Delighted the Beat Hotel is gone. Usually rubbish left everywhere and a real town square in Torremolinos vibe about it. 

It will be exactly the same this year though, same people behind it, it just won’t be Hotel themed.

There was a new bar in 2019 - The Elephant Bar?  Part of the Carling setup but did have a couple of good craft beers on including Brooklyn Defender IPA and Brooklyn lager

 

Where was that?

You know what, until you said that I never realised that they actually themed the place. But photos confirm that they made the most token of effort.

Think we were here on the Wednesday or Thursday, had green 'walls' inside the tent, I think?

The Stone Masons was gone in 2019 as well wasn't it?  I found it in 2017 and it was a nice place to sit and regather some energy.

Exactly this. 

Would always walk past half expecting them to be doing a wet tshirt competition.

Also the amount of NOS canisters left lying around was disgraceful.

This is T&C way, if memory serves. Up on the left as you go through the main arch.

Maybe a bit bias as my wife is Cornish but Cornish Arms is always a favourite of mine

Yes - fundamentally, it got killed by people talking about publicly rather than just being happy that they'd found something secret (and unsanctioned).

That's a damn fine question!  Picture below shows the view outside which looks very Marketplace?

Will you be hoping the same for the pyramid . Not much different

To be fair I only found it because people talked about it.

Sure - but ideally those conversations shouldn't have been on efests and twitter where they can be seen by the MDC licencing office..

That's the badger!

So between Pyramid and Other.

Could this be the place to post your Thursday pub crawl routes too 👀 I planned one in 2015 with a map and everything, needless to say we made it to about the fourth one and beyond that I can’t remember what happened.

So Kasbah replaced by The Taphouse. Still not sure what The Elephant Bar replaced or where it is, similar with The Open Arms.

I’m up for trying another crawl this year, like you we rarely make it past bar four…

I like the bars run by my favourite bristol pub chain, that's event bars who run the cadbùy, the farm and others, in Bristol and the ridge furrow and others at glasto

did just have a gander back at old pub crawls, this will be something i'm very much looking forward to!

[Funkyfairy!]

Theatre and circus bar after main stage headlners , in the last field before Gate C - always had an awesome fun night in there , I think it closes at 2 from memory 

[Obiginnaw]

can't remember the name of the bar or where it was, but if memory serves (which it usually doesn't) it was castle/grey themed? i liked that one, got a pretty solid ale in there

It was 'cruise ship' themed one year... I think - cocktails and dreams from memory. Cheesy music, cocktails, deckchairs and palm trees 🙂
