YOUR pre-match watering hole of choice?

[bright1064]

For home matches obviously.

What is the most popular choice of public house for Brighton fans? Just out of curiosity really. I have the day off tomorrow ahead of the game and was trying to figure out where I will be going.

Usually stay close to Brighton Station and the get the train in from there, so I often drink in the Standard.

Railway Bell

Sometimes the Preston Brewery tap.

 

[Horsham Gull]

Crown and Anchor for me

The Station at Preston Park is best, even if you do need wellies for the walk to the ground at the moment. Well worth it.

Railway Bell

Yes, there too!

My kitchen or sometimes living room if the racing is on.

One must be frugal in these tough times.

If you get to the bar and get served in time for kick off.

Brewery Tap. Obviously.

Midweek games only I tend to hop the choo choo at Preston Park and stroll down the hill to the Preston Park Hotel.

The Park View. Top nosh and a decent pint - what more can you ask for?

A bit of service at the bar?

For the past couple of weeks, I have been drinking in the Battle of Trafalgar up Guilford Road, just by Brighton station. Mostly because I'm with a mate, and it serves Harveys.

I've often walked past and been curious about that place, because from the outside the inside looks ancient, if you see what I mean?

So what is it like inside?

oh yeah "bloody lovely pizza" that's just what you want before going to a match!! I've often said to my mates "Let's get down the pub early doors before the match for for 8 or 9 inches of dough with Jalepenos, ham and pineapple"!!

I thought this was a thread about the "best pre-match waterin hole" to go to,....

.....not the "best pre-match, stone-baked-oven, bistro, wine-list-to-die-for, pork belly and hummus, pinot, pinot, pinot, upper-middle class, gastro, daddy's got a Porsche, sponsor me to bike ride around Machu Pichhu 'cos it looks like I'm raising money for charity but actually you're paying for my holiday, celeriac serving, fee-wifi 'cos god knows we couldn't live a nano second without tweeting, shiraz, shiraz, shiraz, no peanuts but fuckin olives offering , we think Southern Comfort is the same as Jack Daniel's selling, why not join us for speed-dating every Wednesday??,do you work for Mischon Mackay, soulless, bleach-smelling, Massive Attack playing, free postcard vending, black-hole of culture pub"

"bloody lovely pizza" before the match. I'm not 'avin' it

Anyway, I vote for the cocktail bar at The Grand hotel.
