I'm pretty sure it's still going. A great pub, though I haven't been in since before the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted Thursday at 17:45 Share Posted Thursday at 17:45 Mind now folks, I’m talking here about ‘back in the day’, approximately 1978 - 1984 when young, free, single, and so on… as I was brought up in Johnstone, our nights out absolutely went in this direction. The further East we headed, the bigger the night out… 1. Local quick beer type of night out - Cochrane House, Lynnhurst Hotel, or Osprey Bar, Johnstone/Spateston. 2. A few more beers and a takeaway Chinese type of night out - Coanes Wine Bar, Sophies, Johnstone. 3. Feeling more adventurous at the weekend - into Paisley. 4. Premier League night out - Glasgow. Centre Court Bar, La Marelle, Cardinal Folly. Full bhoona white jaikets’ with sleeves rolled up, 1980s hair… the works. Happy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted Thursday at 17:59 Share Posted Thursday at 17:59 Lived in a wee village as a youngster in the early nineties, so a Saturday would see a wee trip a couple of miles down the road to Bellshill and the frequenting of Franklyns and the Carousel, before crossing the road for late drinks and loose women in Charlie's. A bigger night out would be to Hamilton, starting in Jilts or the Stonehouse then stoating round to the Palace. A trip into the big smoke of Glasgow would inevitably end up with a visit to the very upmarket Bonkers, where I once stood queueing for the bar and a guy next to me was quite openly and vigorously fingering a young lady. You just can't buy class like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can't buy class like that. Bonkers was the most appropriately named venue of them all. I knew a guy who worked there for a whole 3 shifts - the first one, someone got glassed right in front of him; the second someone got stabbed; and he finally decided it wasn't for him when a gang fight started on his third. And they were probably quiet nights . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us that never went, that cheap and cheerful film Sky did of it years ago, including the interview with Chris (?), is worth its weight in gold. Britain's Roughest Pubs or something... can't even remember the other entries! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was called The Anchorage. This place looked like a work canteen. No real decor to speak of and very plain furniture. Does anyone know if it still there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It belonged to the Scottish footballing God that was Gordon Smith. Named for his position on the pitch, not his political views. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
