The place to go for a lazy afternoon, pub quiz or last call
You can tell us more about Luton.
Pubs
- loads about look out for toms plying for trade
- not sure about pubs, but the offie by manor park ( locally known as the chinky shop) has a few remarkably baby faced customers. geddit? -M-
- The Sportsman in Stopsley Village, great pub, very busy Friday/Saturday nights.
- BUCKWILDS
- Brookes, The Park for the alternative and indie crowd,The Whitehouse can be ok but you do get some knobs in there-nothing unusual.
- The English Rose on Old Bedford Road - quiet cosy family pub with excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Serves a variety of real ales.
- TOWN CENTRE A NO GO, TRY BARTON. When I was 20 ish town centres were ok, what's happened?
- SPACE NIGHTCLUB everyone loves to be bottled.... i mean drunk
- Lots of Irish pubs
- Avoid Bellini arroagant ownner entrance based on your clothes!!
- In the age of the binge drinker and drunken fighter no pub gets more sirens than the favirte in sundon park.A little riot evry weekend. With the best people for sundond park, Hockwell Ring , marsh farm and leagrave there you are always going to get top english entertaiment.H
- wetherspoons is still the cheapest but saddlers is a close second
- The Whitehouse does cheap food but attracts large numbers of old alcoholics until mid-evening.
- Warden Tavern 88-early 90s cool crowd and a great disco on sunday nights
- The George II, just by the train station in luton. Welcome atmosphere and a live band most fridays!
- They're all rubbish. Been away from the town for a while and recently come back. The pubs in luton like the clubs, demand that you walk round waiting to fight some little inbred rude boy of you. They all play the same shit music and are all full of beer boy twats
- Bird and Bush, Bushmead!! Hello everyone there!
- Just before we got together, my hubby told me he loved me in the Brewery Tap...aaaah! Actually, the best Sunday pub is the Green Man in Great Offley but that's in Hertfordshire so maybe doesn't belong here but we have walked to it a number of times in the summer and then got the bus back.
- The best pub in luton is the white house. very cheap, great food, nice atmosphere. Mixed crowd of people from 20 - 70 in age.
- Eddies Bar serves TAYTO crisps - I have no idea how as you can't get them anywhere else in England. The crisps don't quite compensate for the slightly intimidating clientele though.
- MILLIONS OF THE BLOODY THINGS!
- White House in the town centre, one of those great value Wetherspoon pubs. Very large pub.
- The Brewery Tap was always the best, played some really cool tunes, none cheesy. It has now changed hands 3 times and is becoming less of a find and regular crowd as it once had. Yates is still shit! Brooks' is cool cause its open after 12. Euphoria is probably one of the best, its where the old firkin used to be which was shit, but its really funky in there and its also open for longer which means getting absolutley hammered. Been chucked out of the edge so that place is shit! Brannigans is the grab a granny contest! White house is ok, but no music. The Heights (formerly the Rat and Carrot) is also quite ok for getting steaming, and lets face it that is the purpose of everyone in Luton!!!
- Two Brewers in Dumfries Street. One of the old original pubs. Warm and friendly. Good Guinness.
- the best pub has to be eddies,good looking barmaids and a decent pint.spent most of my student lone in that place
- Bedfordshire Yeoman - local pub without the rumbles. Brooks - nice low brow bar. Whitehouse - cheap cheap cheap - Strangley grand for luton, weird mix of crowd.
- The Cock (now a Murphys chain brand I think?) was always good for heads-down, no-nonsense drinking. Eddies Bar - never saw a fight in there in me life.
- Best pub for rock/indie/metal types is the Bridge Tavern on a Friday/Saturday. Or Sunday nights for all you old skool rockers! Its a bit dingey insid but its the only place to go, simply because its pretty muh the only rock pub in Luton.
- If you want an olde English pub in the middle of town go to The Brewery Tap on Park Street - fantastic building with a generally typical Luton (ie Loud scary looking but loveable rouges) lads. Good food and very good bar staff.
If you are looking for a more up beat trendy bar, go to "the Stop" (also on Park Street) - which is relatively new and attracts fresh young things and everyone looks gorgeous (well after a few drinks!). They also have three pool tables and a great sofa chill out area. The bar staff in here are some of the best I've seen and they are very nice and incredibly lively!!
If you're a student go to the its a scream pub "the Park" - on Park Street
- The Bramingham in Barton Hills.. dodgy selection of beers( Charles Wells), but well kept, excellent clientelle, good laugh.
- Luton has ad a bit of a make over recently and most of the names in this guide have changed
Newt and Cucumber is TP Woods, the Firkin is now Euphoria and Pitchers is The Sports Bar
Lots of new clubs including @mosphere and liquid for the young and skinny and places like
Branigans and Chicago's for the more "mature" punter.
White House and Brewery Tap nice and cheap
The Castle for a quiet pint
- Euphoria............on chapel street.Nice decor,banging tunes,great atmosphere.
revamped"Dog and Donut".........on market hill.Much nicer inside now,than it used to be.Chart hits and lots of punnanie!
The Barrels..........cannon lane,stopsley.New friendly landlord,good atmosphere of recent.
- The Gardeners Call on High Town Road is my fav, but for Town pubs I'd recommend the Stop on Park Street - it's not really studenty like some of the other pubs in town. Also the Brewery Tap is a must!
- O'Shea's in Castle Street, especially w/ends, best Guinness in the Home Counties, great music at w/ends, v.friendly clientele, smashing landlord too!.
- Whatever the rat and carrot used to be called it was good./ The brewery trap is good in the summer.
- Wheatsheaf Luton - the only place outside of Whipsnade you can enjoy the smell of the rhino house in the bog
- The Fedora and Firkin in Chapel Street has closed and reopened as a chrome-y
nightmare.
The Newt and Cucumber is now called T P Woods but still does great pub grub
(I highly recommend their steak and Guinness pie but only if you like mushy
peas)
Not ALL pubs in Luton are the same (loud music, tarts and psychos) -try The
Castle opposite Brookes' for an altogether different pub. More expensive
than many, but they have a dartboard and haven't had any hospitalisations
because of it!
- The Bedfordshire Yeoman on Dallow Road. Clientelle have seen better days, scary landlady but take a trip there well worth it for the stories to tell your friends the next day.
- Only available for under age drinkers
- purley tavern watch your back someone might knife you for your trainers
- Most depressing pub, the one on Dallow rd, and it's the only pub in the area
- Eddie's Bar, fantastic watering hole for most of Luton's Irish population which single-handedly stopped the extension of the railway station (and has all the press cuttings to prove it!)
- Little South Luton locals.
- All the pubs in Luton are essentially exactly the same. LOUD DANCE MUSIC, Pretty Girls and violent pissed up physco's everwhere.
- Luton has a great selecttion of pubs and clubs to rival big cities like London. The best pub to visit before your big night out is The Newt and Cucumber in King Street. You could also try The Brewery Tap.
- Fedora and Firkin, Chapel Street. Brews its own beer on the premises. Two Brewers, Dumfries Street. Bohemian atmosphere!
- At the Market Hill end of town, Yates'Wine Lodge and The Dog and Donut (previously the Rat and Carrot)are the best, at the other end, Brannigans and somewhere in between, The Newt and Cucumber
- yates,cork and bull,the tap,pitchers,railway tavern,conway arms last two good if you req gear
