The Bricklayers isn't a bad option, near Colchester North station. Bit of a homer's pub but I was fine back in 2010 without any colours. Decent ale (Adnams) and a good outdoor space if the sun shines. Also near the shuttle buses to the ground.

A shuttle bus operates from Bruff Close, which is close to Colchester (North) mainline station (at the end of the station approach turn left and take the second exit at the roundabout, the buses park behind the "Big Yellow" storage facility that you can see from the station ). For 3pm kick offs it runs from 1pm, with the last bus returning from the stadium at 6pm.
Drink at stadium
The Club allow access to the bar and toilets located on the concourse area of the Weston Homes Stand, before each home game (12.15pm for a 3.00pm Kick-Off). Drinks can be taken back outside the stadium to enjoy the pre-match entertainment such as live bands which are often playing under the marquee. This bar is available to both home and away supporters.
'If arriving at Colchester North Station then there are a few pubs within a five minute walk. Directly opposite Bruff Close (where the shuttle bus runs from) is the Bricklayers, a family run Adnams pub.
OR If you turn right out of the station and cross at the pedestrian crossing and keep going straight on down North Station road, you will come to the Norfolk, which is a Greene King pub and offers a good selection of lagers and ales. Plus Sky Sports on screen.
A little further on is the 3rd option being the Albert, which is a Beefeater pub.
PASALB pub The Dog and Pheasant on Nayland Road, is probably the closest to the stadium, although it is still around 3/4's of a mile away. To find the Dog and Pheasant pub, go down to the end of United Way at the stadium, then turn left at the end into Boxted Road and at the mini-roundabout go straight over into Nayland Road. The Dog and Pheasant is on the right next to a fish and chip shop.
