Your favourite bar at Glastonbury?

[JoeyT]

Love them all to be honest but:

Avalon  Inn - Relaxed and just an all round good vibe. The structure blows my mind every year.

Ridge and Furrow - Decent music. Great outside space with benches for a chill / chat.

Ciderbus - Great meeting point pre and post headliner. Perfect for a hot & spicy as darkness falls and a bit of warmth is required.

Brothers Bar - Don't frequent as much as we once did but it's great to sit here when the sun is shining on weds / thurs. Quite simply a huge beer *cider* garden! 

Spike Bar - Always has some decent tunes and can be a welcome respite from the sun (or the rain!)

[MilkyJoe]

Brothers for me, just because I’ve spent some great times there chatting to randoms and listening to tunes. Honourable mentions to Tricketts and the Cider Bus.

Avalon Inn 100% 

Can't wait to return

Also the one by gate C.

I love these kinds of threads as always find something new! Didn't know there was a bar in Green Crafts, for example, and have never been to the one with the Arcadia viewing platform (I've not really been to Arcadia in its current location, mind).

For me it'd probably be the Avalon Inn as well. It's just a lovely place all round. I used to love Brothers Bar, but my tastebuds are starting to reject the super-sweet stuff these days. Cider Bus is obviously always worth a visit, most days, and I really feel at home when I'm there. Have to give a shout out to Spike too - not an amazing booze selection as just a couple of cocktails, but such a wonderful setting. Had one of my favourite nights of the festival at Steve Davis there last year

Another mention for the Spike here too, lovely atmosphere & music, pretty sure I missed a ‘must see’ back in 2016 because I couldn’t imagine anything being better than my current mood sat in the Spike.Plus it was dry.

Was also nice to see it was still in place on a visit to the site last October too.

This is at Tow & Hitch, which is the Arcadia crew bar - though it is possible (sometimes!) to wander in if you're not crew and the security are distracted.

I sat opposite Steve & a couple of his friends whilst eating in the Greenfields cafe.

Likes a smoke of herb I know that for sure.

Jeez, he's deadpan enough as it is!

[marathonsteve]

Strangely enough  Steve Davis  is doing a dj set in Oxford in a couple of weeks time

[Havors]

Anybody make it to the tipi rave in the tipi village? It has a juice bar attached so im classing it as a bar  brilliant little hidden gem

Nice line-up that! 

[Ollie 1995]

Can't remember the name of it but there was a cocktail bar/bus right at the back of the Shangri-La hell stage

Not on the cheap side but the staff were lovely and the mojito's were absolutely back of the net. One of my favourite afternoons hanging around that bar watching Craig Charles DJ

[shuttlep]

not technically a bar , but I love the Shisha tent at the back of the other stage, nice food, shisha and if you ask they do a lovely Rum cocktail 

[djdavejohnson]

Any shout-out's for bars stocking IPA's? Will be my first time back since 2016 and have since made this somewhat awesome discovery. I wish I'd discovered them sooner, won't go back to just 'normal' beer now!

The Cornish Arms usually has Proper Job, or for your American take on the style there's a place in the Theatre field that does a few different Brooklyn ones. Unconfirmed reports that Tricketts at the top of the Park has some. And of course the real ale place by the Acoustic.

[Penrhos]

Favorite bar --- That's easy, The one right at the front of the Pyramid stage with security stood behind it...

[JayBalls]

Ridge and Furrow and Avalon are one's I've frequented most, doing the crew bar crawl last year with Arcadia, block 9 and shangri la crew bars was pretty special.

Went in there to see Just a Couple of Mums who were very entertaining and found a welcome respite from the rain at the same time.  It felt like a happy little sanctuary.

I wanted to see Just a Couple of Mums there but got the timing wrong.  I stumbled across a great set of Motown and other soul music one year though - brilliant atmosphere.

I also really like chilling with a beer at Srummerville round the fire on a sofa.

And another vote for Avalon Inn though it's not as good as other places for striking up conversations with others if you're on your own.

Was pleased to find the Masons Arms.

And Tricketts early on to take in the view. ( I am right that that's the one above the Park isn't it?)

In fact, I don't think I've really found a bar I don't like yet!

Masons Arms in Green Crafts....couple of good ales, sofas, mirror ball, decks....they were out of beer but pouring £2.50 double G&T's late Sunday night simply cos the guys didn't want to carry it home 

I need to remember this place in 2019 ?
