Ryries Bar, looks like it's to go according to this:-

I have enjoyed a pint or two in there in my time; very sad and that hotel looks awful!

I had a pint in there for the first time on Wednesday, good pint it was too.

haud on, haud on, it says its to be "built on a gap site" and the Scotsman says it "will be built on the site of the former Morrison Street goods yard." ...presumably it's that bit across the road

It's always been a maroon and white/Geordie hen night clientele when I've been in.
