Bars at Glasto

[benc]

I loved this pub! We sat upstairs (a pub with an upstairs at Glastonbury!?), and had quite a nice view of the folk sitting outside

in '09 did they actually build that bar (Ridge and Furrow) over a period of days during the festival? I seem to recall that it was still being assembled on the Thursday and thought it was some sort of work in progress folky art installation till I walked past and people were drinking there. I suspect I may have dreamt that.

Just read the title of this thread and i thought it was said "Bears at Glasto"

St Austell brewery have their own beer tent now (think its on the main route from Other Stage to Pyramid, might be wrong)

Thats probably the closest to a 'proper' boozer. Lots of good St Austell beers and have tables with bar games painted on.

Well worth a visit. Hope its there again this year

I think you're right! I also seem to recall having walked past there in '09 on the Wednesday and Thursday and they were still building it.

The tiniest bar on site last year was in the Chapel of Bono in Shangri La. There was a chap just selling Guinness from behind a teeny faux Irish bar

Thank gawd for that. I do occasionally have a bit of an issue with what is real and what I've imagined. Today I discovered that I do not, in fact, own a hawk.

After the Mendip District Council report last year I doubt there will be many unlicensed bars this year .

Technically last year there was 16 bars { may have been 18 } that did not comply fully to license law and I doubt MDC will be so forgiven this year - time will tell.

I've run out of plus ones but this made me laugh

[tylerdurden]

Wow, snap! I'm a gay man and I don't like bad weather at Glasto. Not overly keen on the word faggot either.

Definately fancy sitting down for a few pintas this year. It'll be good to get out the scorching sunshine for a bit.

Why? In this instance it's merely shapes on a screen. It's pointless to have taboo language.

[changingman67]

main difference between Glasto and others is that you can bring your own alcohol in and you don't have to buy vouchers - so carry a few tins in, especially for later on when you can't be bothered with the trek back to the bars.

No, actually discrimination and bigotry are very much more than just shapes on a screen.

if someone is feeling nice - tell me about shangri-la. i've been to glastonbury twice now, this is my third and i still haven't been.

tell me how wonderful it is. please please.

[hotwaterbottle]

sorry i can't help about the bars - i've been underage my past two so i have no idea on the bars myself. I'M EIGHTEEN NOW THOUGH - YUM YUM BEER OCLOCK

[muddyslingbax]

Yeah, true. A lad self referentially using the word 'faggot' on an internet forum is nearly the same as a lynching isn't it? Don't know what I was thinking.

[Bradders]

We sat upstairs in The Avalon Inn one year, really liked it. Then we jumped out under pressure from a BBC cameraman to do something that'd look good on a highlight reel... Dunno if it ever got on TV, I've never seen it anyway.

[Strummer74]

The Rocket lounge is a cracking wee bar in Shangri la(i think)

great cocktails and live music.

[Kyelo]

About the 'faggot' thing...

Bars, I just go to whichever one is closest haha

[timmy tugboat]

Was Slippery Dick's Love Shack there last year. Was my favourite place in 2009 someone said it had gone last year

[tylerdurden]

There are so many words he could've used; I'm wondering why he chose to use that one?

I don't know what you were thinking either.

[Spindles]

Any chance of just letting it go?
