I'm coming from the east and I'll i'll probably jump off the Train at East Richmond. Might be 5min extra walk but I can get to an ATM before hand and at squeeze in a few pints at he Swan/Valcluse/RCH/9T4.Note to the wise - I tried to get into the Precinct Hotel after the Stormers match. Initially they refused entry because I was wearing club colors. Dunno if that is a BS rule to screen people (read: groups of blokes), but be weary if you are looking for a pint after the match. I haven't heard of others places along Swan St that do this. Think they might have a massive problem trying to enforce that rule when 20,000 our out of AAMI park and 80,000 pour out of the MCG

The Precinct definitely are no footy colours, along with the GB and possibly the Swan. The London dont have a problem with them, and pretty sure the Corner don't either.
Personally I think it's a dumb rule, but it doesn't bother me - i'll just go do my drinking elsewhere. Bar 9T4, RCH, Beretta's Valcluse, Holliava, Cricketer's Arms, the Royal Hotel (classy joint) and the Post Office Hotel have no problems with colors as they are full of Rebels gear before and after matches.

I remember going to the Precinct after the Rebels' first ever trial game against Fiji at Olympic Park.
Was wearing a Rebels polo and was refused entry.
Bouncer: 'Sorry, no team colours'
Me: *covers crest* 'What team is this?'
Bouncer: *awkward pause*
Me: *walks in*

Holliava is the best bar on the street. Highly recommended.
Holliava is good, but being the first bar everyone decides to go in there. Agree about the no food problem - never tried the Pizza over the road but the Potato Cakes at the station are fantastic after a belly full of Lager
Anywhere that serves Fat Yak I'm in. Most Bars along Swan serve it, so naturally I gravitate towards those bars.

Precinct turning away colors is the stupidest thing. Keep advertising it on the Radio when all you know is footy Luke Darcy and than turn away the footy fans. This pub is nice and have gone in there in a Rebels Jersey before.
BUT PINTS COST TO MUCH so i'd rather go elsewhere. Post office before the game is good, if you get there before 6 pm it's still happy hour and only $7 a pint, bar staff are good and even ring the drinks through before poring if it's close to the end of happy hour.
