Chelsea fans are familiar with Wembley, having already made the short journey to England's national stadium for the 2024 Carabao Cup final. The Blues are still seeking their first silverware under boss Mauricio Pochettino, but will first have to reach the final by beating Manchester City in the semi-final of the FA Cup.
Chelsea have been allocated 34, 399 tickets for their semi-final with Manchester City. If you are a Chelsea fan heading to the match on Sunday, then here is everything you need to know about the Wembley pubs that have been allocated to you.
Chelsea Wembley pubs: Where can Chelsea fans drink pre-match?

Just like their Carabao Cup Final appearance back in February, Chelsea have been allocated the west side of the stadium for pubs.
The west side of Wembley is full of great pubs. Arguably the best and most well-known pub in the surrounding area of Wembley is the Green Man which is half a mile west of Wembley Stadium. That isn't the only option on that side of the stadium, though, with plenty of other places being perfectly good options if the Green Man reaches capacity.
The full list of pubs available on the west side of Wembley is as follows:
- The Green Man, Dagmar Avenue HA9 8DF
- Crystals (Sports Bar & Aqua Lounge) 1 Popin Building, Southway, HA9 0HB
- The Arch, 324 Harrow Rd, Wembley , HA9 6LL
- Station 31, 299-303 Harrow Rd, Wembley, HA9 6BD
- The Liquor Station, 397A High Rd, Wembley, HA9 6AA
- JJ Moons, 397 High Rd, Wembley, HA9 6AA
- La Regina, St George's Hotel, 43-51 Wembley Hill Rd, Wembley, HA9 8AU
- Black Sheep, 2 Olympic Way, Wembley Park, HA9 0GU
- Sixty Six Bar & Grill, 3 South Way, Wembley, HA9 0JU
- The Corner House, 313 Harrow Road, HA9 6BA
- White Horse, 4 Wembley Park Blvd, Wembley Park, Wembley HA9 0HP
Brent Council are enforcing a No Street Drinking Zone on Olympic Way and the surrounding areas, so the pubs and official fan zones are the only place to enjoy and alcoholic drink.
Other pubs around Wembley for Chelsea fans
As a London club, Chelsea fans may already have a dedicated pre-match pub that they'll go to before making their way across to the capital to Wembley. For those who want to ensure they are nearby the stadium, Kilburn High Road is often popular with fans as are the pubs around Baker Street.
Kilburn Park is just six stops down the Bakerloo line from Wembley while Baker Street is just two stops away on the Metropolitan line.
There are also a number of places to eat and drink at the London Designer outlet that are available to fans of either side that include chain bars and restaurants such as Nando's, TGI Fridays, Pizza Express and Wagamama.
Inside the stadium
Wembley stadium is now completely cashless, meaning fans will need to make sure they have a card or contactless method of payment with them if they want to buy anything whilst inside.
Supporters will be able to take advantage of a new frictionless Tap Bar on level one at Wembley, allowing access to refreshments quicker and more conveniently. Fans will simply tap their card on entry, pick up what they have ordered and then walk away without the need to queue.
Man City fans may be repeat visitors to the stadium, but there are some recent additions to the food and drink offerings at Wembley.
These include TapHouse Social, Camden Town Brewery Bars and two new M&S Food stores, and can be found on the level two concourse.
