Trivia - Most Pubs in a Railway Station Building

[matacaster]

Which main station building has the most pubs in it?

To start with I nominate Huddersfield with two pubs (one at each end) of the only Grade 1 listed railway station in Yorkshire.

 

[Clip]

If you include the arches then I think Euston has 4 - is there still one upstairs?
Waterloo has 2
The Cross has 2 if you include the Great Northern bar
Liv st 2
Paddington has 2 - was 3
Victoria has 2 was 3
Cant remember anymore off the top of me head

I'n a station building or premises? Because iirc Euston has four.

St Pancras has The Betjeman Arms, The Booking Office bar, the Searcys Champagne Bar, The Curious Pig, Sourced Market, and Des Vins.
And you can have a drink with your meal at Searcy's Grand, Le Pain Quotidien and Barzetti.

What's the Curious Pig like ? I've never spotted that one.

It's described as a 'mini gastro-pub', upstairs near the EMT First Class Lounge.

I might give that a try for lunch. Will have to be good to prize me out of the Betjamin !

 

[thenorthern]

Manchester Piccadilly has 2 I think.

 

[EM2]

Oh, I forgot the Continental Bar in the Eurostar departure lounge!

 

[farci]

Until recently Glasgow Central had three pubs and two directly accessible buildings (Central Hotel and Alston Bar & Beef) where you could get a drink.

Now the two upstairs pubs have closed denying train spotters the opportunity to have a pint and a bird's eye view of the concourse leaving a pretty miserable boozer plus the abovementioned champagne bars.

I just don't know any more...

Not the most, but perhaps the highest pub/platform ratio or at least pubs/users?

EDIT: Clearly not the highest ratio of pubs to platforms as HUD has a pub for every 3 platforms, Dewsbury has a pub for every 2.

Codsall Station (1 pub - 100,000 annual users) has a much higher pub/user ratio.

Glasgow Central has 4 (I think). 2 on the main concourse and 2 at roadside next to the Low Level entrance.

And even if it is only available to first class ticket holders, EMT's off peak advance firsts are often only a few quid more than their seconds, I generally upgrade anyway.

Is it only available to 1st class ?

Will have to find a cheap advance then !

It isn't, no. It's *near* the First Class lounge.

Oh, I think I've walked past it.

Which stations have Wetherspoons pubs?

I know Leeds does, and I think London Victoria.

 

[cool110]

Liverpool Lime St has The White Star and The North Western, the latter being a Wetherspoons

 

[mirodo]

Which stations have Wetherspoons pubs?

I know Leeds does, and I think London Victoria.

Also Cannon Street (London), Liverpool Street (London) and Liverpool

The "Hen Gorsaf" ("Old Station", I think) at Aberystwyth uses part of the old station building.

 

[Trackman]

Manchester Piccadilly has 2 I think.

If you count Carluccio's upstairs where you can get a drink, 3.

 

[scrapy]

Does TGI fridays at Piccadilly also have a bar?

I believe there is also now a Wetherspoons at Edinburgh Waverley. Opened very recently.

 

[66Yorks]

York has 2.

Duke of York
York Tap

It's on Waverley bridge. Although it's technically not "in" the main concourse area, it's still within the station:

London Victoria does indeed have a Wetherspoons. It's unnamed.

Post-refurbishment Euston doesn't have a pub upstairs any more, there are three restaurants up there now but I don't know if they're licensed.

The "Hen Gorsaf" ("Old Station", I think) at Aberystwyth uses part of the old station building.

Yr Hen Orsaf - which does indeed mean "The Old Station". Was quite novel sitting in there looking out on the 158 in the platform (though I have never actually used the station to take a train at all!)

 

[RailAleFan]

Manchester Piccadilly mezzanine level - as well as The Mayfield pub, Cafe Ritazza, TGI Fridays, The Hourglass, Carluccio's, and Yo! Suchi are all licensed.

But may as well not be with the Piccadilly Tap on Station Approach

 

[Old Yard Dog]

Cleethorpes has two pubs, both of which are in the Good Beer Guide. Appropriately they are called No 1 Pub and No 2 Refreshment Rooms.

Sadly I had to limit my consumption on yesterday's BLS/TPE class 170 farewell rail tour as we knew that almost all of the toilets were going to be out of order on the return leg to Manchester. Even station gents had had to close due to flooding.

 

[Cheshire Rover]

Helsby Station is about to have a tap room and real ale shop. Opens this Saturday.
