Best Bars


O'Doyle Rules

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 🙂

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.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
