If The Riverside is that pub opposite the station with the stairs that lead down to the garden, it is an absolute HOVEL.
I felt I needed a shower after leaving it.

The ground is nice and central to town. I also recommend the The Black Horse (IP1 2EF), we'll be there pre-game, it's got a big beer garden/car park to spill out onto if the weather is good. Post game avoid the Curve Bar (soulless bar for home fans, with bouncers on the door etc), we'll probably be heading into town a bit to The Swan (IP1 1EG) for a couple. As per other comments the pub next to the station for away fans is dreadful. Mannings is also a nice small pub in the centre of town.

The Black Horse is the one next to the Police Station? If so that is a dump as well.

The Black Horse was dreadful 2 seasons ago.
I cannot believe the hotel by the station and the Black Horse are the options people are talking about.
Actually do a bit of research and you will discover Ipswich is one of the better drinking towns that we go to this season.

Not going to share them, quite happy to have a few beers with the people I am travelling with.
But this amazing thing called Google and the search term 'Ipswich Pubs' will give you some options...

Thanks for the google tip off, is that some sort of new search engine? The next time anyone starts a thread asking for recommendations, advice or opinions on anything, just you should just put a link to google and declare the thread closed. Or alternatively just don't post.

I am amazed people can find their way to the town we are playing in, let alone a pub, judging by the 'what are we doing at X' threads that appear on here.
Maybe try the Blue Parrot....

For a drink, the station bar there is now rubbish.
For other reasons I could not comment.

that's a shame, maybe the two QPR fans who got battered by the lady behind the bar with a mop a few years back put a downer on it
