Cov Night Out

[edgy]

After some recommendations for a night out in Cov.

Crowd of 40 somethings heading over on the train on a Friday afternoon evening. And then leaving on the last train home.

Where do we go? Earlsdon or City Centre?

Would like to visit a fair few different places. Entertainment, Live music maybe. Decent beers.

 

[rob9872]

Dhillons, then Wheatsheaf, Sky Blue Tavern, Heat

 

[Tommo1993]

Haven’t been out out for years but only heard bad things about town recently. Last time out we did the Earlsdon crawl and we had a pretty good time.

Just a shame that in general I think Earlsdon is full of cunts.

 

[LastGarrison]

Craven Street might be a good call.

What pubs in that crawl Tommo?

What pubs in that crawl Tommo?

You’ve got the 4 pubs down Craven St, and there’s The Nursery Tavern down Lord St off Craven St. If you start at the Four P’s and end at the Chestnut that leaves you closer to the Old Clarence. Depending on how much walking you’re happy with you could go to City Arms from there, I can’t think of the pub name up the high street across the road from Millsy’s. Down the opposite way from City arms is The Albany which has live music most of the time. Four P’s has always been pretty quiet earlier in the night.

By this time we’re usually half cut and end up in the aardvark and town and it’s a bit sketchy from there. I’ve never been to the dyers arms down Spon End.

I think you're visiting the wrong city

The Royal Oak is the one opposite Millsys

 

[Tommo1993]

The old oak?

Royal, Wingy. Royal!

 

[wingy]

Royal, Wingy. Royal!

Sorry yeah it was called that originally when I used to drink, when it was facelifted they dropped the Royal.

 

[edgy]

Is there anything worth it down Spon Street anymore?

Was thinking something like Sky Blue Tav, Spon Street then through towards Cosy Club, Golden Cross etc

 

[CCfC2023]

Cosy Club always seems dead with very few ppl in there around 10-30 or later . Golden Cross is good safe choice . The Yard is fun and open very late if thats your thing .

The old windmill is nice

 

[edgy]

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Yes and there's a nice Mexican restaurant futher down called Selminas

 

[johnwillomagic]

Thought I'd read that the Nursery Tavern had closed a while back? Happy to be disabused.

Right you are. Couple of years ago by the looks. Shows how recently I’ve been out.

Thought perhaps I'd imagined it. Sad though as I used to love that place.

You've got the Town Wall Tavern round the corner and the Town Crier on Corporation St for live bands

 

[AOM]

Can't go wrong with a Craven Street crawl. Start from the top and the bottom of the road leads towards town.
Hops d'Amour in town is pretty good for beer, although I've not been there for a while.

I find Kenilworth and Leamington are better for pubs and bars than Coventry really

Then onto The Stag, Philip Larkin, Cov Cross and finishing off in Down Town.

Kenilworth has a fair few pubs/bars down one street right? Amy recommendations?

 

[edgy]

What's The Aardvark like? Seems a logical one from the Station.

 

[AOM]

The Engine on the outskirts of Kenilworth is good (think it might be a CCFC pub). You could then walk into town past the Royal Oak and Wyandotte, and you've got Abbey Field and Virgin & Castle at the top of the hill

 

[edgy]

Can/wouldyou walk through Lower Precinct>Upper Precinct>Broadgate in the evening?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Can/wouldyou walk through Lower Precinct>Upper Precinct>Broadgate in the evening?

Yep to both

 

[edgy]

So our route after arriving at Cov Station is:

The Aadvark
Sky Blue Tavern
Old Windmill
Cosy Club
Golden Cross
Earl of Mercia
Castle Grounds

Any thoughts?

Only that you'll need to have a couple in each otherwise you're only having 7 beers.

Would add the Phoenix onto that list, could probably put between the last two.

I think you'll never make it to your intended destination, maybe half way.

We're having 2 or 3 on Nuneaton before we get on the train!

We are never making it the distance
