davidg Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I remember a cosy wee boozer and an impressively stacked barmaid, wait hold on , that doesn't really help either !? I could be mixing up drinking in the Bull's wee snugs with drinking in "The Ferriers" , hmmm, seemed about the same size.....must have been some night. Maybe it was during the Hendrie promotion season ,2000 ??? That might explain it I thought Ferriers closed well before 2000? I don't ever remember being old enough to drink in it?

Maybe it was during the Hendrie promotion season ,2000 ??? That might explain it I went to the game against Aberdeen that season where the late Zerouali scored a stunning goal. Bought my tickets outside the ground and then it was Carnegie's for after game beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Was it also called Faithers or In Laws or was I on the snakebite too? I certainly remember it as In-Laws in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappy coco Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Was it also called Faithers or In Laws or was I on the snakebite too? The Faithers was the old Campbelltown Islay..aka Innshot...aka Madagascar, a complete shithole of a pub.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorizaar Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I used to go to Ferriers for lunch when at uni between 93 and 97 and I'm sure it closed towards the end of that period. Great wee pub and the best pub food in town. I remember having a rabbit dish there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Blair Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I did a night class at Paisley Uni 2000-2001 and Farriers, as it was called then, was still open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 How I wish the old Tudor Arms could reopen as it was during the eighties with the Bislands brothers and family still running it. For younger buds it was imho the best pub in the town for pub grub as well being a great saint pub. Sitting in the front lounge with the wife then going to the toilet and returning via the bar or back lounge with an other vodka down the throat made her think I couldn't handle the bevvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 New signage up on the Station Bar ... Chef`s World Buffet I walked by there a couple of weeks ago when they were refurbishing it.

HSS Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 You used to get a lot of last minute fans in the afternoon closing days.Last orders meant go to the football or go to the bookies.Of course you were allowed to take drink in with you back then.Deans Off Sales in Love St must have taken a fortune between 2:30 + 3pm!!!

McMillans roll, thickly buttered with a sizeable slice with gravy (and onions if you wished), they cured many a hangover. The steak pie and braised steak lunches were exceptional too, maybe it's just notalgia but I rarely enjoy pub grub today in the way that I did in the TA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, many a Friday night we would drive up to the Paraffin Lamp, pay 50p and get half a sausage roll on a napkin, just to get to drink until 11.15pm. Happy days!

Miss Saint Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Was it also called Faithers or In Laws or was I on the snakebite too? was that no up the west end? Reading thru the last few pages its guid to see more pubs and eating places coming into town so could we just get the high street etc sorted and lets make this a wee fab wee town please! The Wallace being a snooker hall sounds good - not that I play but its too big a building in a prominent spot to be lay empty and snooker hall would be something different.
