Be better just to buy german pilsners

[MattLeam]

If the person who runs the Flying Swan is watching, this canvas would be ideal for hanging up behind your bar.

Have i imagined this or was something boozy available in the permaculture cafe/garden? (Can't speak for last year as I wasn't there but rings a bell from 2014)

There's the Avalon Inn too, real ale and i have vague memories of a dangerous scrumpy being available last year.

The balcony there is one of the finest bits of Glastonbury, great views out of the nearby area.

of course, but i think everything i have noted is included in the O'Doyles Rules list but i will double check and also look through some other threads.

I imagine lists about beer would be your absolute favorite by a mile:)

Yeah, my name is a bit of a giveaway!  Having only been to V before Glastonbury it was such a relief to have decent beer rather than Carling crap!  And not to have to smuggle booze in in your wellies or down your trousers.  (Not to mention everything else of course).

Edit - that was badly phrased -  I don't mean smuggling everything else in in your trousers, I meant everything else about Glastonbury being so much better!

The bar overlooking the Park is Trickets bar. It had 3-5 ales and some cider too, plus cocktails, and there were new loos up there too. It's ideal for a bevy to then go back to the crow's nest.

The Ridge & Furrow Bar is the best I've been too in recent years.

Normally plays all motown/soul/funk on the times I've been, great little 'secret' cocktail bar hidden inside aswell

[jparx]

I've said it before and i'll say it again - the bar at the top of the Park is mega. That picture just made me that bit more excited!

[danbailey80]

Still dont know where this FLying Swan bar is with amazing lager?

In the cabaret field (or very near), the 'secret' bar is on the inside, on the right hand side through a door in the canopy, 2 or 3 couches in there and small bar.

Anyone recommend a good bar for a decent pint of lager/beer? Tuborg is fucking terrible.

A decent amount of them (rough estimate - about a third, mostly the smaller ones) sell San Miguel.

The one in the Theatre Field had a range of continental lagers last year.

It's very easy to avoid Tubourg these days.

[shuttlep]

what is the beer like in the secret underground piano bar?

Really?  Blimey in 2014 I only found The Beat Hotel selling San Miguel.

[Beerqueen]

I can mentally picture some of the bars I went to but can't for the life of me remember what most of them were called/where they were - apart from the Bimble Inn and the Avalon bar.

Cornish arms sell it too...it's a pretty sad state of affairs when you fall on the discovery of San Miguel in a beer like finding the holy grail lol

Haha this cracked me up! Brilliant

I've always been intrigued by a bandstand type place off of the old train line but never been in, can anyone confirm if this is actually a bar? Has a garden party feel about it, lots of lights..

The Spike - shiny disco ball, does have a bar and some decent tunes finally made a visit last year at night as the shiny disco ball lights are fab!

Thanks for this, on my list for this year. Looks quite chilled out for an hour or two.

Is the Rum Shack still in the late night area? Also I remember very reasonably priced rum-based drinks from Cubana (Glasto Latino?). There was also a new(ish) Rum cocktail place in Silver Hayes last year, near The Blues. The problem with being partial to rum-based drinks is I have no real recollection of where and which year most places I've drunk at actually were!

Had a google and found this cached page which may help if anyone is actually compiling a thingy....
