Cosmic Joe Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 37 minutes ago, dundeefc1783 said: Trades is over rated imo. Has a good selection of beers but there are better boozers in Dundee. It's also shite for watching live sports as their tv's aren't greatest and on a sunny day can see f**k all with the sun beaming in the windows anyway. There are at least three bars I'd rather go to within walking distance of Trades. Mainly because it is overcrowded and overpriced. One of them is even Davie Dodds' ex-knocking shop which would appear to have been tarted up recently. The much maligned Club Bar is also better for a swift one to or from the train station...

Getting hammered to blot out the failure of Glasgow Rangers. Thanks, chaps. I welcome your continued interest in me. I was 'up London' this afternoon to cheer the the lads and lassies taking part in Pride. The Soho pubs were absolutely rammed (as you'd expect) so I left my older daughter and her pal queuing at The French House for a half and went back to Marylebone and had a pint here: http://www.thornburycastle.uk.com/ Really nice boozer. Run by a London Wasps-obsessed couple who are always delighted to discuss egg-chasing.and a bit of a hidden gem in central London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a brilliant combo of auld boys half and half's and the horses through the day and decent bar for a night out in evening. Shite since it got sold on a few years back though. Still prob decent through day but a gang hut at night. In town centre trades is decent but Pillars better and star and garter really good now its been done up but kept all the wee snugs.

mizfit Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Christies has a good selection of beer and a decent pub in Perth nowadays.....even if it did used to be a Rangers pub many years ago. Always thought Trades was decent in Dundee too. Trying to remember the pub opposite Fountain Park in Edinburgh.....painted blue, nice food and a great pint of St Mungos .. Christies was completely dead at weekends until about 2 years ago then it took off again, great wee place. Also very fond of the Auld Hoose in Perth.

invergowrie arab Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I was in the Auld Hoose recently. Didn't like the refurb. Bit more of a tinky crowd too. Dickins in Perth is a weird one in that it has a fantastic whisky selection, really nice bar put frequented by utter tinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Bennetts (not the P&B roaster) Bar next to the Kings Theatre at Tollcross in Edinburgh is nice. Huge selection of malt whiskies and alcohol as well as a beautiful old pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Whenever in Embra I always make a beeline for the Cafe Royal. Amazing architecture, good atmosphere, well kept beer, good food and the views aren't bad either. What more could you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
