Hospitality & Doncaster Pubs

[rich1471]

I go in the hospitality from time to time , I like the bar with proper glasses and also padded seat on halfway line , also sometimes takes ages to get served if you want a half-time pint in the concourses , as for pubs for people in 40s , Doncaster as a reputation of having a good nightlife and also day drinking . If I was getting the train in I would cross the busy road outside the railway station and there is the plough and tut and shive . Then would walk upto the black bull around the market , then maybe have one in the old wool market which as loads of street food stalls and live music , then onto the red lion just on the other side of the market , then work my way up hall gate , Yorkshire grey then hall cross and then salutation, then 15 min walk to ground . Could stop off at The Hyde park club midway so the walk isn’t as long , however this is an old working men’s club so don’t expect anything fancy with that one .

.... more like 10 minutes by ambulance to DRI for a stomach pump after that lot!

 

you would have to start drinking at 9 am to get that lot in

And that's just before the game

[glasgowRobby]

Nightclubs that have a mixed crowd for very late?

The Social is probably your best bet.

Most pubs in Donny are Nightclubs especially around the Silver Street area

Well predicted Glasgow Robby!

Hope they had a good night, but let’s be honest the town centre is an absolute dump. The ‘nightlife’ is full of chavy 20 and 30 year olds wanting a tear up and there’s very little for the 40+ generation to have a nice drink.

Thats why most of the 40+ folk go out in the afternoon

I respectfully think you are completely wrong on numerous points here.

That’s fine, it’s allowed. But you can’t say it’s wrong without offering nothing back in challenge?

I'm definitely 40+, and there's plenty of places to have a nice drink

As has been said earlier in the thread, plenty of places for the grown ups to drink around the Wool Market area.

I also don’t agree town is full of chavvy 20 and 30 year olds wanting a tear up. Admittedly I don’t go out like I used to but hardly ever saw trouble, I don’t think the youth go out drinking as much these days either so town isn’t full of them.

Always provide feedback.

Game/Ground 1st

Good wee atmosphere was in probably your main stand where players come out.  Was sitting next to a guy with his son had a good chat.  Beer & chips at 1/2 time bit of a wait but fine.  Game wise first 20 mins anybodys Carlisle missed a good chance that could have made a difference.  Only one winner when Donny scored.  Had £40 between us on 3-0 so happy days.

Nights out

Friday was fairly quiet - early doors 5.30 started in Lord Nelson played pool with 4 regulars ( were pish players but not too happy getting pumped every game ) then went onto Angel & Royal met a few members of the DONNY Rangers supporters club so had a good chat.  Both ok pubs.  Chicken & Chips and then back to hotel to get changed.

As said most pubs were quiet started in Biscuit Billys ( you send to go !! ) was very busy and decent beer.  Went to Lazarus court ended up in amongst the youngsters - a tear up out of no where with 2 guys who had been sitting next to each other and talking for 30 mins - bouncers bolted 2 out.  No issues we were not involved.  Irish Bar ( we did visit ) was busy although r&b tunes not to our taste.  Walked around visited 2 more.  12ish we tried Flares - asked bouncer if it was busy he told us not to go in as it was dead had a good chat with the guy said come back tomorrow.

Saturday walked up had a couple of beers in Yorkshire Grey watched footie.  Decided to walk and asked a fan where best place to have a beer.  Ended up taking us to a social club it was similar to our bowling club so great stop off.

After game the Rangers game was kicking off at 5.30 so walked back to Yorkshire Grey who had told us they would be showing game earlier on.  As racing was on was heaving - game not on asked at bar and they said it was too busy to show 2 games ( fa cup game was on ) - remembered there was a sports bar next to Biscuits and went in.  Asked bar guy if he would put game on and it was not an issue.  Watched our riot of a game in there.

After RFC game walked up to The Lockwood - completely mental busy.  Best bar of week.  Probably because it was full of drunk randy 40s 50 year olds  and was a Ska fest.  Stayed in there until it started to die away about 10.  Pizza home out at 11.

Started at Biscuits was busy, racing crowd had left the town so quiter - ended up in Social caught end act - was busy.  Headed to Reflex wanted £6 to get in- bouncer from night before let us in free.  Menatlly there rave act called N Trance playing live - so was a squad of people in.  Did not stay that long.  Back to Biscuits as only place that was busy - left at 2 and up road.

All in all great trip will return but we really fancy a Friday night game or 12.30 kick off

That sounds about right!

I went reluctantly the other Saturday for a friends head wetting. Been a while since I’ve been out ant night and as others have said, afternoons are marginally better. Apart from that new Irish bar and a couple of others in between i couldn’t believe how dead it was. The only other lasting memory was people chundering in streets and trying to work out where might be even remotely civilized for a bunch of blokes 40+.

Stand by the original comment though - it’s largely a dump with a bunch of run down pubs or overly chavy bars. Definitely not in a hurry to return

glasgowRobbie, we were in the Angel, I heard a Glaswegian twang when I was at the bar, I was going to mention your post on here but it would have meant that my wife wouldn’t be pleased if I abandoned her for a half hour if I got chatting.
As for the Donny rangers fan, he once confronted me because I replied that I was from the green side of Glasgow, he was due in court for being offensive and singing secatarian chants, so I now avoid him when he’s in the angel because I can’t be arsed with his abuse .
I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay in Doncaster.
I had a great weekend in Glasgow last December, I managed to get a ticket for the Hampden Celtic Vs Rangers league cup final and witness a 15 goal thriller.
