Burnie_man Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 In the interests of avoiding wasting time better spent drinking than finding an establishment in the first place, I give you Blackburn as a starter (Susan Boyle may sometimes be found in the Happy Valley).

Also spent an interesting day/night in the Golden Hind many moons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turf is now a cafe these days, the Almond Inn is re-opening shortly. The Golden Hind is long gone when the Mill (Shopping) Centre was redeveloped.

heedthebaa Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Ok, so not as eloquently done as burnieman’s, but this is the Berwickshire rivieras finest holes tavern......pool table, stunning views on the bay, San Miguel is quite stunning contented sole..... on the harbour, small but good craic, good pin, best scampi and chips in town The Fleet..... a glorious pint of T, log fire, horse racing on, even smaller than the sole, but a real mans pub (see giacopazzis) Oblo’s, same building, more upmarket for you junior heathens, pricier but great pint. Main sponsors so the players go their aftermatch for scran Golf club.... just 200yds above the pitch, whether they let you in, i could find out for the more posher amongst you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The Masonic Arms in Broxburn is probably the best one. The Green Tree and the Badgers are alright as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Black Bull is closest to Dalkeith Thistle. It does a decent pint of Tennents, and on average, some local only starts on a random non-local every other hour, so time it right and you'll enjoy it.The Harrow Hotel is where the teams go post match, and the Weatherspoons is nearby as well. Other pubs in the centre would be instantly forgotten most likely.Local knowledge: the tap room at Cross Borders Brewery is currently held every second weekend, and if the stars align with the fixture list, that's where I'll be heading. It's an intimate affair, and probably too far to walk to game for most tastes. The beer however, is tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Burntisland Shipyard's ground is a 10-15 minute walk from the railway station, however the Jubilee Tavern is only a minutes walk from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 This might be controversial. Golden Rule, pints, 20 minute walk along the canal, Tynecastle FC... This type of view will await you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. But the kilted pig sells "haggis cigars" and for that reason I'm out. Plus I like nothing more than walking past a clutch of swans and angry ducklings on my way to a football match. Closest is not necessarily the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I'm interested by thoughts on Leith Athletic. Leith is of course replete with magnificent pubs to cover all tastes and wallets, but Peffermill 3G is nowhere near any of them.South Edinburgh is a barren wasteland for pubs. So is the best bet here a refreshment in the centre and then venture south, or would a trip to the Sheep Heid Inn at Duddingston be viable? That's a decent 30 minute walk with promise perhaps of more swans and angry ducklings on the adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
