You’d probably be better off by being friendly and asking nicely. As someone pointed out in the past, these are regular bars that want to make a profit at the end of the day. Just don’t expect to blag entry at peak times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benc Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I only worked one year and popped into a crew bar on the Tuesday night, and didn't bother Wednesday onwards.. mostly because there was so much other stuff going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyseven Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 It's nice to be able to go into crew bars but it's not something i'd worry about if I didn't have access. You're not missing much by not getting in, there's much better stuff to see/do outside of the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several will be open now, a friend of mine is camped in the T&C area doing part of the site build, I expect the Green Room is up and running in some manner.

I used that place a few times in 2019 to have a twenty minute chill from the crowds. Like it and the location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyleen Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Best perk of volunteering with Oxfam was access to the crew bars. We managed to get in everywhere with our wristbands...even acoustic crew bar. Great fun and Tow & Hitch was a fab place to step off the crowded path for a bit. Got tickets this year and will miss crew bar access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to meet up this year, pre festival. I came looking for the binnies compound but couldn't find it. Can we make a plan say on Monday? If you're not still painting that is xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyseven Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 No Green Room Bar for the 2023 festival. Being replaced by 'Plumbleys' and run by a different group of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milocat Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Anyone know which crew bar opens first. Tow and Hitch always seems to be being built even on Wednesday. Acoustic also - but they seem to let you in even though its not finished. Think it may be Maceos. Are there any up and running as early as the Sunday before? Dont think any of the main bars open until at least Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t they partially flooded in 2016 up until the start of the festival? And then the next year it moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Not that I ever went in to this crew bar but sharing for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 They’re traditionally a bit mean at t+c, I have a few mates camping there and they’ve never let us in for a beer - won’t hand out guest wristbands etc, even if you ask mon or tues before the festival. Not sure it’ll change much with a different bar, but we’ll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
