Leith Green Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Right, f**k this "Hibs are a shambles, another sacked manager" nonsense. Question for the P&B Hibbies going to Birmingham. Wheres everyone thinking of going for the pre match sesh? Our hotel is only a few mins from New St Station, and close to Broad St / Jewellery Quarter. No 100% sure where we are all meeting yet, but any thoughts? Certainly dont want to be like the Lucerne guys when they were over here, they spent most of the day in the Abbey Buffet in Newington ( a shithole). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the gentrification of Leith caused you to grow a hipster beard and seek out craft ale? The Abbey isn't the greatest pub but I wouldn't call it a shithole (although the Lucerne boys should have gone to the Cask Southside and sampled Orkney Best) The Grapes- now there's a shithole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadian Centre is the place to be according to the official club website. Getting the bus down for this early Thursday morning and back up the road after the game. Strangely looking forward to the day out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, I do have a "lazy mans" beard most days and try to drink real ale. I agree on Cask, and was perhaps overzealous about The Abbey...........as you say, its not The Grapes !!! 6 hours ago, Lyle Lanley said: Arcadian Centre is the place to be according to the official club website.

A friend has suggested the Arcadian is a bit of a soulless joint - think we are going to head to Broad Street, lots of pubs and restaurants there and the canal area. Have a great trip (match aside !). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Is there anywhere in Edinburgh likely to show the St Johnstone game on 23rd September? We're out for lunch and might have time to catch the second half. If not, then any pub with soccer Saturday on will work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You from Southside mate? Abbey used to be a great pub as was the pub before it turned into the Cask. Grapes agree is probably the worst. Prefer the Horse these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 For those of you going down who don't know the area, Birmingham s very hard to get wrong if you're looking for a day out on the bevvy. You should really just tip up and stroll round the city centre. There are good boozers literally every few steps. It's a great place for bevvying. Vastly under-rated as a boozing destination. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was younger, you couldn't walk past without witnessing the full-throttle paggerings. Whereas last time I was in Edinburgh, I went past on the bus and spotted two - yes, two - mobility scooters parked outside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the guys that used to fight years ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
