One of MatchPint's favourite pubs is a five minute walk from Stamford bridge and is one of the best pubs for eating and drinking before a Chelsea game. The food is all cooked fresh and there's a decent selection of beers together with a surprisingly accomplished wine list (for those mid-week games maybe!). The Sporting Page was MatchPint's pub of the month in November 2012. Check it!

Just by Fulham Broadway station, Brogan's is a busy Irish Bar with plenty of atmosphere on match days. Don't be too put off by the "Irish" part - it's not a typical no holds barred boozer in that sense - it's got more class than that, though it hasn't shirked away from a good, lively atmosphere. Food and pints are reasonably priced (certainly bearing the area in mind). Also worth turning up on a day when either Chelsea are playing on TV, or the Rugby's on!

THE place to go after the game for a brand new take on the pub/restaurant format in Chelsea. The venue is classy with great food and unimaginably comfortable seating but the big innovation is the self-service beer wall! Yep, a self-serving beer wall! Forget queueing at the bar and taking an age over your order, just take your glass up to the wall and choose from 8 different beers on tap. One of the best ideas we've heard of yet!

If you're getting out at West Brompton rather than Fulham Broadway, then this is your best chelsea pub for the big games, Taylor Walker have arranged an affordable menu that draws in plenty of punters pre, during, and post-match.

It's a cracking Sky Sports pub and one of the best Chelsea Pubs and bars outside of, well, Chelsea... Really friendly staff and a top selection of beers, lagers, wines, spirits, orange juices etc. And if the game turns out to be dire, you can always walk 3 minutes up the road to the boating lake on Battersea Park - just make sure you take some old stale bread to feed those hungry ducks...
