Orry's - Top toffee ale'ouses report

Juiced up in Rotterdam

Top Toffee Ale'ouse
Orry's Cafe Bar

Orry's Cafe Bar (nominated by Dave Lupton)
116/120 County Rd. Walton (Next to the Kwiky)

'Orry's is probably the best ale'ouse, they play ' Z Cars ' about 20 minutes before kick off so you can neck the rest of your pint and head to the ground.... I've seen Chris Fenlon there sippin' wine and soda's.' (Dave Lupton 23/08/00)

The name is simply 'Orry's', unless you are a ponce and wish to use the full title, 'Orry's Cafe Bar'.

This venue has, in the past, been a longstanding haunt of the Blue Kipper crew, a classy joint which on matchdays quickly fills up with wall to wall Blues, the bouncers on the door ensure that the place is restricted to standing room only while Top Toffee tunes blast out of the sound system as kick off approaches.

All together now!

Standing room only!

The Management * * * *

Joe Orr is one of the redsh.., however he really knows how to satisfy his customers by providing everything you need on matchday, in terms of ale, sounds, totty behind the bar and service.
When you have sampled the Orry's experience (particularly on 'Derby' day) it's one you'll never forget and you'll wonder why he is a red neck, but will forgive him, only just, for being from across the Park.

Atmosphere * * * * *

The classiest joint on County Rd. What else makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up better than ' Z Cars ' and ' All together now' at full volume 15 minutes before the game?
You are guaranteed these tunes on every visit. A top place full of Dads, lads, Grandads and families who are all true blues.

Ale * * * *

Free House, plenty of choice including Shitesponsered lager, however, recently introduced Stella Tortoise, you can now get seriously juiced up! There is also the alternative of Castlemaine XXXX!

Music, TV & Radio * * * * *

The absolute business.
TV's all around the shop, you are talkin' a shed full (although there isn't one in the bog), with a BIG screen in the back corner. Can't hear a thing, 'cause it's fuckin' chocka, but you can see the latest news from Sky!
The music is sound, with Top Toffee tunes, 'Altogether Now', 'Z Cars' etc cutting in, loud, on regular occasions.

Locals * * * * *

Include Tommy Clinton who played for Everton between 1948 -1954 (80 games, 5 goals, signed for Everton while hanging out of a train carriage window as it pulled out of Dundalk station), Dougie Reed & TV personalities 'Tin'ead' from Brooky & Phil Barrenti from Dream Team.

Special Features * * * * *

You know when 'Johnny Todd' kicks off and the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, well it happens here before every game, you are talkin' loud, fuckin' loud, with the locals bangin' the tables in accompaniment.
Behind the bar there is top totty, who are lightning fast at serving,if you think they are slow, well remember they are well worth looking at for a while, so wait your hurry.
If anyone asks where you've been before the game, you can say Orry's for some credibility, even if we've lost!!
