Pete375 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What is the best pre match drinking establishment? The Drayton Park is the one I have been to previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john007121 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I was wondering the same as you. Last year I went to "The York" just outside Angel Station - a nice Nicholsons Pub with decent beer and ok food. Not many football fans though. I'm arriving at 11.30ish so I might head to The York for a few before heading to The Drayton Arms to soak up the atmosphere. Unless anyone has any other pre-match boozer recommendations.....??

Hiney Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Think we're going to start in the griffin in Farringdon. It's basically a boozer that isn't overpriced but has strippers performing shows, they come round every 20 mins or so and you just put a £1 in the pint glass. Think private dances are available too! Opens at midday too! Beer, strippers, villa away.. can't think of a better saturday afternoon to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have a wonder in here when I am in london tomorrow :-) Think we're going to start in the griffin in Farringdon.

Pete375 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well I actually live in the old stadium in Highbury so we'll stroll over to the Drayton for about 1. The twelve pins is great but is proper Arsenal. Re: The Griffin. Also used to work in Farringdon. That place is ridiculous. Great for watching Sunday football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 We usually stop off at King's Cross (handy if you're arriving into Euston, it's one stop on the tube on the same line as Arsenal/Finsbury Park), plenty of boozers and there is a certain establishment that doesn't sound too dissimilar to the aforementioned The Griffin that opens at about midday and is quite cheap with the added entertainment, unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. The Drayton Arms/Park is the designated away pub but that is often rammed and they stop letting people in a few hours before kick-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete375 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Flying Scotsman is the similar establishment to The Griffin. If you are going from Euston to Kings Cross it is under a five minute walk and probably less hassle than the tube. You just turn left out of Euston and walk straight.

islingtonclaret Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Right boys, I'm on Severn Sisters Road at the Holloway Road end. I was going to the Baring for this but as I can march across the Emirates and Islington in my colours I might as well go to the Drayton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
