Forgotten Pubs & Clubs in Glasgow

[Vinegar Tom]

I think it's about time we visited some bars before they disappear and The lampost should be near the top of the list.

Too late for a visit now. Demolition carried out this weekend. I was only able to get there in time for the aftermath:

I have vague memories of going to a Heilin club at the bottom of Byres Rd or across the road once or twice after the pubs shut. Any ideas?

My mother's from the Isle of Eriskay. A lot of the Heilindirs used to meet in the Park Bar.

I also have memories of many a good night.
Myself and a good few others would have floated down from Byres Rd.

Aye, the Mally for a swally. Anyone remember that there was a stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling. And the trapdoor to the cellar was in front of the bar. One false move and bang down you went ::):

I was over that way in the late 70's for an interview, i went into the Mally got a pint & asked if they had any food, aye we've got mince, right mince it is then, the barman put a large pot on a cooker straight accross from me
turnd the gas on took the lid off stirred the mince then went into the back for a plate etc, a cat jumped up to the pot & starts scooping large dods of mince oot it then fks off, barmen comes back & i said cancel the mince pal, there was a cat eating oot the pot, he said aw that's awrite that's a clean cat !!! no fkn jokin he was serious, mince cancelled & 1 barman in a huff, thank fk the cooker wasny in the back shop

Hi folks.

As a young whippersnapper in short trousers, my friends and I used to sit on the wall in Thornliebank's main street at Saturday lunchtime and watch the Old Firm fan's come out of the two pubs which were only a few yards apart. One was for the Bears and one was for the Bhoys. They were going on to the buses which had pulled up outside to take them to their respective matches. It was an education for us as we learned some new words to add to our vocabulary. It was all good natured banter as the fans pretty much all new each other. I think the pubs were Finlaysons and the Arden bar. Maybe someone else remembers these times. In fact, as I have moved away from Thornliebank perhaps someone could say if the fans are still coming out the same pubs on a Saturday before the match.

Best regards...Wee Kenny

The Arden I can remember, but was the other not called the Rowallen?
