GOAT 30,449 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The last two times we've been there have been Friday night kick offs and we've just stayed in the bus, wheres the nearest pubs to the ground, we're going to be in Kirkcaldy a good hour and a half I'd say before kick off, so need to get a pub.

wully 47,329 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Martin Hart informs me; 'The Starks Bar is the nearest bar to the ground and is popular with both home and away supporters. However, it can get very busy on matchdays'. Andy Turner adds; 'Raith's support usually congregate at the Novar Bar in Nicol Street. In my opinion though, the best boozer in the town is the Harbour Bar. A regular CAMRA award winner whose landlord brews his own excellent ale as well as having wonderfully kept guest beers from around the UK. The pub is on the seafront by the harbour area (hence the name) next to Fife College Priory Campus. Its a fair distance to the ground, but for those who fancy a "bracing walk" its a matter of a hike the length of the seafront. You can still see the floodlights of the "San Starko" in the distance.'

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 We found a really small boozer about 10 minutes from the ground last time but I have no idea what it was called. The local police told us that was the closest bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 After some detective work it looks like the closest bar is the abbey hotel which someone mentioned above on Milton road. About 15 minutes walk if you're taking your time.The buses park next to that beveridge park I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be a hit or a miss with football tops so think about that. There's a large pub called society on the prom that have large function rooms, if your lucky can possibly get a load in if you phone, it's worth a go I suppose.

I used tae live down there and that sounds like good advice. Although if you venture further along the High Street you might bump into Willie Johnston who I think still drinks in Brodies.

Already suggested society but there's the duchess, exchequer and occonels on the high street, all off which would show up in that map. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIE8CH 296 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 abbey is the nearest boozer, if you are coming from Glasgow/west you will pass the beveridge park hotel near the railway station 10/15 mins walk. get some one to phone Kirkcaldy golf club (01592 205240 ) near starks park and where the buses park aswell there has been other supporters buses in before games against raith.

Grant_1986 73 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I wouldn't give The Abbey your money, used to be run by Rangers-hating former Hibs defender Shaun Dennis (although not sure if it still is).You're best off having a few pints in one of the pubs on the High Street, like The Exchequer and then making the 10-15 min walk to the ground, if you can manage it!
