Markka Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The star bar in Pollockshaws. 3 courses for £3. Never had the famous lunch deal but the Star Bar is ok for a quick pint or two.For Kilwinning the now closed down Abbey Bar was a dump.The Vic isn't much better but it stays open due to the bigots. I was going to say the Abbey wasn't that bad but then I realised I was getting it mixed up with the Tower. Don't think I was ever in the Abbey when it was a boozer.Chequers/Maracols/Thirst Foot was generally awful when it was open.Worst pub I've been in was a place in Dalmellington. Every one of the ten or so punters in the place glared at my mate & me and were drinking cans of Special Brew at 4pm on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chequers has the dubious distinction of being closed down after a bouncer pushed a guy down the stairs around Christmas time when the ground was frozen and the guy died. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fun if you were into getting a pool cue off the back of the nut... Fun pubs anywhere should have alarm bells ringing. The rot set in when they put women's toilets in. Pubs are for drinking in, not fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that used to be called Blazers about 15 years ago? If so best/worst pub I've ever drank in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad times, only ever been in twice after playing them on a Sunday, I knew most of the lads but still quite the experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I usually drink in The Scottie or Broadfields. Been in plenty worse boozers than those two. Scotties is a quiet pub. Occasionally get some nonsense going on in Broadfields, but it's usually just handbags. Eta: Giovanni's is the chippy, which is one of the best in Edinburgh. I've drank in broadies a few times, a few of our customers are locals, so I never get any bother. And theyve got a pie oven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked in methil at the time, the local boys in the yard told us not to go near it. It became our local, brilliant scenes every weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in there one lunchtime for a bag of chips. They were busy cooking the biggest pieces of fish that I think I have ever seen. There must have been at least 40 of them in the top cabinet and they were still putting more into the fryers. Turns out they were a freebie Christmas treat for the local old folks home. Top place.

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Whenever one of these threads appears I wonder why none of you just drink at home. It's much cheaper and apparently much safer and with a nicer décor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Exactly. £2 for a pint and a vodka & coke. And Victor's moaning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 My old local (RIP) in Fife treaded a fine line between terror and excellence. The missus would occasionally have to come round and chap the windows at 2am to drag me away from the scintillating chat and piles of corned beef sandwiches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
