What good pubs are there near WHL?

[sim0n]

Pubs I've been in or know about

Corner Pin - good pub, great on matchdays
Bell & Hare - nice pub, shame about the clientele (full of SCers!!!)
Billy Nic - never been in, but allegedly has fit barmaids and a BBQ in good weather
Two Brewers - great atmosphere, but one of the 'hooligan' pubs, sometimes a couple o fit barmaids
The Old Vic - next door to the Brewers, reasonable pub, Claire Tomlinson drinks there

My advice, if we get to Wembley, stay on here, there'll be messages about what pubs in Wembley will be spurs pubs, you'll get a better atmosphere and who knows, someone may have a spare ticket

I've only ever been to the Antwerp and the Bell&Hare, both were fun on gameday at WHL, but not sure on TV access. The places listed above sound good. I looked up Gilpins since I hadn't been there, but then I just read about some place named The Elbow Room on the High Street with Sky and real ale. Has anyone been there? Sounds interesting what I read... maybe it's worth a go?

Many years ago, this place was an early Wetherspoons before they began to take over the world and you can still sense the Wetherspoons brand in the air. They still do decent and cheap beers albeit not on a Spoons scale (plastic glasses on Tottenham match days). Courage Best and Youngs are also available. The pub is fairly small and on Spurs match days can get very busy but I have always found the service acceptable even at its busiest. Overall the pub is fairly cosy and intimate with carpets throughout and several pillars and posts making the place appear smaller. There is a raised area screened off by a low wooden division with a Big Screen and 3 more TV’s are dotted about the pub along with the ubiquitous fruit machines. There is Spurs memorabilia by the bucket load - flags, banners, scarves, photos, programmes etc.

P.S. From what I've read in this thread it sounds like the "atmosphere" in the Bill Nic is worthwhile -- gameday or not :wink:

what do people think of the Bee Hive?

Usually go there as theres usually alot of yids in there but far enough away from WHL to be served easily and it also has sky. A short walk and your in the stadium half cut and not caring for the cold.

I thought the Corner pin was closed down..no ???

Open, and now co-owned (or maybe even entirely owned) by the club I think...

Gilpins Bell is where I go. Nice place although lately they've been putting drinks prices up from Wetherspoons prices on match days which is a bit of a ****.

Went there after the Spartak game. Pretty good and pints are pretty cheap. Met some seriously weird people in there though.

Was in there recently for a night game at 4pm, at 5pm the glasses were put away, out came the plastic cups and the price went up as well.
The moral is, on night games get in there at 11am and by 5pm you`re so pissed it will last all night. Cheap, happy days! :beer:

I went to the Bell and Hare last year for the Cup final, fantastic atmos, loads of singing,I had a great time, Granted the result helped, after the match the whole pub started partying on the high road in the rain, Loved it.
get there early though bcause it gets busy.

Ahhhh Two Brewers forgot its name!

Yup I've been in there too, but it is not a "pub". Don't like it, the guy that owns the place seems like a bit of a dick and the old bill are always about checking that noone is drinking in the street.......

I would avoid here, never been in the one next door to it though.


I think its a shame that the one on the corner nr the Bricklayers (think it was Pitch 'n' Pint at one point) is now a William Hill.

Shut down by the police after somebody didnt cooperate with them after the west ham incident.
Allegedly, your honour.
