rabbit Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 You've got plenty of choice sirmatty. Depends what sort of places you're after - there's the usual Wetherspoons, Yates, Hogshead stylie places, flasher yachtie places on the quay, and your traditional pubs every 50-100 yards from the middle of the High Street down to the quay. Or if you're not fussed about walking more than you have to there's the George near the roundabout by the stadium or Chillis wine bar about 100 yards round the corner. One thing you never have problems with in Poole is doing a pub crawl... If you're at the Premier Lodge it's about a mile and half from Poole town centre and the stadium just to warn you in case you were thinking of staggering back!

Zetters Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Isn´t the best place to stay on after the meeting at the "disco" in the bar at the stadium there Paul Mcrow playing cd:s? I hope He still does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 or Chillis wine bar about 100 yards round the corner. They re-name it and call it a wine bar but I still wouldn't go there As Rabs mentioned, there are plenty of pubs, but don't expect any more than that - if you want drinking into the early hours of the morn then Bournemouth is the only way to go I reckon the suggestion by Zetters to stay in the stadium might well be a good shout.

SuzieQ Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Isn´t the best place to stay on after the meeting at the "disco" in the bar at the stadium there Paul Mcrow playing cd:s? I hope He still does it? Sorry Zetters but Paul is no longer the DJ at the stadium after the meetings! We now have some complete muppet (alledgedly a friend of Matts) that has the charisma of a dead frog...........! And I must add it is not just me that feels this way about him. Paul is on holiday in Scotland at the moment, originally he was going to cut short his holiday to be back in Poole for the Thursday to do the disco in the bar but now he is enjoying himself for 2 long weeks with me updating him on the SWC via text!

madame muck Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 There is a bar extension Thursday and Saturday nights til 1.00am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 If it's any help to people coming down to the area I can put together a list of the decent pubs and different types/best eating places in Poole and how to get to them from the stadium. Might save some time even if people are just coming down early in the day. Let me know and I'll put something tgether. Think it was a wasted opportunity in this weeks Speedway Star not to actually help out the people coming down to Eastie and Poole with some info!

gooner_girl4eva Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 There is a bar extension Thursday and Saturday nights til 1.00am. So does this mean the bar at Poole stadium will open to regular fans after both Thurs & Sat meetings because during the match its for hospitality only isn't it??

rabbit Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 (edited) OK so eating places and watering holes. Here goes…if anyone else knows of any good ones I’ve missed out just add them. This is by no means an exhaustive list! I’ll do the list starting from the stadium and getting further away. Makes it easier to think of. If you leave the stadium, turn right and head past the Barclays building (the big monstrosity) and walk towards the big roundabout you’ll see the George pub on your left. Traditional pub but not a great deal of room although you can sit outside and inhaled the exhaust fumes. Chilli’s – bar and Mexican food. From the George cross the roundabout to the NatWest bank and take a right. Chilli’s is about 100yds walk past the rows of shops. KFC – dead opposite Chilli’s. The KFC is close to the bus station which has a few food places (chippie etc) Lighthouse Arts Centre - next door to Chilli's– has a couple of café’s inside and out. Dolphin Shopping Centre. Not much in here other than a decent sandwich bar opposite Littlewoods (if you walk past the KFC and head back towards the stadium there’s an entrance to the Centre by B&R textiles – Mixed Fillings in just inside opposite Littlewoods. Can recommend the Indonesian Chicken! Go through the Shopping Centre following signs for the High Street for everywhere else. Go through Falkland Square, over the railway crossing and keep walking! First stop – Burger King on your right just before the road cuts across the High Street. Lord Wimborne – Wetherspoons pub. Decent eating place and likely to be child friendly. Directly opposite MacDonalds is the entrance to Sainsbury’s – go up here and the pub is on your right. Usually busy with shoppers but is pretty big. The Rising Sun – Thai / Oriental. Go past MacDonald’s and over the road crossing. On your right is a church – there’s an alleyway on the left side of the building. Go down here and the Rising Sun is on the right. Not that cheap but really good food. Seats outside and very nice place. Can get busy with us office workers at lunchtimes! Back on the High Street and a couple of buildings down from the church is MacDonalds on the right. Further down the High Street – Yates pub on the left. Gets very busy in the evenings. Food during the day and not bad. Another pub opposite – not sure what it is – Old Harry maybe. Not one I usually go in so don’t blame me if there’s sawdust on the floor. Tandoori Nights – Indian funnily enough. Again further down the High Street on the left. Firm favourite on a drinking session. Then quite a gap – carry on down to the end of the High Street and cross the road into the Old Town. The Hogshead should be right in front of you. Alcatraz – Italian restaurant opposite the Hogshead.Very good food but also gets pretty busy. Taj Mahal – Indian - next door. Again good choice and another on the night out route. Carry on past the Hogshead and there’s a few seafood and French restaurants along the road on the right, and Kebab and Chicken places on the left. Follow the road round and you’re on the Quay. Plenty of pubs and eating places along here with seats outside, including the Jazz Cafe and I think there's a big Brewer's Fayre place for families. LaLupas – Italian restaurant. On the right handside of the Quay if you come from the High Street. Las Magueritas – cheap and cheerful Mexican – again on the right hand end of the Quay. Oysters on the Quay – new bar heading left as you leave the High Street. If you keep going left towards the Dolphin Quays (the big apartment complex – you won’t miss it ) there’s chip bars and seafood outlets. I know I’ve missed a few and there’s more hidden away down side streets but hope that’s a help. Will confirm some of the pub names – it’s all usually a bit hazy by the time I get that far down the High Street on a night out!! Any questions – just yell!

SNoB147 Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 (edited) Have seen Tony Ricko in the OFF SHORE when he has been in Poole, very quiet think he likes that, and just a stone throw from the quay Anywhere on the quay if team GB win it, it will be mad and one hell of a party. GOOD LUCK TEAM GB Edited August 2, 2004 by SNoB147 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
