Its on Port Dundas Rd which is just West Nile Street if you keep walking up.

Thanks slow fade, and for the pic ID! (I like to have a personal intro to pubs- went into one just off Paisley Rd W once where all conversation stopped when the two of us got inside, it was just like an American Werewolf in London. Not the turning into a werewolf bit.

Hopefully whoever does take the place on will keep its individual style up and it wont become another ONeils or suchlike.

Let's hope nephew is of the continuing-a-good-thing disposition, not the now-I've-got-my-hands-on-it-and-can-do-a-total-transformation one.

I like pubs where you know that, no matter what, nobody is going to turn up and start playing records loudly when it's obvious that the vast majority of the punters do not want to have to shout at each other to be heard.

They are an increasingly rare find...

Many years ago it was popular with members of Strathclyde Police Pipe Band.

Perhaps soon to be no more.

Ach it changed hands a couple of years ago, they sacked all the great bar staff that I'd known since I was wee, and the place has gone downhill. There is maybe one ale on, and the clientele now includes a large number of thus call centre staff. Who are people too.

Sorry, I'm not with Rab on this one. If he want's to play music in his spare time, that's fine. Why should cooncil tax payers subsidise his hobby?
Music is my hobby Rab, I subsidise it by working like a dog, playing gigs.

I associate its decline from the time when Greene King bought Belhaven and started pushing the likes of St Edmund and Abbot Ale. The beer's been dire since then.
