No one has mentioned the Dowanhill yet - free jazz on Thursday and Sunday evenings. Cheap booze and worchester sauce coated peanuts behind the bar, what more do you need?

Stumps, nearby on Peel Street, is of similar size to Fiddlers and worth a visit too.

It used to be called The Manhattan and was owned at one time by the same family that ran the Rogano.

I was in the Victoria Bar tonight for a pint of Bellhaven Light and a bag of crisps all for £2.60. E$ the channel of choice for pubs with a clientèle with an average age of 55 was showing the UK top 40 for the year. Joe Streetwalker does not get served according to a note written by Patsy.

What happened to the Etrick and the Call Inn? As you can tell I haven't been in Partick since the mid 90s!

The original "Ettrick" was further down Dumbarton Rd. opposite from Crow Rd.The one you're referring to was called the "Criterion" known by "some" as the "Cry" I asked a wee question about the name "Criterion" in relation to the cafe of the same name.Trouble is ah canny mind where.Senior moments eh!

The Call Inn was part of the bingo before it was refurbished.

Thought I'd mention the Thornwood as no-one else has, usually very quiet (during the day at least) and the outside tables seem to attract the rowdier element from the inside. Does snacks too, great location halfway between Victoria Park and Partick which suits a quick drink, most of the customers appear to be regulars, a quiet, no hassle pub

The Thornwood "boasts" of having a couple og HGrs as regulars.

Ettrick is now Hesienberg and the Partick Tavern is The Partick Brewing Company. Brudar has changed its sign the Butterfly and Pig West.

i was in there on sunday.also the three judges,the quarter gill and the fiddler.

the thornwood.
this was the last oasis before the notorious dry area of whiteinch,where a majority of residents had exercised their democratic rights under the temperance scotland act of 1913 and had voted in 1924 to keep the area free of the nefarious drink traffic.it survives in remarkably good condition and has a vitrolite exterior in primrose and black wit a neon illuminated fascia.the interior untouched by the improver is delightfully evocative of its period with dark walnut veneered panelling and ceiling laylights.the architect was james taylor and the shopfitter james rodger.from glasgow art deco by rudolph kenna.1985.

A lot of the original art deco stuff went. I was too lazy to put an objection in and of course no one else objected either.
