FTOF Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Here's one for you .........'the centurion 'I am told is maybe the place name ? I think my cousin worked there. I believe that's what it was called before it became hip and trendy, with a requirement for wearing the "Miami vice" jacket and t-shirt ensemble.

whydowebother Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think at some point most people had been in Paris (silk st) The Garage & Body shop Paris started the underage nights which gave the under 18s a taste of nightlife. Me and a good mate from Foxbar spent our teens in The Garage good nights were had. Tried the Cotton Club but only once , tried Toledo junction a couple of times. Hard for some to believe but Paisley was a good night out in the 80s Where did it all go wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno , Paisley just seems empty now compared to back then , it is almost deserted even at the weekends and one can only assume that buddies go elsewhere for a night out. .

shull Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I drove a lot of punters from Penilee, Cardonald, etc to Harvies Showbar in the late 1980's early 1990's. Very popular place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for some to believe but Paisley was a good night out in the 80s Where did it all go wrong ? Used to frequent Paris when it was still called Valentinos. It was a popular pulling spot for a number of Saints players. Met 'whaurs the burds' there on several occasions, before he got the taste for London nightlife.

Hard for some to believe but Paisley was a good night out in the 80s Where did it all go wrong ? Wondered that myself many times. My time of clubbing was mid nineties to about 2005 and there were easily 10 clubs when I started and loads of decent pubs. Really don't know what happened but there were always people from all over the place in town. Shawlands these days seems to have the nightlife now that we used to have.

Vambo57 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Where did it all go wrong ? Carnegies - brilliant! Wednesday, Thur, Fri, Sat and Sund night I spent in there - you couldn't afford that noo a days!!! "Paisley did have a time eh , where did it all go Pete tong" Prices and the Smoking ban. I warned folk that the smoking ban would be the final coffin... "Nah" they said " Pubs will fill with non-smokers. You Know? The ones that don't go to pubs now because they don't want to smell like auld ashtrays?" well... where the f**k are yees? The Social Clubs have died a death too, because of the smoking ban primarily IMO. No place for an auld biddie tae go and have a fag and a hauf-n-hauf... Shame on you stay at home non-smokers.. You have reaped what you wished sown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) A good wee pub for me on a Friday when I was about 18 was Harvey's up Glasgow road. I used to as a teen work in fine fare/Gateway was a smashing wee pub to fall into right beside work they usually had a band on if I recall ? Ach those were the days eh ? There was and still is some fantastic people in Paisley , certainly much more good than bad , I would love the towns night life to be 'reclaimed' by the decent folk !

FTOF Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Cannes in Forbes Place was a another place I frequented in the 80's, then upstairs to Backchat. The bean bags were difficult to cope with when you were pished. Used to converse with Mr.McAvennie in there quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 In my teens, it was Watermill Hotel on Friday and Saturday nights. Friars Hall on Sunday night with the Normandy Hotel on Monday night. Plus the Tudor Arms on a Saturday before and after our games, those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the Tudor Arms on a Saturday before and after our games, those were the days Used to go to the Watermill on a Friday night for a spell when I was 18/19. Met Dave McPherson on his stag night in there. It was just him and Craig Moore. We used to nip up to the The Friars on a Saturday night as it opened later than the pubs in the town centre. Spent most of the night trying to deflect peanuts from entering your pint. Edited April 3, 2014 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Shuttles in......err......Shuttle St used to be open til 2am every night of the week!!!! The Earl of Cranby and The Latin Quarter were at their peak at the same time as Shuttles. I'm beginning to think that I've frequented a lot of pubs in the past and that's not even mentioning the endless hours spent in Corkers when the football team I ran played out of there for 7 years.
