Cookie Monster Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 When I was 14-15, I sold the evening times in pubs (well before the internet) all over Paisley. However Cookie Monster is maybe a wee bit older than me? so has a depth of knowledge around pubs I can only aspire too. Hmmm. I don’t know about that. He is a year younger than me IIRC. I thought you were ancient.If you're in your early 40's then you'd be correct. [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked "the wee barrel" always thought it was a dump. "Wee Howf" best pub in Paisley. Liked "Pillars' years ago and "Carnaiges" will never be beaten... Happier times Game at the Racecourse, last 20 mins at Love St Then head in Carnaiges for the Happy Hour which lasted a few hours Swing band then Karoke and the Saints players would come in Big Basher and wee Jose listening where they went wrong that afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew them well , Owen , the late Alan Erskine and me hung about together for a while , even went on holiday. Eamonn was head of Airfield Ops at Stansted Airport until he sadly took his own life. Owen's old boy , Big Tony , who owned the Alamo, passed away during the past week ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbriansaint72 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Remember watsons although it was a no no according to my mate as his mum and her fella drank in there haha. Used to start off at station bar, then workers, the finlay's for the sangria jugs( ok until you started getting stuck into the fruit😉) then eventually ending up in carnegies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you exited Cannes and went right, the entrance to Backchat was up a rather steep set of stairs. It took a lot of concentration to get up them whilst pished under the gaze of the bouncers. Any stumbles and you were out on your arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
