I take it the Hermitage has now closed - used to park there and take the long walk to the game - sometimes after the game a few players would come in after the game ... most pubs are going now - sad......
I've never had a really good Guinness outside of Ireland. I look forward to it when I head home. Anywhere else I've tried it, it's usually just okay or terrible. Like a different drink.
whats the one on county road about level with the Gwladys St end, Ive been there a few times and I can never remember its name, its an odd name and I don't think its on your list.
Anyway that's my favourite for a pre/post match pint, get serve quick, sky sports, £2.50 for a carling, nice...then I can dart straight to my seat in the LGS without having to delve through most of the crowds
Thomas Frost because of the size, and proximity to Goodison, can get a pint quickly on match day and sometimes even a set. the brick is a hot mess on match day.
