Quote ="jonh"I had a top weekend spent most of it blasted truth be told but was very annoyed at the lack of groups being allowed into bars, Murrayfield was poor for getting served given the lack of bars within the ground.
Thought Edinburgh was a good city but truth be told much prefer Cardiff as a venue.
Good to bump into a few off here even though i only have very sketchy memories of any of the encounters.'"
Our group was 12 in size and mixed in sex. And we struggling to get in a few bars over the weekend, most of the bars we fairly empty and they still would not let people in.
We headed down to Haymarket before Saturdays game and hoped that the bars/pubs would be more relaxed closer to the ground but it didnt seem that way. They stopped letting people in as they kept saying they can only have the pub 70% full on game days.
After the game, we ended up just going to one pub in Murrayfield as word was that most pubs would not let you in with your team shirts on.
Overall Cardiff is a much better option, you can drink in groups, you can drink outside (which you cannot to in edinburgh) and the ground right slap bang in the centre of the city.
