The area around the Den has yet to be built up, and as such there aren't many local pubs for Milwall or away fans to drink at before the game. Therefore the place to drink is the area of London Bridge.The Shiprights Arms is very popular for fans seeking a pub with character - another pub similar to this is the 17th Century George Inn located on Borough High Street. For those wanting a bit more modern, the local Slug and Lettuce, is just up the road.Away fans are advised not to drink near the stadium and so the 'Market Porter' has become a popular away fans pub. The 'Market Porter' is frequently featured in London's Best Pubs guides and features 9 real ales on tap.

More than with most venues, if you're going to a Millwall game, you need to take care not to stray into the wrong kind of pub. Though it's a minority, there is a violent culture associated with Millwall, so be careful at the pub and hide any rival club colours.However, there are good options for a drink. Pommelers Rest by London Bridge tube station is a large, popular Wetherspoons where you should be pretty comfortable. Similarly is the Shipwright Arms, not far from Spoons.
