

Sorry for the long post but Bonnyrigg have tweeted this for their own supporters:

A few hostelries have been in touch with us and we are passing on this information to our supporters which may be of use:

Merchiston Hearts Supporters Club

[Real Emerald]

Slightly changing the subject but does anyone know if Hibs fans in the Wheatfield will exit onto Wheatfield St or are they planning to exit us onto the Roseburn end? My ticket says enter via tutnstiles 1-10 which are on Wheatfield St. This will also affect our pre and post game pub choice.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

It really isn't.

Aye, we enter via Wheatfield turnstiles so pubs on Gorgie/Slateford side a bit more convenient. Bonnyrigg fans in Wheatfield will enter via Gorgie Road end turnstiles.

Edit - assuming we will exit the same way.

[brog]

There's lots of small hotels between the Rosy & Haymarket. The Dunstane was fine & full of Hibbies last time I went to PBS for a Yam game.

[EH54]

Caley Sample rooms for us.

Your original post said "all Hearts pubs" which is nonsense. Now you're saying "a good few". Which is it?
I was in a staunch jambo pub with many other Hibs and Saints fans. The Jambo owner was a fine host.

Which pubs refused Hibs fans?

Rubbish, there was a lot of money to be made that day and they were hardly likely to knock it back especially since it wasn't a derby match. No trouble at all.

I know the BMC made it members only which effectively ruled out Hibs fans that weren't members.

Was there not one of the clubs off Gorgie Road that made it clear no Hibs fans would be welcome? Maybe the one behind Sainsbury's? Sure it was mentioned in a similar thread to this at the time.

BMC Clucb was unequivocal. Th club would be open for the 10 or so jakeys that use it these days in order that they could watch the guunts game live on telly. As it turned out the guunts game was postponed and the BMC missed out on the oodles of green pounds that would flow from two rammed lounges.

Hell mend them.

[Since90+2]

Did the Four in Hand not do something similar when Hearts played ICT at Easter Road? Think they might actually have closed that day as they didn't want any Hearts fans in.

The last time I was in the BMC club it was full of Jambos on very cheap, heavily cut cocaine performing fellatio on each other in the lavatories.

Or maybe I'm thinking of the Wheatfield stand.

Not with Hibs colours. Bouncers were refusing anyone with Hibs colours on.

[howdenthehibby]

Thomsons bar Morrison Street . Nice bar , rammed with Hibby,s at the Saint/J Semi . And the guy that runs the bar is a Hibby.

[Pete]

The bar at the corn exchange is one I forgot about (called "the pub" or something now).

Not been in for years but the owner is a hibee as are the regulars. Not that far away and you can get a game of snooker in too.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

For anyone interested, Its £2 a pint for Strongbow in Dickens.
