Pre-Match Pub on Saturday

[Nakedmanoncrack]

What options are people looking at?
A Saturday not so bad as a Sunday, but still limited opportunities to get a few in before the early KO.

Murrayfield Hotel opens at 9am as always for beers

[Leith's finest]

The roseburn is always good, but they don't allow as many fans in these days like they used to

[Here’s Lucy!]

Got to be the Roseburn.

Wee greasy spoon almost opposite it, called the Roseburn Cafe, does a great breakfast too.

[Pretty Boy]

Plenty pubs in Edinburgh open early if you fancy a taxi dash to the game.

As said above if looking for somewhere nearby then the Murrayfield Hotel will also be open early doors. If they have the tent out the front up service is usually pretty quick.

Rammed with Hibs fans pre-match, as is the Murrayfield Hotel. The Murrayfield Bar less so but open from 9am so I expect it to be busy this time.

I would say it is mostly Hibs fans on derby day but not been there for a couple of years.

[Sean1875]

Murrayfield hotel for me

And good luck to any Jambos that try to get into The Roseburn pre-match on derby day

Anywhere near the choo choo station that opens early? 9am start would be good but I can just about hold off till 10.

Okay, cheers

Murrayfield and Roseburn are the two old favourites - and are fine if you don't mind being packed in like sardines, and like a raucous atmosphere with high risk of drink getting spilled over you. To be honest personally that's not really for me any more, we had made Diane's the preferred option over recent years, but sadly that has gone. Was always a mixed crowd, but being able to share bar space with Jambos without feeling like resorting to violence that wasn't a problem. Thinking of Platform 5 for this one, open early and I was in last Sat afternoon and it was a mixed crowd with a lot of Aberdeen without any problems.

The Booking Office at Waverley is a Wetherspoons and open at 7am. You'll get a pint as long as you buy a bacon roll or something.

[Lancs Harp]

Bacon butty and a cup of tea on the sofa at home for me ........ you lucky so and so's.

I suppose there are worse situations to find yourself in than being at home with a bacon butty and brew on the go with the Hib Hearts match on the box come to think about it.

Did you try for a ticket or can you just not make it this week?

[Hermit Crab]

I passed Murrayfield the other day and theres a tent like bar place on the water of leith side of the road now as well, not sure if that will be open on Saturday though.

I never make it remotely close to getting a ticket for Tynecastle especially not being a season ticket holder these days.

A pop up Malones. Was opened for the 6 nations, I would have thought they'd have tried to stay open for the Edinburgh v Munster game and then the derby if it were up to them.

Was open for the Munster game and only got a licence for the Wales game. Not heard anything about the derby, would presume they won’t be open for the derby since it was a rugby charity that arranged for Malones to host the pop up bar.

Tent at Murrayfield Hotel will be up for this weekend.

I take it the new pub where Diane’s once was isn’t an early opener at more?

Wetherspoons branches don’t start serving alcohol until 9am, it’s just breakfast and brews before then.

Caley Picture House Lothian Road is cheaper than the Booking Office and nearer Tiny

Apparently the Booking Office have to keep their prices higher because of their proximity to Waverley Station ??

Booking Office is part of Waverley station, and as I understand the station owners effectively get a cut.
