JudyJudyJudy Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Judging from our experience on sunday when we couldn’t get into any pubs in grass market unless we had booked I’d advise to attempt to book . I looked on “ 3 sisters “ website but they said they were closed . Apparently at Wetherspoons u can’t book ( not that I would anyway ) but I’ll need to see where is good for the Monday game as well as Friday one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most pubs can probably only get in under half of what they used to you’d better book somewhere but I think your going to be struggling. I tried yesterday to book somewhere for the Saturday after the game and everywhere I tried was booked. To be honest it’s no much fun trying to get into a pub nowadays if you haven’t booked and last week I gave up and just went home early. The quicker pubs get back to normal the better plus they must be losing a fortune as only half full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 'Out of town' pubs should be your go to. No booking required so long as you get in with hours to spare. None of that social distance nonsense either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_HMFC Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I like going to the pub to watch the football but I'll be watching the Scotland games in the house with a couple beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I would imagine most 'local' pubs are booking free. Certainly my experience so far. These places aren't going to have slots meaning that there regulars can't get in or have to leave after two hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Booking only as far as I’m aware. Certainly in the town centre. Myself and 3 mates have booked Milne’s for the Czech game. We get 3 hours in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sow Easy Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Found a table at the Black Bull at the Grassmarket outdoors, I'm assuming they will be showing the games out there and not just indoors, anyone know the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Haggis Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Did look at it - the max 6 from three households and max 2 hours makes it a bit of a nightmare. Just heading to a mates for it with a few beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Bit off the topic here, but are pubs still closing at 10? Heard last night it's been extended to 11, but the person who said it is rather unreliable. Going to the local soon and don't want to get comfy only for bell to still ring at 10.

Shanks said no Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Booked a table at the Mad Hatter on Torphichen Place, they will welcome your custome, as the 10pm closing time is crucifying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Reynolds Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Me and a mate booked a couple six person tables about a month ago after we realised heading down to London was going to be more hassle than its worth. Even then we had to put down £10 non-refundable deposits and it wasn't in my top five places to go. Still, better than nothing. Also been invited to the fanzone in Glasgow Green but not sure if that'll be worth it. Hard to find details about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governor Tarkin Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 We built a pub in a mates back garden during the 'circuit break'. Beer taps finally going in this week. Will be bouncing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
