After seeing you all enjoy the debate and your favourite tipple at QPR999's superb Stanley Bowles e-bar, I am curious as to where you all enjoy a pre or post match drink on match day before heading to Loftus Road in the real world!? I currently can not enjoy a drink on home matche as I actually work in one of the famous QPR pubs in the Bush and I am obliged to work on every match day!!
Used to be the Crown ans Sceptre or the Conningham.more up market now....British Queen or Black Horse / Railway (G/ford).. Now a days...noormally the Woolloongabba Hotel........
i normally arrive in west12 for pre pint pie n mash (or cafe rest back in the day for a mixed grill)....then the short jaunt to the shepherd n flock for two pints of black velvet and a glimpse of sexy eastern european beer serving wenches...then i make my way circa 1.30 to the springbok for a jostle to the bar fro another two pints of liquid tar!
Always the Crown n Sceptre for me, been going there well over 15 years. Although sadly the previous owners sold up at the end of May... No idea what the new owners are or like...? Stan
Thatched House, Hammersmith. Family tradition, my Dad used to take me there in the 70s, if the club can get its arse in gear and put the season tickets up for sale to members, I'll be taking my boy next year. Course it's not the same as it used to be. Used to be like walking into a diseased lung, now it's far too clean and food oriented.
They were not the owners just managers for the brewery and they retired (for the second time)! New govenors start August 1st, another irish couple...........This kind of gives away where I am obliged to work every match day!!
Ah, good ITK. So if I'm struggling to get to the bar of the C&S as is often the case and shout across 'pint of Pride for Not 606 member' you will no doubt find a way to get me to the front of the queue. Cheers Mortlake!
Normally have a couple at the Betjeman Arms at St Pancras on the way in / out, they do a mean all day breakfast
