Edstar101 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Cant be ersed reading all the posts...is the Lamplight still around (I used to work there)? Played for a team that was sponsored by the Railway Tavern years ago, down the side of the Queens Hotel - many a quality night in there. Used to invite the opposition back for a few bevvies and it would turn into a darts / pool challenge with the boozer supplying quality nosh for the troops Not enough pubs with a dartboard and a (proper) pool table these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ah the memories here. My first pub pint was in the Vic in 1970s when I was 14. I also remember the High Level and the dingy one just round the corner, Lamplight was it?The Grampian on Sunday afternoons. Robert Halpern made this daft burd crunch away on an onion thinking it was an apple. Ali Rennie pishin' himself laughin at some hypnotised guy gettin up to dance the CanCan hours after the show ended. Jane's ugly dug.Tellin people ye didnae like to meet ye at the Friarton Inn.Sex with some ginger haired Stanley lassie in the toilet at the Silver Broom.The log bar in the Yorkie, and a mass brawl with the Craigie boys.The Half a Tanner when it was the steeple.Fighting half the Inchhead fitba team in the Sally after we won the Norrie Miller Cup.The best of all - "CogieOke" at the Market bar with all the minkers dressed up to the nines "once ah wis afraiddddd - ah wis petri fy i i d"....brilliant days.The Silver Broom.Now called Cargo.

HOODLUM65 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Not old enough to remember it, but the Balmoral Bar at Castle Gable is no more. SLF may recall drinking there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gussie Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 BC's post of 2010 sums it up a fair bit for me! Is the Bee Bar still there? I remember the Auld Hoose when they took orders for meat. "Black and Tan and a pund o mince!" Can't remember the names of the old lads behind the bar, but they knew their trade. The meat was supplied by Tay Valley Meats - just wondering if they are still trading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jings Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 The Glennie was still on the go around 1973. I had a pint in there with my old man, when I was about 17, and home on leave. I remember it well, as it was the only time I had a drink with him in a boozer. He died when I was 19, and I was stationed in Germany.

HOODLUM65 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Going into the Glennie in the sixties there seemed to be a lot of hot tottie.(no not the drink) Remember it was the swinging sixties, age of the mini skirt (no, not mine) and free love. Was a shy teenager at the time, but I'm just about growing out of it.( ha ha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
