Boozer near usher hall to watch semi

[OstKurve Hibs]

Oright folks, going to pink Floyd tribute gig at usher hall tomorrow, cant make the game and the gig due to the daft kick off time,

Can anyone recommend a pub near the usher hall that will be showing it ?

I wouldn't recommend it as such, but Shakespeare's which is pretty much next door should have it on.

Failing that, the chanter on bread street or possibly the blue blazer (across from there) should all have it on.

Footlights could be a shout.. if there's not a German game on at the same time that they're showing instead :wink:

I've always had it in my head that was a Hearts pub?

It’s painted like one but I go there before derbies and it’s basically just a boozer.

Don’t bother with Bennett’s.. We went in there to watch Scotland v England before a Kraftwerk gig at Usher Hall, and they said sniffly that they don’t usually show football but realised there was a big game on and agreed to show it but with volume muted. The whole pub was up on the floor celebrating Griffiths’ second free kick with staff running about demanding everyone sat back down. An odd, and very unwelcoming pub, and subsequently have never been back.

Sports bar in Teviot (you don't need to be a student) might be a shout, watcched Hibs games there in the past. £3 pints and probs won't be full of folk claiming to be 'Celic' fans. Of not, Doctors is near by.

It's not a daft kick off time.
Just your priority to watch a tribute band.

We went in there after The Cup win. About 15 of us. Had a few rounds and sang a few songs. The barman got arsey and we decided to leave. We were planning to stay for a few more pints but the attitude was honking. None of us have been back since.

I've always had it in my head that was a Hearts pub?In the last ten years I think I`ve only been in Mathers West End twice both times after winter Derbies at Tynecastle . Both times the pub was nearly empty and both times the few folk ( only 4 or 5 ) were definitely Hibernian fans who had probably not been to a Hibs match home or away for many years but definitely had our club in their blood ( knew a lot of songs I learnt in the Cave in the 60s / 70s for example ) . Any pub in the centre of Edinburgh will be used by office workers and tourists etc and on match days at Tynecastle no doubt some Hearts fans have a drink on way to match but historically it`s certainly not a Hearts pub if such a thing exists outside of Gorgie .

Footlights or the Chanter on Bread Street are probably the best options nearby.

Pink Floyd? Woah, how far are we regressing?

I have it on good authority the Pink Floyd are progressive rather than regressive.

I saw the real one in 1974 at the Usher Hall. Hibs had a great team then.

[OstKurve Hibs]

Cheers for the info folks, much appreciated,

Ah, that’s good. Like it.

Ma auld man drank in Mathers for about 50 years. He'd be birlin' in his grave to hear it called a Herts pub!

Aa you say, inevitably it attracts Jambos prior to home games but the ones I've known who have frequented the establishment over the years are for the most part good lads.

[calumhibee1]

Ok. Maybe it’s not a Hearts boozer then :greengrin

Nah, drank in there regularly for ten years when I worked at the West End decent boozer and certainly not a Hearts pub.
