Beer is usually off?

If you want a decent pint, then avoid pubs that serve food. Ale is normally cack and will be full of kids running around.

Get the bus into town and Wilkies, decent beer and a knowledgeable RL crowd in there, no trouble either. Finish off in the Lower Angel.

This would be my vote.

The Lower Angel is where i start my game day drinking.It has some cracking ales on.But i get the impression it has a certain target audience..

porters, Lower Angel and maybe a quick stop in Looking Glass but first two are cracking.

All of the are technically my locals.

Woodies is great, they will have the game on, plenty of screens.
Chapel is good, they only have a couple of tv's and it's a pretty small pub. Barmaids are very attractive.
Ignore the Trigger, they sold out from being a pub to being a restaurant.
Butchers Arms has recently been done up, lots more TV screens, and they now have San Miguel on draught, unfortunately it's at the expense of Fosters but it could have been worse, they could have replaced it with some crap like Heineken.
