Who wins the Premier League for pre-match pints?
Newcastle’s St James’ Park stadium is the best location to get a pre-match pint in the Premier League, according to a new study. But where does your team rank?
The report by AceOdds claims that the stadium has 262% more pubs than any other ground in the EPL with some 131 pubs to explore before or after the match.
In second place with 50 pubs within walking distance of the ground is Wolverhampton Wanderers, followed by Burnley, which has 36 near to Turf Moor.
Although odds-on favourite to win the EPL each year, Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium is the worst ground in the country to get a pre-match pint, with only two pubs within a fifteen minute walk of the stadium.

The company also assessed the top ratings of the local pubs, deciding that The New Brew-m Pub in Burnley ranked as the best venue for a pre-match pint in the Premier League, followed by the William Gunn in Nottingham, which got a similar star rating, but pint prices were much dearer.
The pubs with the most expensive pints were unsurprisingly in London, with Chelsea’s The Fox and Pheasant charging £6.30, followed by West Ham, Crystal Palace and Tottenham charging £5.50.
The cheapest pint was found at Burnleys New Brew-m for £2.50 and Wolverhampton The Great Western for £3.50.
