Can not remembr the name, but there is a pub on the corner of the street just as you walk up from Grahamstoun Station which is good. It is on two levels, and not far from teh stadium as you vcan get there in fiv minutes, by taxi, if you are feeling flush as it is just along Grangemouth Road.

The Mole Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 You could always try the new Sportsters.....plenty of big screens to watch EPL before the game. Used to be the old Cinema (opposite Rosies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberjambo Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Last time I was there I went to Pennies. Just up the road next to the indoor market. Rough and ready but friendly enough with a few Jambos there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be the old Cinema (opposite Rosies) Do not know if you would get in with colours though.They were really strict a couple of weeks ago with the old firm match.Noticed quite a few folk with Arsenal,Everton,French and England ect gear on and not getting in.Checked for tattoos as well.Plastic tumblers as well. It is one of those family friendly pubs through the day so your football fan may not be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washniklaw Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Woodside. Woodside is more traditional and has many a jambo visiting regularly;). It's just down from the High Station although still quite far away from the stadium. I'm not sure if match day would be the best because lots of Falkirk fans get bused down from the pub. On the other hand, it could be an opportunity to get a (free) lift for some charming Jambos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Heaney Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 What is the best station to go to (High or Grahamston) or are they both about the same. I'm assuming Falkirk High is best bet for regular service coming back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Falkirk High is best bet for regular service coming back? Grahamston is closest to the ground, 5 mins in a taxi from the ground, High Station has the quickest service home , 20minutes , Grahamston 40 mins to Edinburgh approx. Theres trains every 25-35 mins at each station I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocam2325 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The Woodside is the best pub in Falkirk and its about 1 minute downhill from Falkirk High. Avoid the Mill Inn at all costs unless you want to encounter Falkirks finest half wits. BTW a bit expensive but good town centre pub. Right opposite Falkirk Grahamston Station. Wetherspoons across from the new Sportsters (City Nightclub) for a cheap pint. Plenty other smaller town centre pubs with none that are particularly troublesome. Wellinton Bar in Manor Street is a good boozer too. Right in middle of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 LIKE whatMy king Billy okay Doug, can you please PM me to let me know which boozer you'll be in. I shall avoid it as, based on your other thread, you'll only start a scrap.

Tom Heaney Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 OK folks, Now that I've sussed out the station situation;) Is it fair to assume that going to Falkirk High is best bet for walking distance to some of the bars discussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Other bonus with the Woodside is that there is a bookie directly opposite for those who like a Saturday bet. Our dismal showing there last time was offset slightly by a 9/2 winner in the bumper at Punchestown. Need to get a taxi from there to the game though, and God only knows how to walk back. Ground is a nightmare of a place... 25 minute walk before you hit anything approaching civilisation. Say what you like about Brockville, but at least it was handy! Is that odd Hawaiian boozer still there? Tropics I think it was called. Ended up in there before Scottish Cup rout a few years back. Highlight of day...
