Atleast they replace them unlike Gilmours! Crown is a bit of a shitehole but it’s a decent wee boozer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishBhoy Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Don’t know if it still exists but the Travellers Rest in Paisley was a sight to see, and I would say I’ve seen my fair share of shitehole pubs. My pal sat his pint on the edge of the pool table (I know it’s a daft thing to do) for literally 10 seconds and an argument broke out with one of the locals who lost the head at him doing that. About 15 minutes later we had a gang of teenage neds up to try and get us, one with a machete. As we were trying to get back into the pub for safety the regulars along with the bouncer were pushing us back out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatowner Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Four In Hand.In the late seventies I lived first in Easter Rd, then Albert St and was a regular in the Four In Hand and the Royal Nip across the road. George Best would use either after training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methil v Dundee Quarter-finals: Tower Bar v Caws The Brig Tavern v Polepark Bar Purple Cat v Kelly's Kirkland Bar v The Kettledrum Caws isn't the worst in town. Kelly's isn't the worst in Lochee. Kettledrum isn't the worst in Charleston. Christ knows how they've made it to the quarters in this competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The Tollbooth at the Gallowgate, Glasgow. Was going to a gig with a mate and we were meeting a mutual acquaintance before the concert. Meeting place of choice was this shitehole. Place was pretty empty despite it being a Friday (around 6:30) so there was plenty of available seating. Didnt stop the utter scumbag who was at the bar pissing himself where he sat because he didnt want to give up his seat. Judging by the stink and the stains on his joggies, he'd broken his beer seal several pints ago and was on at least piss number 3. Lasted 20 minutes before admitting that standing outside of the Barras was the marginally more attractive option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever been in once and that was purely because I was told it was a shitehole and potentially a bit dodgy. Had a great night to be fair. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I don't know the answer to the question implied in the thread title but I was in an interesting tavern in Cowdenbeath before a game recently. Anyone remember in the 1970s, the Sunday Mail used to do Pub Spy? The Welcome Inn (irony or what?) in Coatbridge was reviewed appropriately. (Long gone.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goth is/ was worth a visit for other reasons. Like many pubs it was cheap as chips. I liked it. I often wonder where my grandfather used to drink when he stayed in Sligo Street in Lumphinnans back in the day. Legend has it that he gave up the demon brew after he came face to face with auld Nick at the bottom of the stairwell stotting home from the pub one night and was teetotal from that day on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this one of these streets of mining cottages that no longer exist like those in Glencraig and Lassodie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that the prospect of eternity in the fiery pits of Hell was probably better than living in Lumphinnans. Hmm.. slight resemblance to Cowden Chairman Donald Finlay there.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The worst pub in Scotland is the Koelschip Yard. I wouldn't even call it a pub. Stay 50 yards from it and have avoided it since it opened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnHearts Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The Ferry Boat was a blinding pub for bother. Luckily or Unluckily, Drylaw Polis station was virtually next door. Reckon that place gave them more than their fair share of paperwork and court time. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
