slasher Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 In no particular order. The wetherspoons in sauchiehall Street. The rock pub in Zagreb that served horse burgers. Bleeuurggh! The Bull Inn (I think) in Krakow. The Ritz bar in Cambuslang (if ever somewhere was more inappropriately named!) The aforementioned Grange at Parkhead, although I'm a bit sentimental about it as I was once in there when some eejit tried to rob it with a dummy gun.

Flora MaDonald Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The Horseshoe does not stink of pish. It is a manly odour, which is a damn sight better than those poncy boozers that stink of Fairy Liquid. It must also have had the most famous patrons over the years.

It's not near Murrayfield though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The exception though was one called the Cragshannoch, which I think has been demolished. Â Was in there two or three times and never felt comfortable. Â It was run by a completely unfriendly and aggressive old fishwife. Â One Saturday night we went in and there was about three people in the bar - including the fishwife - they had the TV on. Â I stuck some tunes on the Jukebox and when it came on she turned the volume on the TV up! Â Another time someone asked for the darts and almost had them thrown at him. Â This picture from outside looks pretty grim, it was even worse inside. Â I'll see you and raise you with the 524 'Cocktail Bar' also on George Street. Not necessarily renowned for its Mojitos and Daquiris... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Always wanted to ask for a Harvey Wallbanger in there for a laugh but was never brave enough. It must be the most ill-named pub in the world - okay it is a 524 George St and it is a bar but in this case 2 out of 3 is bad, far from the worst though, had a few good nights in there back in the day.

neilser Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Before I met my wife she used to live in the tenement over the road from the 524.  I have issues with them going back to the days when they were 'refurbishing' the place some 12 years or so back at the same time we were doing Mrs neilser's flat up for sale. I'm convinced that they were responsible for depositing a manky old toilet in the back drying green of the tenement, right after we'd cleared the place up... Happy days   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 In no particular order. The Bonnie Prince Charlie near Parkhead. I used to always go there before Celtic Rangers games at the old CP. I think it later appeared on some TV show where one of the local jakies was eating pint glasses. Bairds. Some how ended up in here before a gig at the Barras. ing hell!! That is all. Another vote for The Stadium Bar. Utter toilet. It's in much better condition now, thankfully The majority of Wetherspoons/Lloyds I've been in, in particular The Counting House . Just soulless and generally full of maniacs. Last one I don't know the name of. It was in Luton the night before we flew to Macedonia.  Like something from Trainspotting.     Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in it on Saturday for the first time in years and while it clearly won't be to everyone's taste, for a pre match pint it's scrubbed up really well. Â It's much brighter (and cleaner) than it was before, loads of big screens showing whatever sport is on, plenty of taps for draft beer/lager and massive coolers for cold bottled beers and a decent sized outdoor space too. Â I doubt very much I'd go in it on a non match day (I'm not even sure if it's opened) but for a quick pint before the game it does the job.

Is that the place right across from the Subway? Think i went there after the Georgia game. It was pretty good! As you say, had a large outside space, plenty of choice of lager, lots of screens for watching the (i think) NI game and they were handing out free pies and rolls on sausage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been done up at the time we played Georgia...Unrecognisable from how it used to be! Come to think of it, we also got given some free grub when we came in for our last subcrawl.

PapofGlencoe Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) by worst we obviously mean total dives but in some ways they're the pubs with the most character; worst i've been in woodside bar, maryhill road bairds (now gone), barras hampden bar (?) near vicky road, govanhill is the absolute worst.  no sun filters through, the punters look like they're about to keel over at any point.  Pennies, Falkirk Mill Inn, Falkirk Kelly's, pollokshaws road - just didn't get a good vibe there, went in to watch a game and it just seemed full of angry alkies.

Saw an elderly lady (let's call her that) remove her false teeth, spew into an empty pint tumbler and then carry on drinking. A small puddle was forming under the bag of frozen food belonging to her mate. I didn't hang about for a second pint lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 No idea of the name of the pub but once walked from the Renfrew Ferry towards Hampden. Pub wasn't too far from the Ferry. Blue baize on the pool table and pictures of the Queen on the wall. A truly horrendous experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
