Taps was the best pub in Leicester, pre-match or not.

 

It’s a tragedy that’s gone, The Swan as well.

Taps was so overrated.

Cricket club because I park there, and I’m old and boring and rarely drink nowadays 

[Bourbon Fox]

I really struggle with this.

I’m a member, I live in Nottingham and when I get a ticket I’m going ‘on me one’.

I want a boozer where I can sing a few songs and get that feeling of walking down to the ground mobbed up, singing and making some noise before the game. Seems like in the Filbert Street days that just happened but nowadays you have to seek it out.

Where should I go if I want to sing, drink and be merry?

A bloke on Bentleys Roof mentioned his mate has taken over the Swan and it will be reopening in a few weeks time.

I’ve heard a few Indian lads have bought it and turning it into a sports bar.

 

They already own a couple of other pubs, The Broadway and a sports bar in Oadby. The Oadby place has been a really good success serving cracking food and reasonable prices on the beer.

The Broadway has only just recently reopened.

Yes it has.

Will be interesting to see if they try and mould it into a sport bar type place, or if they look to retain character. Will be great to have it back either way!

every time

[stripeyfox]

If I'm with my son and get there early we go in the 1884 Bar at the Stadium. Grab a sofa, get some drinks, watch the footy and my lad can sit and mess around on his phone.

 

Was in there earlier this season (forget which game) - it was a cold horrible day and I did wonder if you are allowed to stay in there and watch the game on TV rather than going in the stadium!

[Claridge]

and what happens at the Blue Oyster bar?

Expect nice food and cheap booze then. Though if they are putting on what they have in their other pubs it will be coors, carling, estrella, cobra.

If they serve Estrella on tap I’m all for them!

[Voll Blau]

Happy to see it opening again. Would've been a crying shame if it'd stopped being a boozer again for good.

Can be so hit and miss in this country though. Ace in Barca mind, and nice enough in bottles here. Sounds like these lads are experienced so hopefully all tastes OK.

I went Barca last year for the first time. That’s where my love for it comes from so you got me there! My favourite pubs are Everards, love a pint of their Tiger. 

Brill news about The Swan. Miss the sight of City fans drinking en masse out front match day.
