From a guide of Brisband road Leyton Orient
There is a supporters club at the ground that does admit small numbers of visiting supporters at a cost of £1. The supporters club which is located in the West Stand is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. As you would expect it is very popular with fans. However it is a relatively small club around a 200 capacity, so if you don't arrive there early, then you may find that it is already full. Otherwise the nearest pub to the ground is the Coach & Horses. To get there take a right out of Leyton station and walk down for about half-a-mile. It is on your left, within sight of the floodlights. John Baumber adds; 'There is also the Northcote on Grove Green Road. They have Sky television (unlike the Birbeck, see below) and it is only a 10 minute brisk walk from the ground. To find the pub turn right out of the tube station and then right again into Grove Green Road, at the bottom of the hill by the first main junction of traffic lights'.
Stephen Harris informs me; 'the best pub near to the ground is the Birkbeck Tavern in Langthorne Road, behind the tube station'. Mick Hubbard adds; 'Arriving at Leyton underground station, we headed for the Birkbeck Tavern, a place you would not chance upon, it being in a residential area around the back of the station. This place was a throwback, a real old-fashioned boozer. It hadn’t seen a lick on paint for about 30 years I reckon. Decor and soft furnishings were, shall we say, functional. Four real ales were on offer, a fact I only found out after squeezing my way to the bar and ordering the only one in view to me which was called Rita’s Special. If ever you visit Orient, and you like a decent pint, look this place up. From the Tube Station, turn right, and then right over an overpass that leads into the residential area behind the tube station'. This pub is also listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and offers a number of rotating guest beers alongside Rita's Special. Apparently this is a Courage Beer named by the pub after a former landlady.
If you have a bit of time on your hands and you like your real ale then you may consider a visit to the King William IV, which is the home of Brodie's Brewery. This pub which around a mile away from the ground on High Road, Leyton, boasts of having 16 Brodie's Beers on hand pump every weekend. Visit the website for more information. A little further on from this pub on Lea Bridge Road, is a Wetherspoons outlet called 'The Drum' which is also listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide

When we went last year we took Hammersmith and City line from Euston Square to Mile End.
Drank and ate in the Wetherspoons on Mile End Road by the tube station and then 2 stops on the Central line from Mile End to Leyton.
