Must say I've been in the CIU possibly half a dozen times over the years and didn't like the place at all. Too enclosed and cramped for me. I think there is another one on the King's Road, (not far from The Imperial on the opposite of the road), but I have never been in there myself. Anyone know if it's still there and what it's like on matchdays?
We've been drinking either in the Prince of Teck at Earls Court or The Tournament in West Brompton for a couple of seasons now. Can get a beer without standing at the bar for twenty minutes and there's a great cafe practically next door to the Teck. Wouldn't recommend the Teck on Sunday though as the boozers outside Earls Court station usually get taken over by the mousers when we play them.
Will be in The Maltsers after the game Geez if you fancy popping by for a pint?
