Drylaw Hearts Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Tynie Arms. The bottles are always warm, the Managers' a tornfaced tramp, the bogs stink and the TV has no sound. But it's the shortest walk to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Robbo's seems to have the best atmosphere but I've never fancied waiting to get into a pub and likewise, I always used to find the Tynie Arms a difficult place to get served an hour either side of the game. It's The Diggers for me, as no matter how busy it gets, the service is fantastic although I've never gone in for that warm floaty beer they're famous for! It's lager or Guinness for me. Plus that's where most of my mates are. The Westfield is a place I like to occasionally pop in to, mostly to meet certain people as opposed to it being a wonderful pub. It's a huge place, but I seem to remember it being better in its Mr Qs days when it was my pre/post match local circa 2000/01. Further out, I sometimes go into The Oak Inn to hang with my brother and the guys there. Great bunch of lads and the mini bus there is an awesome experience. Buffalo Bill .

Westfield for me as I can get the 15 year old in no probs. Oak is an experience that everyone should try. Big Bobby Bowie and his pals winding up the away support coming in and going home - quality !

Era Macaroons Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 PRE MATCH ,I like to pop in to the Clerry Inn followed by the Rainbow/Centurian/ Harp and Oak. Hop on a bus to Ryries after lunch at the Struan hotel but normally move on before away fans start showing up sprouting rubbish. Onto Dickins & Balmoral but the Queens never in and neithers Charles (I start to really miss the Clock Inn at this point) and see whos in the Ardmillan Hotel beer garden. I pure walk RIGHT PAST the Caley Sample Rooms, you'll no catch me goan in there, to remind myself about that famous brown stuff at the Diggers and when I get to the Golden Rule I remember I'm going the wrong way. About turn and double check that the 80 in Diggers is still OK (they still refuse to gie me a barrell for 80 shilling , false advertising if you ask me), before making a beeline to Robbo's to look at all his memorabilia again, every time I go in there I can niver remember what he put on the walls, Im sure he changes it every week, anyway, finally catch up with my pals in the Tynie arms for a good blether, we're no daft, closest boozer tae Tynie...thats where you'll find us. 3pm on the dot I make it to the game, on wi my yellow jacket, and down to business.....'Can you sit down please', 'Can you sit down please' , 'No standing in stairwell' ..Ill get that supervisers job yet. POST MATCH Tynie Arms of course, its the closest boozer tae Tynie ye knaw, beat the rush there and head along to Stratys for a house vodka before waiting on the train at the Station Tavern, that must be the worst service in Edinburgh, never caught it yet. I normally give up and head down to Mr Qs to see if I can catch up with some kickbackers. Crivvins knows where they aw are?, Ahm always typing away on my laptop like crazy but never see anybody else using one. Next stop is the Wheatsheaf, I dont think they like me in there tho, they've not let me in for months, Im sure I can hear folk in the back but give up after an hour ,anyway, Im off to Luckys to check my lottery ticket, if this is where the lucky folk go they're no letting on. "TAXI", better get home before I start getting bevvied. So, Ill see Ye'all in the pub on Saturday then! MON THE HEARTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 probably the worst pub in Gorgie....Stratties...but a chance to have a drink with my old man - a large house whiskey a seat right next to the (top) bar good company cheap drink a laugh and a joke (usually at the hobbits expense) pleasent bar staff 2 minutes walk to the Wheatfield stand (10 mins to que along the road though ) it might not be the best pub, but it'll do for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still enjoy a pint in there but I prefer the Haymarket nowadays Never did I think you'd say such a gay comment like that. Still drink in Westfields, but there's a rather loud knob that drinks there now that is putting off me and most my pals (better not mention him though, as he's my brother in law ) A wee jaunt back to Luckies for me this season, but with some post match banter in Robbo's after.

I think if you ventured along to it post match days Mr T, you'd even be impressed with the rather fruitful songs that it has adopted. Love the CC blooms comment, but so far off the mark. So far that we left last year as it was getting too rowdy and headed up to ................................................... wait for it................Robbo's. But we're real fans in there.
