Place probably saw more fights than the actual prison. One guy ran into the bus depot across the road and grabbed a 3 foot long wrench and cracked some poor sod over the head with it. Happy days. Aye, it's some place. Looks desolate as f**k from outside, with the field and the prison behind. Currently building some new houses there now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Formerly a thriving, vibrant boozer in my youth, Newtown Bar in Bo'ness had turned into one helluva shite-hole around the time I moved out the town up to Falkirk. Think there was more coke being snorted off the bar than there was pints being served over it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been closed for over a decade due to a fire rumoured to be gangster connected, our bus used to park accross from it many years ago before games at CP, it had a TV behind the bar in a fucking cage as the barmaid explained the previous two had pint tumblers lobbed at them, on my first (and last) pre match pint in there I saw a guy smoking heroin off a bit of tinfoil in the toilet. Ah the good old Netherfield Bar aka the Nerry. One of the two or three small "dance halls" in the East End. Put a dance hall in the lounge and a ghetto blaster and apply for a late night licence. There was another one in an industrial estate in Shettleston. As long you didn't bump into the local warlord you were fine. Drink a beer after midnight in the East End on Tuesday. It was almost Benidormesque. Edited June 11, 2017 by Glenconner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 There are a few pubs in Edinburgh that I just wouldn't go near. Locally, for me, the worst would be The Calderwood in Bonnyrigg or The Bottom Shop (The Abbey?) in Nitten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit rough but I've only been in for the odd pint during the day. Been past a few times at night and always looks quite lively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Don't know about the worst in Scotland but certainly one of the worst pubs I've been in is the Brothers Nightclub in the world famous trend setting area of Possilpark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Couple of places down my way have had their moments in the past. The Crown and Cushion and The Jocks Lodge. Both have been taken over and changed beyond recognition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I pass quite regularly when I'm at the New Yorker though. It's a grill place now and it actually looks quite decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the one you are thinking of is just called the Longstone. The one I think you're on about is actually the prison officers club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
