The Navigation

Why is The Navigation good for fans?

A classic pre-match local a short walk from the Riverside Stadium, The Navigation is popular with Boro supporters on matchdays. It’s been noted as very close to the ground and busy before games, and it shows live sport on TV for those catching other fixtures around kick-off. Historic and recent sources also indicate it’s not an away-fan venue (signage and reviewer reports), so it suits home fans meeting up for pints before heading to the turnstiles.

NOT FOR AWAY FANS. There is a faded sign on the outside that we missed. We entered the pub in our football shirts and were served by a very friendly lady. The price was very good and the service quick and friendly. We had lot of friendly banter with the home fans about the game. 2 hours and 3 trips to the bar later we were asked to leave because some of the home fans didn’t like us being there.

I love this place. Old world style pub with no frills where you can enjoy a pint without any fuss. Staff are friendly and efficient and the beers on offer always taste clean and fresh. Can't get in on match days as it is a stones throw from Riverside Stadium but I visit on a regular basis as it is a great place to have a get together for a few pints and a laugh 😃
