Everyone wrecked despite being only 5pm on a Tuesday, in particular a boy who had no teeth who claimed he had lost a full bottle of vodka down the back of his settee, so had come back down to pub for pints before buying another bottle of vodka. They were friendly enough but nuts. thats pretty much any pub in gorgie you've just described subhuman mutants was robbo in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, just bouncers being bouncers i.e. arseholes (they're not even directly employed by the Shoe). The Herald shows itself up for the low-grade comic it is by even running with that 'story'.

Not to everyone's taste, but there are countless worse places around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though, plenty of those kind of pubs are closing. Can't say i'm overly bothered going by their clientele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) I should probably list some of my worst bars. Florida Park, Glasgow An absolute hole. Went in a fair few times for a last pint before a game but what a dump. One time a couple of bouncers tried to drag one of my mates out the back with the obvious intention of beating him up a bit. There was a bar in Oban I was in once which was just awful, every pint was off and some of the locals (not staff) objected when we took them back. About twenty years ago but u can't remember what it was called. Bar in Tijuana where I was scared for me physical safety despite there being seven of us, all big lads. When we were offered the private 'donkey show' by one of the guys managing the strippers, at five in the afternoon, it was time to return to the relative sanity of the USA .

Funk knows why I went in to The Greyhound, the fact I stayed there for another 3 hours is even more of a mystery. I was in Newport earlier this year. me it was depressing.

deecie Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I was drinking in the Florida Park after the semi-final and found it to be charming. The locals were erm....unique. And having had 1 look in the door, I stuck with bottled beer and resisted the temptation to order G&T. Beer garden was alright too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaddypeekey Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Who said the Kempock in Gourock is gash? How very dare you! Best jukebox in the West, and cheap under counter cans of Tennents. Great pub. Now the Old Wherry Tavern in Gourock, sheeithole! Worst five pubs? (No particular order) 1. Loch Ness in Bratislava. Overpriced with no lager on tap, with plastic glasses. 2. Star bar, Port Glasgow. Oh dear. 3. Wallace Bar, Port Glasgow. Double oh dear. 4. The Clipper, Plymouth. If you've been there you'll understand! 5. Corinthian, Glasgow. Wanky, pretentious and overpriced. Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute hovel of an establishment with clientele to match. Dreadful shop with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Perth seems to be a desert when it comes to decent boozers.
