How we chose them
For each drink, the 3 pubs closest together within a short walk of the theatre (pubs that pour it, those whose beers we know first), in the order that makes the shortest walk to it, with about 45 minutes at each. Every stop was open at the time you'd get there for a 7.30pm show on each evening from Tuesday to Saturday, going by its own opening times or, where we don't have them, the hours places of its kind usually keep. Choose another curtain time and the page works out the times again for today, and says if a stop may be closed then.
Before you go
Show times vary, so check your ticket, and leave time to collect tickets or find your seat. Ask for halves, drink water between stops and eat something. Drinkaware has more. Opening times change: check before you set off. We're not connected with the theatre.
