Alert Mongoose Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There's your drinking establishments there, starting at St Enoch and heading south of the river. I love how the pictures get more out of focus as the night goes on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I love how the pictures get more out of focus as the night goes on! Funnily enough it's round about the Doublet that my memories of the night start to get hazy. Gunther, it's been said repeatedly by others that the south side pubs are the best on the crawl, however your mates deciding to do it on a day that Rangers are at home is a schoolboy error. The pubs will be absolutely rammed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I used to live near the Doublet opposite the stand comedy club. Those were good times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Sh*t! Never been on a subcrawl but looking at those photos I've been in most of those pubs at one time or another over the years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) A wee heads up for any potential crawlers. Subway shutting for a month. http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14297800.Glasgow_Subway_to_close_for_a_month_on_June_24_leaving_staff_in_limbo/ ps. What's Jackson's like, Knightswood Bear? I've always thought it looked good when I've passed but haven't ventured in as yet. Edited February 26, 2016 by H Wragg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping in mind that I think I've been in it 3 times and been pished on every occasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a decent pub but easy to lose your mates if you're pissed as it's two shops knocked into one, you can be standing at one bar and they're round the corner. Great place to go for a bar lunch BTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There's your drinking establishments there, starting at St Enoch and heading south of the river. Point of order. Surely Inn Deep is closer to the Kelvinbridge Subway than The Doublet. Both are nice pubs, so you don't lose out in this instance by going "by the rules" and going to the closer one. Whereas, in the case of St George's Cross, it is probably acceptable to walk a few blocks to Munro's and avoid the far closer, but rotten, Castle Vaults. Likewise, in the case of Kelvinhall, I'd advocate bending the rules very slightly and going to The Lismore rather than the Partick Tavern, My excuse would be that it avoids needlessly crossing a busy road, but in truth The Lismore is just better. If you are set on crossing Dumbarton Road, surely The Three Judges is the most pleasing option? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your first point, depending on what exit you take from the station both are about the same distance, and if my admittedly hazy, recollection is correct, the escalators were closed for refurbishment that day. You second point is entierly correct. The third point is also correct, except for one vital piece of information. The Lismore does not have a pool table, and the Tavern does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent riposte on point 3 there. There are far, far, far too few pubs with pool tables these days. It's a bit of a depressing situation. That area of Glasgow used to have one over in the Islay Inn and two in The Tap. All gone now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The mrs works in the Three Judges. Often pop in for a pint whilst waiting for her to finish. Lovely little boozer actually but no sky/bt so no football shown unless it's on alba and I ask for it to be turned over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brewery Tap was a cracking boozer that's a prime example of the law of diminishing returns with every wanky reinvention that it's been through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 100% true. It was being mismanaged towards the end to be fair. Neds were openly dealing out the bogs, but hey-ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely the place to go in that part of the city if Real Ale is your bag. They've always got a load of options and usually have guest ales in every week/month. It's shamelessly withstood the westendification of that end of Byres Road as well, and that can only be a good thing. edit: I know it's on Dumbarton Road before some smart arse points it out.

eddiemunster Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I used to live near the Doublet opposite the stand comedy club. Those were good times. Did you share a flat with someone with the initials DC perchance? My mate stayed where you describe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Don't have a kitty, as the day goes on people will change what they want to drink and keeping up with it is hard work. Get yourself a beer buddy, and do rounds with them, it works out quicker than everyone trying to get served individually. Lastly, give the staff at The Louden some bags of sweets as a thank you for the pies/rolls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Did you share a flat with someone with the initials DC perchance? My mate stayed where you describe. Nah - had a couple of people living there on and off. Was a total blur of a period of my life but great memories of the west end for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Question for KB probably. When talking about picking a day when Rangers were at home, is that pub even open on days when they aren't at home? I did a subcrawl recently on a Saturday night and it was closed. Couldn't believe a pub was closed on what should be peak time but assumed it maybe just opened for Rangers games or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it is sometimes closed but I honestly couldn't say when that is. It's definitely been open the twice I've done the Crawl and that's been a Saturday when we've been away or not playing. Your options at Ibrox are pretty much The Louden or walking back out onto Paisley Road West. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Dolphin not be closest? It's basically straight across the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
