Brazen head gets my vote as the roughest drinking hole in glesga, drank in there between roughly 1997 and 2011(pardon the pun) so not been there in a while mores to pity...
Always remember going there at first in the taxi and the site of the massive Paolo Di Canio poster if you like on the building always brought me smiles and warmth before entering, Di Canio of course did not stay long but we certainly went back,, great crack and we got friendly with the locals,bar staff and the main bands early on like gary from eire og and alan from shebeen.... defo was a few skirmishes when we were tho or should i say brawls,, really bizzare and lucky tho as we always seemed to luckily be at the other side of the pub thankfully when the shit hit the fan,, there was even one or 2 occasions where i was too pissed and still in party rebel mode singing along to even realise there was battles happening right beside me, one of my sensible sober friends told me the next day what happened tho.
Dirty nellies upstairs from the brazen i hear had some battles but i defo did see that when i was present,,, either too pissed or focused on the other sex to realise what was happening i suppose:-)
We were also in there i think must have been around 1999 or the year 2000 when Robert Duvall walked around the pub, we later realised he was there to try and work on his glesga accent for his upcoming movie a shot at glory with ally mcoist.
Great pub tho and do miss it, need to go back for a guiness...
