Pubs for Wembley

[Mr.Swainey]

Useful recommendation if anyone wants a few beers without it being too packed as everyone turns right out of the station (and they even hand around free sandwiches and roast potato's).

Flannery's bar. Turn left out of Wembley central station and walk about 3/5 minutes and it's on the opposite side of the road. Also a decent place to walk back to for a beer to let the crowds getting home die down.

God, these Irish bars ruining our culture. How do you cope in there, Kes?

Have we decided where we're drinking then?

I'm buying my beer in Sainsburys and carrying it around in a plastic bag all day.

I'm sure the bouncers will be fine with me doing that, won't they?

Just wear a tight top and they won't dare say a word.

Designated pubs list being finalised and will be announced in the next day or so – this won’t specifically list kid-friendly pubs, it is advised pubs with gardens are best for those with kids. Also, bars at the London Designer Outlet are likely to be suitable for kids. There is also "mixed-zone" drinking at the London Designer Outlet.

The official list of designated pubs for Reading Supporters, in the East side of Wembley is:

The Torch, 1 - 5 Bridge Road, Wembley, HA9 9AB

Crock of Gold, 23 Bridge Road, Wembley, HA9 9AB

Moore Spice, Wembley Retail Park, Unit 2, Engineers Way, HA9 0EH

Watkins Folly, 1 Empire Way, Wembley, HA9 0EW

Blue Check Café, 12 - 13 Empire Way, Wembley, HA9 0RQ

Crystal Club (Silverspoon), South Way, Wembley

The Parish, 120 Wembley Park Drive, Wembley, HA9 8HP

First Class Sports Bar, 125 Wembley Park Drive, HA9 8HG

The Wembley Tavern, 121 Wembley Park Drive, HA9 8HG

Flyers Last Stand (Cheers Bar), 45 Blackbird Hill, NW9 8RS

The area around Wembley is a "Controlled Drinking Zone" – it is an offence to have open-containers of alcohol in this zone. They will be confiscated plus risk of arrest.

Pubs and off-licences will not serve alcohol later than 1 hour before match kick-off. This is an absolutely strict condition of their licences. Pubs will serve only in plastic glasses – a condition of licence, but many publicans prefer this as they can’t wash glasses fast enough. Similarly, off-licenses will only sell cans – no bottles.

Alcohol will be served in Wembley Stadium from 2 hours before kick-off.

Was thinking of trying the torch, but one of the reviews says it's £9 for a pint. Da fcuk?

[North Somerset Royal]

Thinking of the Crystal Club which at least is near WS station. Anyone know what it's like?

[semtex1871]

We'll be heading to Moore Spice or Crystal Club......

Went to Moore Spice before rugby league final - hope their bar service is better than then!

[Pepe the Horseman]

Think we're settling for Crystal Club as nowhere seems to have a garden.

[Royal Lady]

There's a small outside space at our place - which I use for smoking natch.

Might just stock up in the off licence and then drink them in The Torch beer garden. Doubt they charge £9 as no idiot would be prepared to pay that but wouldn't be surprised if all the bars put up their prices when Wembley has a big event.

Saw plenty of Bayern and Dortmund fans drinking on the streets before the Champions League final, not sure how the police can enforce it when 90,000 people are there. Think it might be enforced just outside the ground.
