Harp and castle leith walk. Hibs club also if you know any members

[OstKurve Hibs]

Think we'll be heading for the harp and castle aswell. Be mobbed in there normally for a derby but even more so wi it being boxing day aswell.
Is that the only two left we'd call proper hibs pubs now, harp and castl amd hibs club ?
I know theres a few dissappear last few yrs, the albion bar, the four in hand and the nip gone aswell and Middletons was up for sale/let last time I was on easter rd itself.

Tamsons and the Iona still hanging on in there as well.

Problem is pubs just can't sustain themselves on a busy weekend every other week. People bemoan the lack of traditional pubs but if we used them and they were viable they wouldn't be closing or shifting the market they are targeting.

Exactly but with the price of pints these days people can't afford it anymore.

And paying £15 minimum for 🐟 & 🍟 or a 🍔 & 🍟.

Unfortunately the cost for everything is through the roof.

Will they show the game in Spain?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Lol, what a hoot. 🙄

Oh cheer up, it's Christmas 🎄

Aye it's on Granada over there.

(One for the kids.)

Forgot about those two, ionas a decent boozer, years since I've been in tamsons, couldnae swing a cat in there tho if a mind right.
Is the tor still there ? Sure a read that had became a bistro cafe.

If you check out the pet peeves page, you'll see why I wasn't feeling too festive. ☺️

I was last in the Tor after the Proclaimers gig on Leith Links 18 months or so ago. Not sure if it has closed since.

Iona is my pre match boozer of choice. Was always Tamsons with my Grandad when I was a bairn. Seat in the back room with juice and crisps and told to be quiet and keep out the way. That was an upgrade on my mum who said her 'scenery' of Scotland as a child was standing outside pubs near football grounds. Changed days with how child friendly so many pubs are now.

Any more of these puns and I will go Radio Rental

Aye, it closed reasonably recently, not sure if the café part remains open. 🤔

Behind the Goals is open.

Tickets can be purchased on Hibs website.

[Frazerbob]

Malones Leith & Haymarket.....Haymarket is ticketed I think.

[gorgie greens]

Pretty sure Mallones is £7.50 a ticket to get in on boxing day,
Manager tells everyone it's a Celtic pub so they can do one for me

It is.

We looked at opening times for going pre match and saw the charge, no chance I'm paying £7.50 to get in to 'Bar O'Themes' for an hour and a half.

Platform 5 is open early so will just head there. Easier to get into than the Roseburn and it does the job.

[CentreLine]

Cask and Barrel on Broughton Street surely a good bet. Also do great, no nonsense bar food.
Their other bar, in Southside is good for watching but don’t do bar food.

[Gloucester Hibs]

The Persevere would be my shout for watching the derby on Easter Road, think it's the only boozer left on ER that still has Sky Sports. Decent scran and a decent choice of pintage too. :party:
