Bolton Wanderers FC
Reebok Stadium
Where To Drink
Steve Openshaw recommends the Bromilow Arms;
"from the M61, go past the stadium on your left, move into the right hand filter lane and turn
right at the traffic lights into Lostock Lane, and about half a
mile down on the left is the Bromilow Arms. Good ale, friendly
atmosphere, free car parking. Ten minutes walk away from ground". I
have personally visited this pub on a number of occasions now. Each
time I have been impressed with the warm welcome and the good
mix of home and away fans. The small pub has a country feel, serves
good real ale from the local Bank Top Brewery
and food from a lunchtime snack menu. All in all it was a
gem! Plus if you ask nicely they will also allow
you to leave your car in their car park, while you go off to watch
the match.
There is
also the Beehive Pub near to the ground where you can also park your
car (see below). Otherwise alcohol is served within the ground, although for some games such as
local derbies, the Club opt not to sell any.
Or on my last visit alcohol was available to away supporters before
the game but not at half time, much to the annoyance of the
travelling fans.
There are a number of bars on the nearby
Middlebrook Retail Park (Reebok Stadium is on the Middlebrook
Retail estate). However most of these have bouncers
on the doors that only admit home fans on production of a matchday
or season ticket, There are though
plenty of eating outlets on the Retail Park; KFC, Burger King, Pizza
Hut and a Bolton Wanderers themed McDonalds as well as several other
themed restaurants. Whilst inside the stadium there
is the usual array of pies, rollover hot dogs & burgers on
sale.
