places to drink : Tue Mar 31, 2009 12:24 pm  

Hi to all you Huddersfield fans.
I am coming up for the Celtic game in 2 weeks time and was wondering which are the best pubs to go for a drink before and after the game?
I am staying in the George Hotel so some good pubs within falling into bed distance would be much appreciated.

theres 2 nice drinkeries in the square where your staying - the head of steam and the other used to be the station tavern not sure what it is now, they're either side of the train station.

further along theres a wetherspoons (cherry tree) or the main bar areas in town are around King Street (Kingsgate shopping centre).

There's plenty of other pubs and bars dotted around though !

As Daz said, you are close to a few good places

Head of Steam is a real ale pub and has a wide mix of people in it

Cherrytree is as weatherspoons.

Behind Cherry Tree is a bar called Vox wich is a decent place, wide mix of people and more a premium beer place (huge, huge selection of spirits)

If you dont mind a shortish walk there is a superb real ale pub called The Grove at Springwood (easy directions from the George.)

Get yourself into the Heritage centre too - it's in the Hotel.

I'm not church or chapel, I'm pure lager and the more the merrier.

Deffo check out the grove then - more lagers than you can drink in a night.

Take some protection if you are coming out of there late.

Why? Never had any bother at all

More trouble down the bottom end of town to be honest.
