Best Pub or Bar in and around Leicester City Centre

[Guest]

Which gets your vote as the best? Why?

 

I'll add suggestions to the poll as we go along so if your fav isn't there I can add it before you vote.

Western out of those for me. You’ve missed Ale Wagon though which is mentioned on here a lot which is good. Parcel Yard I also think deserves to be on that list and I also quite like Queen of Bradgate when I’m back in town. 
 

Remember The Gateway near De Mont? Gutted I was never old enough to drink in there. Used to go in with my dad before football when I was a kid. Don’t know why this thread has made me think of that. Good memories.

Disappointing lack of TTL.

TTL = TitTies Live?

 

Not many options in Leicester, Birmingham is better

[Strokes]

I’ve not even been to half of them within the last 5 years. I like the Rutland and Derby for a meet up with a few pals.

[Permafrost]

The Blue Boar has just won Leicester pub of the year... third year running.

Only ever been in there once. Was alright but I prefer to beer selection elsewhere.

great news

[Lcfc_lass10]

Quite like the Blue Boar and I’m not surprised it was voted pub of the year. But Rutland and Derby for me. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

R&D for me although I’m not finding it to be as good as it was in the past. Probably comes into its own in the summer as it has a decent outdoor space.

All pretty average sadly.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Spencers.

[Lionator]

Tønne in St Martins is a bit expressive but has a lot of decent craft beers on tap. Really good vibe too.

And that everyone seems upset that you are under the age of 50 when you go for a drink there 

[Voll Blau]

If anyone votes for the Peel or S&R these days they want their head testing.

[Guest MattP]

Queen of Bradgate for a casual drink.

High Cross for a cheap piss up.

Royal Standard for an afternoons racing.

Ale Wagon for an afternoons reading.

Kings Head for a decent beer.

Fountain for karaoke.

Salmon for a decent cider or conversation. (My ancestors owned the pub in the 1850s I've recently found out)

[SemperEadem]

Salmon, Ale Wagon and The Globe are all standouts in Leicester for me.

[Stadt]

Got a lot of time for the Marquis, Lansdowne and Old Horse.

 

Not a huge fan of The Rutland & Derby, bar is usually rammo and it's expensive for what they have.

[Finnegan]

None of the above. 

 

Probably Tonne at the moment, decent beer, never too crowded, decent atmosphere, staff aren't overly snobbish about what they serve, nice location. 

 

Could do with some actual furniture upstairs but still. 

 

Edit: if forced to vote off that list, Kings Head I guess but we probably only go there cos we work near by.

Rutland and Derby is bang average. Arse fell out of the Swan and Rushes when it was refurbed. Havent been in the Western for many years now.

 

The Kings Head is good after the game but pre-match you have to turn up as the doors open to get a seat these days and it's a really awkward pub to stand in when it fills up because of the shape/layout. Good cobs tho.
