Quite like the look of The Melting Pot at 26 Boulevard de Strasbourg and its not too far a stagger to our accommodation at far end of Rue de Bayard near the Railway station. We may be in Carcassonne for the day on Friday and may even take in a Carcassonne v Stade Montois rugby game, kickoff 7.30pm but I see the bar is open until 2am so should make it back before closing time.

Aye, grand for having boke. :thumleft:

His bar is grand. It's just the owner I have a problem with.

Melting Pot was good last time, although iirc they did run out of beer at one point. I can also recommend the Bar Barille beside the prison.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

Surely a bit too PRL-ish as a bar with a name like that?

I heard there was an irish bar in Toulouse where the craic (to your jaw) is mighty :duck:

Last thing I remember about the Saturday night in the Melting Pot was sharing a bottle of Bombay Sapphire with another member of this parish, not sure how we convinced the barman just to give us the bottle as it would save time running it through the measures but he obliged.

Is the Melting Pot the Irish(ish) pub about half way between the main square and the station, on the busy road with all the violent beggers? If so, it was a good spot. They a least showed the other Heine games last time I was there post-Castres. Cracking restaurant just across from it.

SRH - if the Aviva Premiership and Dragon is any good I could be persuaded...... :stout:

Most of my away trip meeting arrangements rarely go to plan but to keep Mr SurreyRedhand happy I'm suggesting Melting Pot Friday night and the George & Dragon Saturday night. Both appear to be open until 2am (doubt I'll stay up that late) so after leisurely evening meal would aim to be reaching the bars approx. 10pm. Ponder and discuss if necessary.

Weather forecast looks favourable at the moment.
17-18 degrees.
Plenty of white shirts - reminding me of the 4 blocks of white at the Montpelier game 2 seasons ago. :fleg:
