Isn’t this inside the main entrance to the left hand side (just before the escalators)?

Think it's a bit further down after the escalators. Mainly because The Mill Bar is where you are thinking and the club have sold memberships in there.

This is opposite the entrance to the exhibition halls I think.

There is also a Dhillons bar trailer outside the ground and a kiosk somewhere in the concourse.

Ah yes that’s the place I was thinking of. Wasn’t sure if it was replacing it or not. Plenty of options in and around now which is good. Wasn’t long ago we didn’t even have a burger van outside

Same price as the other bars, just like last season.

They say that this is through the main entrance and it was the former Purity bar. I don’t know where exactly that bar was?

Can the normal lot get in or is it just corporate?

I sat in there today (not for a beer unfortunately) - it’s the opposite end to the main entrance (i.e. by the casino) on the left hand side.

Wonder if they have done anything with the Club Coventry lounge or does it still look like the lobby of the Daventry TrustHouseForte in 1992?

Yep, agree, their beer is shite....never keeps it head, tatses flat and thats just thier real ales.

Compared to Byatts beer it's just crap and I really wanted to support a local brewery like Dhillons, very unfortunate, I wonder if they have took thier eye off the ball and not concentrating on the ale but instaed going all out for big profits instead!?

Their bars are all over the city, such a shame, as I love local brewers, especially byatts where their beer is fookin lovely and very well, reseonably priced to boot.

They sell their lager for 3 quid in the Tav and it's still a rip off

Twisted Barrel beer is much better than Dhillons. Byatts is too. I think the difference is that Dhillons is primarily a retailer that brews some of its own so is more interested in this sort of endeavour.

Everyone I know avoids it.

Either way though it’s a good move for them and the club.

so once you've done Twisted Barrel and Byatts before rocking up at Dhillons pre-match, you won't care what the beer tastes like. Problem solved.

I was sick in one at a nightclub in Magaluf around 2009. It all blew up into my face and I was sick again.

Thought I was really smart and shady using the only thing I could find with zero time to react. Still got kicked out.

It says a lot when the best bet in one of their bars is a carling
