There are a number of pubs in the vicinity of Villa Park, but most of them on match days are either member only or have bouncers on the door. The Witton Arms (formerly the Cap and Gown),where half the pub is given to away fans (there is even a separate entrance for visiting fans). It is only two minutes walk from the away entrance, right on Witton Island; however it does charge £2 per person to gain entry.
