slf Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Is it any co-incidence SLF that the hostelries you refer to all closed down or had to change their name.

Gussie Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Good to see the Plough Inn mentioned in despatches. I did my drinking apprenticeship there with Drew Falconer and a shed load of others then. Good place in those days. The PA published a list of shut pubs a while ago: (2011)  The bodycount of Perth pubs includes the Star Bar, Railway Tavern, St Leonards, The Clachan, Atholl Arms, The White Horse, The Kings Arms, Feus Hoose, The Gowrie Bar, Hal o’ the Wynd, The Friarton Inn, Plough Inn, Riverside Inn and, more recently, the Bridgend, which is understood to be reopening soon.  Despite offering patrons cheaper bar prices, various clubs have also bitten the dust – the Perth Memorial Club, Royal Army Service Corps Club, the Polish Club, Black Watch Club, the Celtic Supporters’ Club, St Johnstone Supporters Club on Dunkeld Road, Kinnoull Club and the Railway Club.  Suspect there's been more casualties since then.

AthensSaint Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Is the Perthshire Rugby Club Social Club still open. Use to be in the building next to Bell Sports Center. Use to be some good "discos" in the early eighties. Though do remember one very tragic incident from thirty years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Is the Perthshire Rugby Club Social Club still open. Use to be in the building next to Bell Sports Center. Use to be some good "discos" in the early eighties. Though do remember one very tragic incident from thirty years back.  The Rugby Club and Bells Sports Centre are basically one building now as they have built in the space between them and the new entrance to both is there. There is no cafe in Bells, but is now in the Rugby Club bit. There is still a bar through the back, but in all the times I have been in the cafe (it's a regular haunt with the kids when in Perth) I don't think I have ever been aware of anybody in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 The bar in the back was okay in the good old days. Plenty crumpet on the search for a rugger buggar ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know Drew Falconer, you'll likely know my old boy - Stewart Fairlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Zissou Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Brennans was a bit of a dump, and always dead in recent years, so not surprised it eventually closed. The Venue is owned by the folks who have The Green Room, which has been doing pretty well. I think they had initially intended to open a place at the entrance to the shopping centre where Café Noir used to be. Anyway the new bar has a micro brewery and a gin bar. I've only seen pictures of the new place, but it certainly looks an improvement on Brennans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
