Best bars pre-game

Hi lads,
I havent been to parkhead in 3 years, so im excited to be heading back. Hagie's used to be my pre-game spot of choice, so nowadays where's the best place to take in a few of the rebel songs pre-game?

 

Take your pick from most of the bars at the Barra's / Gallowgate.

 

Haggies/Kerry Bar still have a band on I think ( though all the bars are alot quieter than they were 3 years ago.) I think Hoops usually do as well or the Supporters club on London Road will have a band on.

 

Hoops Bar's my favourite one down the Gallowgate. Always a good atmosphere. They'll have the rebs on.

 

For 3pm kick offs go to the CSA on London Road. Mise Eire usually playing before the game and you can pick up all your Green Brigade gear there as well.

 

i prefer the kerrydale suite now to all those places, and your allready in the ground so no problems trying to make kick off, live music aswell, a bit pricey but better all round id say

 

I drink in the Traders. The Sarry is good too.

 

I like the Sarry. Quite often start in there. Was there for the last game but it was pretty much empty so we went over the the Braemar Bar. ( not that, that was much busier)

 

Don't know the name of the one I was in but if u get off the bus and head towards the ticket office keep walkin and its the second pub on the corner was * no rebels and no pints of bud looks great with the memorabilia but

 

London Road Tavern ?

 

Think so if it is it looks a lot bigger on the outside

 

Was regular in the Squirrel for ages, but to be honest you get more or less the same thing in every pub up the Gallowgate. Usually depends who's playing in what pub on the day which is best to go to. Not been in it yet but the Hoops is always jumping when I walk past before and after the game and always has a band on.

 

what time does it open? and when does it tend to be too busy to get in?
I sit in Jock Stein stand so would make sense.

 

Usually drink in Partick before a game but if I'm in the Gallowgate I like the Braemar.

 

Opens about 11am. By about 1pm if ko is at 3pm queues start to form if it's a bigger game.

Only time the Kerrydale isn't open is on CL nights. I think UEFA get use of it on those nights.

 

* UEFA!

 

cheers man. I don't normally get up till about 2. But if I ever do get up early enough I must try it.

 

if you have time, Brazenhead in gorbals, I used to work there, they run a bus too and from parkhead too, live band usually gary og from eire og before and after kickoff sometimes good young guy called connor kelly too

 

Connor Kelly was playing in Hoops yesterday. Anybody know why Haggies (Kerry Bar) was shut yesterday ?

 

It said on there Facebook page it was shutting down due to a difficult landlord
