Neville Street Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Forgot to say Cornish Arms in my list! Usually has Tribute as well, not strong but v nice. Pubs gone a bit dancey/DJ noisy but if its dry, which it will be, its a good place to get a beer and hang around outside or go along and listen to Leftfield from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 My favourite bar is the one I'm closest to. Rather predictably, that's often the Avalon Inn. But if you're paying, I'll go anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario man Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Tricketts - the beer tastes better up there 🍻 The one by Acoustic (Red Flag?) - great selection of ales and a bit of peace away from the madness Bimble because of the cash register (and also good beer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility of Solitude Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Couple of people asking the name of the bar beside the Acoustic which does a half decent selection of ales.... it’s the Cockmill, and looks like this.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Quaife Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 We've a potential pub crawl mapped out for the Wednesday (entering from PGC)...Cockmill -> Cider Bus -> Sam Remo -> Spike Bar -> Avalon Inn. First timers, so that should give us a fair wee circuit of the site. Must check out a few of the others , some choice. Re free flow / bar, would most be 50/50 as regards drinking their own beer / beer from one of the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d add that the same clientele head to Brothers once they are too far gone to be served in San Remo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy24 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 The best thing about Beat Hotel was that you could get a pint of San Miguel. Not sure if this is was still the case last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say if you are in one of the more pub like bars like Avalon then most people will be drinking from the bar but you certainly don’t have to and no one minds if you drink your own. Spike isn’t really as much of a bar as it used to be following all the changes last year to that area (which is a shame as was always our meet up point) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice drunk Thursday is our tradition. Start drinking at brothers about 11 until we pass out in the afternoon. Wake up, get some food and start round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gacheezbo Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Do love the brothers bar, £5 for a cold 7% pint in the sun. Need to avoid it on the Wednesday though, last 2 festivals ended up in bed by 9pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR77 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Would be great if there was an official guide to all the bars etc and what gets played there, especially after the headliners. Used to enjoy ending the night at the Williams Green tent, so would be good to know if there's a similar (albeit smaller!) alternative this year. I also remember stumbling upon a small bar on my way back to my tent in 2017... was near Pyramid and playing 90s Britpop... no idea what it was called, and sadly it wasn't listed anywhere. Would be good to have a list of all bar/pub DJ sets... and by genre, not just the name. Hoping to find somewhere after the headliners that plays Williams Green or 90s indie type stuff.

I think we got asked to leave for dancing on them, all a bit hazy but lost a couple evening in there failing to make it en route to the SE corner.
