Best Bars

[O'Doyle Rules]

What are your favourite bars at Glastonbury and why?
 

Near pyramid in 2019 I found a tent playing Irish music after the Cure but have no idea where exactly!

[Glastonlocal]

Mandela bar maybe?

[musky]

Rock the Kasbah on the way to West Holts is always a favourite. It’s all about the cushions!

Nooooo!

I wasn’t there in 2019, is that a new thing for this year or was it missing 3 years ago?

Bugger. 

Now where am I going to get my hit of big comfy cushions!

[Chubby Dude in a Tiny Car]

Avalon Inn is my favourite by some way - can happily spend a long long time there...

also honorable mentions to Bread & Roses and the main bar in the markets that has "BAR" in big wooden letters that serves frozen margaritas

I used to like the beat hotel for its cocktails interested to see its replacement.

Avalon Inn is fave though.

I'm not sure it was there that did cold pimms but I'd like to find that again (not a tory).

I honestly assume San Remo will be almost identical tbh. If anything, Lageritas fit the new brief even better. 

[Joshuwarr]

Doesn’t really count as it’s not like a tent bar but the atmosphere around Brothers on the first two days is always magical 

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Can those that love Avalon Inn explain the appeal pls? I've never frequented this establishment before (only been to festival once before)

I like it because it feels like a proper pub albeit one you might find in lord of the rings. Cosy and friendly atmosphere and good drinks.

It's like a proper pub built of wood with a balcony.  Lovely.  In fact my niece decided it would be a lovely wedding venue.  She didn't even have a boyfriend at the time!

Not at all the same, but Strummerville has comfy sofas and a lovely big fire going throughout the festival.  And a teeny weeny bar and a teeny weeny stage.  I love it up there.

[Cabaret_Tent]

I like the Cornish Arms - decent ales. Avalon is the closest thing to a pub.

Yeah it was gone in 2019 we used to spend hours there. Great place to chill with friends. It seemed all posh and corporate in 2019 and you couldn’t take your own drinks in to sit down.

Spent some happy times dancing like a tit at the Meeting Place bar (that's the one with "BAR").

Love the springy floor in the B&R, made a point of seeing Land Of The Giants when they've played in there.

[balti-pie]

There's a bar in Unfairground that sells those big pint cans of Arbor ales, theyve got 2 or 3 different ones (including a Gluten Free) and theyre deliciously cold and absolutely majestic. For that alone its become my favourite bar

[Mezhyp1]

Bimble for the Guinness 

[al_coholic]

I love the Balcony part of the Avalon Inn. Standing up there, good view of the field and Helter Skelter. Also a bit shady from the Sun. 

[al_coholic]

Rock the Kasbah used to be my favourite. Late night cheesy tunes and singalong after the headliners. Had an amazing night in there after Coldplay in 2016. Been replaced by The Taphouse I think. 

[DareToDibble]

Yeah I loved Kasbah too, shame it went in 2019.

Brothers Bar is always good on a Thursday night, great atmosphere there when they start blasting the music.

Avalon Inn another favourite, great place to go for a couple of drinks between acts!
