Guest alex Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It's out of the city centre-ish but there's pubs (and restaurants) at the venue itself - a set-up not unlike The Gate in the Toon. If you fancied a drink in the city centre itself a taxi to the Odyssey would cost very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geordie01 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 yeh couple of bars in odyssey might be showing it but like the gate theyd be lacking in any type of atmosphere. the bridge house in the city centre would be decent or auntie annies accross the road.

Decky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Odyssey is like a 10 minute walk from the city centre, there are plenty of pubs in the city centre worth going to but some are quiet rough although they may be slightly out of the centre, theres a nice wee bar in the Odyssey as soon as you walk in, pretty sure it does footy, about 99% sure there was a big sign in the window last time i was there.

Guest andyc90 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 If you go into the Odyessy, the first bar on your right (Rockies) is a sports bar. So I would imagine that would have it on. Taxi into the city centre is very little about (£3). If you looking for a one that has atmosphere, when we played Liverpool last season at home, we went to 'The Botanic Inn' (http://www.thebotanicinn.com/index.asp) to watch at it and it was great.

Belfast Boy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Always found 'The Beaten Docket', opposite the Europa Hotel to have a few Geordies in it when the match is on. Has had a reputation as a 'no go' bar for us English in the past but I have never had any trouble in there. But to be honest, you would be just as well sticking with Rockies in The Oddessy giving the late kick off. Who are you going to see? Springsteen I take it?

Springsteen I take it? got it in one mate, off to see the boss. yeah its most likely we'll just watch it in an arena bar if its on there, almost too good to be true though, something must be up, lets hope its not the result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd only run into a problem if it wasn't on Sky or Setanta. But, if you want any kind of atmosphere, you'd be best to go to the Bot (Botanic Inn). Was where I'd always go to watch the footy when I was at Uni in Belfast. Had some good nights in there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
