croiz Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Ey up all, I had a search and couldn't find any thread similar to this... What's your favourite bar(s)/pub(s), and why? Photos welcome too! I'd like to visit a few more this year... For me it's the Cockmill (but I can't find any photos I've taken). Great beer selection. Very easy to drift in and out from the acoustic tent. Never seen it too rammed and has a chilled 'edge of the site' vibe similar to Strummerville.

tarw Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I think that both of my two favourites have gone now. Rock the Kasbah and copper dollar both great places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) For me, the bread and roses. Good location, decent live music and atmosphere. Not the biggest of bars but plenty outside seats. Edited March 31, 2022 by Ayrshire Chris 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_coholic Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Rock the Kasbah for late night entertainment for me, gutted it has gone. For drinking, Tricketts?? top of the hill and the Avalon Inn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 The beer bus in the Theatre Field (I think) was cheaper than most of the others and had no queue to speak of. Obviously it was just a place to buy beer rather than somewhere to hang out, but suited me a lot of the time in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyseven Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 My favourite bar to get a drink at is the Cider Bus, lovely lovely cider. I don't really hang in bars for the music, i'd rather be seeing bands on the stages or DJs in the Glade/SE Corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePaul Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 There was a new bar in 2019 - The Elephant Bar? Part of the Carling setup but did have a couple of good craft beers on including Brooklyn Defender IPA and Brooklyn lager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Dickfingers Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I’ll always try and go The Avalon Inn on Wednesday I think it’s the best looking bar on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_safc Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Probably a bit of a boring choice but when it's hot...I love a sit down around West Holts with a cider from the Brothers bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulshane Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Upstairs at the Avalon Inn on the wednesday, watching the site fill up. Marvelous stuff 🙂 Edited March 31, 2022 by paulshane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsk...surely the boring choice would be sitting at Mandela waiting for the next act on the Pyramid and yes I have done that numerous times.

al_coholic Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I have compared the overhead maps from 2016 and 2019 and it looks like there is a bar in the place where Rock the Kasbah was both years. so fingers crossed it hasn't gone, unless it has been replaced by something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_c Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Always stop at the beat hotel for a drink, will be interesting to see what replaces it for 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Yes I liked the bustle around the Beat Hotel in the day, plus you could get a pint of San Miguel as treat after having to endure several pints of Carlsberg. It will be interesting to see what they do but I can’t imagine it will be drastically different, I’d imagine they’d want a similar sign for people to sit in and climb all over for a start.

Marvelous stuff 🙂 Yeah, this! We had an amazing 2-3 hours upstairs on the Thursday (I think) last time, whichever day was really hot. Wasn't planned, but we managed to get a table, the air rising upwards cooled us, and just drank & laughed the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Delighted the Beat Hotel is gone. Usually rubbish left everywhere and a real town square in Torremolinos vibe about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
