MattLeam Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 If the person who runs the Flying Swan is watching, this canvas would be ideal for hanging up behind your bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh24 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balcony there is one of the finest bits of Glastonbury, great views out of the nearby area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) 7 hours ago, The other Bellboy said: 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!

Everyone keep adding! This is my 8th Glastonbury and something I would love for future ones Bars at Glastonbury Chameleon Bar Has some fun stuff on the Wednesday and Thursday nights. Bar on the way out of West Holts Friday night Stonebridge Bar In The Park It's a place to see lots of DJs playing lots of different music. Baggy Mondays and Hip Hop Karaoke sessions are found here. Opens Wednesday and DJs and acts on from Thursday till about 3am. Bimble Inn In The Park Unique structure made from cavas and wood, ancient tipi design with a modern twist. The inside is fab, lots of drapes, LED fairy lights at night. Has a full cocktail bar, real ales, local cider and stowford press on tap. Cocktail Bar Between the Circus and Theatre fields 70s disco amongst other things Ridge and Furrow Thursday Cider Bus Off the main market area near the south entrance to the Pyramid Field Rock the Kasbah A Moroccan themed bar located on the main walkway and has lots of rich colours and fabrics, cushioned seating area Chameleon Located in the main walkway It has a multi-coloured ceiling and lots of furniture Usually has resident DJs and closes at 3am Rabbit Hole Located in The Park area.

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.

lukemack Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerqueen Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 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.

joeltg Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltfckimbo Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 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.... http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ywOHQukfWO4J:www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/bars/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
