There's the Jacobs Well pub, pretty much bang in the Centre (although well hidden) which has a good selection of beers on, and there's a weatherspoons and a couple of buffet places in the city Centre for food too.
If you're driving (or getting someone else to drive while you sup) the Fighting Cock is a top old beery pub (albeit without any scran) and the Corn Dolly is a top boozer too (although I'm not sure they do food). Google 'em for maps.
With North Parade I'm sure all the bars will be open after the game, but I'm not sure they will be open before, as I think they all open at about 4-ish.
These are all quite a way from our iconic hole in the ground however.
Although it doesn't serve food, The Fighting Cock is only a few minutes away from the Punjab, an excellent curry house featuring the famous chapli kebabs, so spicy it's like a near death experience.
