Watering hole for buses on cup final day

[jonny]

Hi Guys,

I've just booked my bus into a pub on the East side of Hampden (1.5miles from the ground) from 11:15 on cup final day - the Brazenhead Bar. Manager of the pub (Shamus) said that so far mine is the only bus booked in there and if another 3 or 4 wanted then they have space. If anyone is looking for somewhere to go before the match for a refreshment then give me a shout and I'll pass you on contact details for the place. They are child friendly as well. It's an Irish bar and they won't be letting jambo's in on the day. I have no association with the pub and gain nothing from advertising the fact they have spaces - just thought it might be useful to anyone looking for somewhere to kick off the day.

If you can stomach all the Celtic memorabilia its not that bad, we were in after the Semi & locals were friendly enough.

Definately this place, it was a celtic supporting mate that suggested it - good news is they hate the jambos nearly as much as us!

you do seem to have a real serious problem with Glasgow.any idea where people could go for a few beers? unless they have the same issues

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What problem have i got with it? I can think of a multitude of pubs through there that are vastly superior to that place.

I didnae have any problem with the city last Saturday after spending time in numerous watering holes pre/post semi final.

The Brazenhead is horrible, horrible pub. Disgusting Celtic and republican memorabilia cover the walls, including some very dubious pro-IRA stuff when I was last in, which was a good few years ago thankfully. It is also nearer the Hearts end and NOT to the East of Hampden.

I was in it after we lost the semi to Aberdeen a few years ago and was basically hounded out because I didn’t join their IRA love in. Avoid like the plague is my advice!

[Lofarl]

So what decent boozers are there around Hampden. One near our side that's decent and does not feel like a wolftones concert.

[TamHibs]

We're booked into the Kings Park Hotel, anyone been there before?

Montford is right behind the Hibs end and has a large funtion suite upstairs. Might be fully booked but worth a try.

It was suggested to me by a Celtic fan but the fact that its close to the ground and will be packed with Hibs fans on the day is much more important to me than what they have on their walls.
To be fair to them, the manager of the place was really friendly and was keen to accomodate us. Im sure once the Hibs songs start it‘ll have a good atmosphere inside

The Beechwood is just along the road from there, may also be worth phoning as it was mobbed b4 the semi, a fair few tables outside though.

Not so, its a straight forward walk to our end of Hampden, in fact if walking back to City Centre post-match from Aitkenhead Rd you will most likely pass it, and you'll do so long before you encounter any opposition supporters. not a in any way a lover of Celtic memorabilia, but as I say if you can stomach that its ok. As for Republican memorabilia, didn't notice anything any more offensive than a copy of the proclamaition of an Irish Republic framed on the wall.

[Captain Trips]

I live in southside of Glasgow.

On the Brazen Head, not been in it but it is not really at our end of stadium I would say it is on main route Hearts fans may walk up but there will be Hibs as well.

Pubs near hand for Hibbies -

Beechwood

International

Montford

Picture house

Hope this helps

We're booked into Pandora's in Victoria Road (20 mins from the ground). Holds around 500 folk so lots of space. Child friendly and will hopefully be getting lots of Hibs' tunes on the 'turntable' as well as kicking off a karaoke sesh or two !!

Was in there for a couple of beers before the semi. Was in a wee lounge bar as there was only five of us. We were there as guests of a couple of residents. They obviously have a function hall as it does weddings etc. Bit pricey for a round but if your used to Edinburgh prices it wont come as such a shock.

Our bus is booked into a bowling club that we have used before. Cheap drink and they supply us with free pies and beans. :-)

[James Connolly]

A lot of the Freaks buses are booked into the Southside of The Weedge, Giffnock and the likes.

[Dav1986]

There's around 10 of us going through together- we may be getting on a bus- if not we'll be looking to get booked in somewhere near Hampden. any bowling clubs etc or pubs that anyone would recommend as near to Hampden as possible.
