TOPIC: Magpie pub

Anybody been in on a match day for a few peeves? Is it any good?

Is the lager as good as the fosters in Lloyds?

Not a great place but cheap.

When did it open again?

I think its a belting pub, that deserves to be heaving on match day. Unfortunately it is not passed on matchday when en-route from the city centre. They serve about 8 beers on tap, all Sam Smiths of course, including 3 lagers and a cider. I tend to have the "Indian Ale" in a bottle as the bitters are more in-line with John Smiths and I like hops in my pint. I think its about £1.80 a pint.

I've been in a few Sam Smith's pubs on our Away travels and I just can't get away with their beer,summat about it not to my taste. I'll second the pork scratchings and crisps. I'll try the Indian Ale in a bottle next time now you've mentioned it GB.

Aye ive not tried the bottled ale either..didnt know they did own ale in bottles

They have the full range of bottles. The Indian ale is ok 5%, got a bit of hop bitterness to it - unlike everything else they do labelled "bitter". Although some of the lagers I do like...The Organic 5% one tastes more like a foreign lager and the Taddy Lager is pleasant too..

Sam Smiths is a belting pint here in Manchester better than holts by a mile

you can get a belting pint of dark mild in Sinclair's centre of mancs for £1.40 the lager is good too usually have 3 or 4 there before moving on to the expensve pubs

Didn't have you down as a Sam Smiths man, Mush. There's a Sam Smiths house at the end of our road. £1.83 pint of hand pull. 5 or 6 pints and you know you've had it like...

Can they keep the doylems out?

Didn't go back in after being confronted by some local vermin about being an opposition fan. This was years ago mind.

Shame as I walk past it most home games.

I’ve gone to the Magpie after the Saturday matches since it re-opened, and I don’t live in the area. It has a “real pub” feel and there’s very few of those in Carlisle. The previous owners spent a lot of money on the place and it was sympathetically re-developed. And it has a big log fire which I love.

With Sam Smith’s (which I like) at £1.82 and a couple who are trying to make a go of it I think it’s worth a visit before or after the game

Offered to buy the barmaids a drink,Sorrow said she would have one but Joy wanted two.

Might have a wander down today before the game and sample a few pints

Those next to you in the paddock better expect a few farts then

Spent a good while in there today. Scouse landlord was excellent banter.. although no handpulls .the keg bitter is fine. Hope a few more go in on a matchday.Cheap beer is spot on...no doylems either.

Foxy - do you mean there are no handpulls or there were none today?

Its just keg beer in there.

I think it's a bit forward expecting a handpull off the landlord the first time you've met him. People expect so much for £1.83 these days!
