Best Bars

Can you get a Margarita anywhere on site?

[Smeble]

Which ever one is nearest when I want a drink. 

[Boilingtent]

is there a last order time across the site? Usually end up walking up to closed bars in the early morning!

Pretty sure Stonebridge were doing frozen margs last time

Bimble has always been a favourite

I used to also love the counter in the park that sold the park T-shirts and other park stuff, they used to do "cheap" rum and cokes/dark and stormy's - only 2014-2016 I think - years since then they never served booze, I have a sneaky suspicion they were never supposed to be selling booze and the guys were operating "under the counter" drinks sales - as I recall asking in 2017 and they just laughed and said uhhhh - we aren't selling drinks this year 😄

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

Really that’s sounds great never found that before although to be honest I’m not normally drinking much by the time I get to those fields

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

Yeah BAR is a cracking one, always good music too

At Green Man last year there was a bar doing fresh Bloody Marys - massive queue every morning but so worth it. Where am I best of looking for the same thing at Glasto next week? San Remo?

That place was amazing and certainly sorted me out a couple of times! 

I'm taking vodka and cans of tomato juice with the other ingredients in to Glastonbury.

There's definitely a place in T&C that does a phenomenonal Bloody Mary but might be a bit out of the way depending on where you are.

The Tree Cafe in the Park had a hatch on the side selling Bloody Marys out of it for a number of years.  But not sure if it's going to be there this year.

Love stopping in at Brother's Bar after the main acts have finished for the bangers!

I've just picked up a bottle of Cox's Bloody Mary spicer and plan on adding that (apparently only one tsp!) to tomato juice and voddy. Decided that was better than decanting a load of big tom bottles.

Just tried one of those BLOODY drinks (canned bloody mary) and it was pretty good. Would recommend for any lazy BM fans, I picked mine up from Sainsbury’s.

+1 for the BAR by Meeting Place. Frozen Margaritas and usually some good pop/cheese being played in the middle of the day. People dancing on tables etc, great fun!

Thanks and thanks. I'll keep my eyes peeled for both of these!

Did try one of those pre-mixed cans on my way to the airport recently but (obviously) it's just not the same as made fresh. If I bump into Zeppelin or Rosie I'll ask you for a fresh one too 🙂 

[FuzzyDunlop]

If you can get in... Maceos during the day.

Easy to get served, somewhere to get some shade too. 

I like the Cider bus & the real ale bar at the Acoustic too. Cornish Arms... plus whats the one near the west holts? Iguana?

[squirrelarmy]

Definitely another +1 for Avalon. 
 

Has it been built yet this year?

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Don’t see the appeal of Brothers myself.... don’t they solely sell very sweet, very sickly, strong fruit ciders? Also.... whenever I’m there during the day, the place seems surrounded by loud and boisterous young lads. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not really my vibe now, as I’ve become an old fart. If I’m in West Holts area, West Holts Bar, or the cut through to Ridge & Furrow are better options I think.

Note: West Holts Bar is a great spot to people watch the antics of said young lads at Brothers from. Whilst tutting and shaking my head.
