Boro pubs and Parking info

Just a few places to use or avoid to help you when you come to Boro.

Pubs to use.Nearest ground first.
Doc Browns, away fan pub nowadays but good mix of both sets of
fans. Police normally have a van and horses outside just incase,
sometimes allow drinking on the pedestrianised street in front. 10 mins
to ground.
Food shops opposite, chips, pizza, hot beef buns etc and Mcdonalds,
Subway and Pizza Hut opposite over main road with a Nandos under the
cinema complex.
Ironopolis Workies
Typical workmens club, allows away fans in , normally families on match days. 10 mins to ground.
Square One
Small pub, allows drinking outside, kids welcome. 15 mins to ground.

Pacific, Central, Hairy Lemon. away fans welcome but do get packed, 15 mins to ground. (Pacific is shut at moment)

Baracuda,Walkabout allow away fans in.20 mins to ground.
Other pubs further into town as well but walk gets longer.

Station area
Bridge Hotel outside station does allow away fans but is only small and gets packed with the Boro fans of the harder persuasion.
Lord Byron new pub a bit further along from the Bridge. Brand new pub, only small but does food on matchdays.

Pubs outside the main station gates, Zetland, Last Orders and Gilzeans (or whatever they have renamed it are best avaoided. Old Frontine Pubs and general low life red light area.
Issac Wison, Wetherspoons pub and normally ok but 20 mins walk.

Navigation Pub next to ground by railway crossing is a home pub only
and doorstaff strict,big and hard(ask West Ham)typical old fashoned
pub, small and packed.


Parking
Big car park near to Doc Browns area, France Street camera patrolled and normally free on a saturday and night games.
Do not park in the cinema or Mcdonalds area car park as they clamp cars for staying over the 2 hours.
Off street parking available near doc browns as well with ticket machines all over the place.
Big car parks near the ground on industrial land, normally about £4 a go.

Train station ,there are 2 ways to the ground,looks closer than it is from Platform 2.
Down steps from platform 2 turn right, out of glas doors and turn right. Down to junction.
THEN
Straight to Ground cross over road and down pedestrianised pathways past Bridge and Lord Byron pubs, to junction and bear right ,takes you all way to ground,about 10 minute walk.

Via the pubs turn right at junction and under bridge,up road through lights and pubs on left and right. Upto next lights (pubs in front, left and right)At Town Hall lights turn left, pubs on left, down to Doc Browns and Traffic Light Controlled Crossing. Over crossing,take road between cinema and Mcdonalds to underpass on left, through underpass and follow road past food vans to next underpass on left, through and turn right and ground is in front of you.

Enjoy your day up here.

Pretty much spot on there Thornaby.

Would also add although a little furter afield The Star on Southfield Road (near University). Decent beer and food available.Real ale outlet one of only two in Boro mentioned in Good Beer Guide ( the other being Isaac wilson).

Probably about 20 mins from ground but away fan friendly and decent.

If you are around the town You could try the Resolution (Lloyds) In Captain Cooks Square. This is just between Linthorpe Road and Corporation Road which would make it easy to get to the ground.This is
another Wetherspoons pub and food is available.

Personally if I were an away fan I'd avoid the Bridge and any pubs around there.

Excellent work but I would suggest you 'Sticky' it before some drunken cock edits it!

Out of all the car parks you have told us about whats the easyest to get away from

The big car parks next to the Cinemas and Mcdonalds. Not the one at macs or cinema as they clam as soon as they see you going to the game.
I will put full deatils up on Sunday for you. Directions from A66 etc.
Only problems you have is waiting for the crowds to get through the first underpass.May have a 5 minute queue at least.

This is the nearest free car park to the ground. http://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/ccm/content/transport-and-streets/3parking/1car-parks/town-centre-car-parks.en?page=13#internalSection1
