Can confirm it was gid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For its location, literally 20 yards across from the entrance to a major train station, it's hard to comprehend how utterly bowfing that place is. Got to be up there as one of the mankiest pubs in the city centre. Any other contenders? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dows just has that air of impending violence in it at all times. Not a nice pub at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a rarity in these parts - it's one of the few things I can think of that's actually improved by the addition of salt and sauce, so it tends to be what I gravitate towards on the occasions I'm in an Edinburgh chippy. I imagine it would be rank with just salt & vinegar though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Pizza paradise in the middle of Edinburgh is a laugh. Only food place open past 3am as far as I know. Pissed up revellers sitting down for a meal at 5am is megalolz. Me and my pals went in there after the Hive shut around 5am around 6/7 years ago. Had a proper sit down meal; was surreal the bits I remember. Having bouncers on the door at an “Italian” restaurant was hilarious to my younger self. One of my pals ordered spaghetti bolognese and ended up spewing it all over the toilets; whether that’s testament to the food or how cheap the drinks were in Hive at the time I don’t know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be up there as one of the mankiest pubs in the city centre. Any other contenders?It’s a very weird place. Usually I’ll nip in for the toilet after getting into Glasgow about 11 and even then it feels like it’ll kick off at any moment. Also the only place that’s happy to sell bottles with the lid still on for the last train home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I was in Dows once, the opening day of the 12/13 season, the Caley were away to St Mirren. It was an experience. Got asked who I supported about 7 times in the half hour I was in there. Despite it being clearly obvious that I was standing with guys with The Caley scarves on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Dows and Waxy O'Connors, you know how to live! You should push the boat out and venture another 20 yards to The Counting House or Auctioneers. I believe that to be the end of the world and there are no other pubs in Glasgow. I've heard of The Horseshoe, but don't believe it exists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don't change the dragon picture at the top of the stairs then I don't mind. It's been a land mark painting there since at least the late 70s. The Princess Rose in Balloch has allegedly also featured in pass-the-parcel ownership over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I know Dows is a kowp but as I said I was mortal and I didn't fancy my chances in the living Escher painting that's Waxys. Having conducted an independent inquiry I can confirm it was 2 haggis suppers I had but they do do chippy sauce (or at least their own version) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The correct name of the pub is The Toby Juggs. So-called because their policy of employing at least one lassie with massive tits to work behind the bar. That may no longer be the case in these more enlightened times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
