Stevo985 Posted May 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2015 Any pub recommendations in Brum to watch the match? I'm heading to Mooch Bar on Broad Street. Watched a few 6 Nations games in there and it's a decent sports bar, new and refurbished. I'm hoping the fact that it used to be Rococco's means that a lot of Villa fans will go there too (Rococco used to show all the Villa games IIRC). If it's crap then Walkabout is next door. I went there for the League Cup final a few years back and it was a pretty good atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Any pub recommendations in Brum to watch the match? From the Birmingham Mail Aston Villa v Arsenal: Where to watch the FA Cup Final in Birmingham 18:05, 26 MAY 2015 BY MATT CANNON Some of the best pubs and bars showing the big match in Birmingham this Saturday. You've finished making your tinfoil cup cut-out and the lucky pants are washed - but where are you going to watch Saturday's FA Cup final? If you missed out on a Wembley ticket chances are you're still yearning to watch the game nestled in the safety of the claret and blue army. Well fear not. We've got the low down on some of the best pubs, bars and venues showing the game this Saturday (May 30). Remember the match kicks-off at 5.30pm and is being shown on BBC One and BT Sport 1. In no particular order here's our list. Take a look and tell us where you'll be watching the game on Facebook, Twitter or on the comments section below. Walkabout 271 Broad Street, B1 2DS England fans at the Walkabout bar on Broad Street, Birmingham, watch the national side's last World Cup game at the 2014 World Cup.England fans at the Walkabout bar on Broad Street, Birmingham, watch the national side's last World Cup game at the 2014 World Cup. The Australian-themed bar in Broad Street is always a popular venue for the big games. As a bonus, should Villa win its central location will be handy to carry on the celebrations elsewhere. The Lord Clifden 34 Great Hampton Street, B18 6AA The beer garden of The Lord Clifden in Hockley.The beer garden of The Lord Clifden in Hockley. If it's sunny - aren't all FA Cup final days - then this Hockley hotspot could be a good bet with its garden and outdoor bar. An increasingly popular venue with footy fans. Boxxed 104-108 Floodgate Street, B5 5SR Table Tennis meets football at Boxxed on Saturday.Table Tennis meets football at Boxxed on Saturday. Event organisers Serve Ping were throwing a table tennis night at the Digbeth venue. Now they're planning on brining in big screens to turn it into a huge FA Cup meets ping pong party. Read our preview for more details here. Snobs 51 Smallbrook Queensway, B5 4HX Snobs nightclub moved to its larger premises on the corner of Smallbrook Queensway and Hurst Street, last year.Snobs nightclub moved to its larger premises on the corner of Smallbrook Queensway and Hurst Street, last year. Both the upstairs bar and downstairs club at the city centre venue showing the action on 15 screens - including two giant screens. Temple Street Social 40 Temple Street, B2 5DP Temple Street Social.Temple Street Social. A football fan favourite for many. Its smack bang central in the middle of the city centre so is a handy meeting place. Expect the bar and the street to get pretty busy but if you're struggling to find a good spot head across the road to The Trocadero.

For the best songs and banter you could do worse than head to the match-day pubs near Villa Park. Villa-themed The New Adventurers, the Perry Barr bar that's big with BCU students the Hare of the Dog, the friendly Ruskin Hall and the recently re-opened Aston Tavern. The White Swan 276 Bradford Street, B12 0QY The White Swan in Digbeth.The White Swan in Digbeth. One of the city's best looking pubs has a projector screen but is not the biggest venue so head down early to make sure you get in. Gosta Green Holt Street, B7 4BG The Gosta Green bar near Aston University.The Gosta Green bar near Aston University. Near Aston University's main campus this could the safe bet that keeps everyone happy. It's a Scream bar so it might be worth registering your More card (formerly Yellow card) to claim reward points and freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Where are any Villa fans in Worcester watching? I tend to go The Pheasant (if I go out at all) but fancy somewhere with a few more people and some atmosphere this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Watching with friends. 1 is a Villa fan, the other 2 support Arsenal. There will be quite a lot of shouting and name calling. The neighbors better brace themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
