Thorizaar Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 The boys have been a breath of fresh air to the Town.I just hope they're not taking on too much,too soon.I was in a few weeks ago on a Wednesday evening and it was mobbed with a waiting time for tables. If that's a normal Wednesday night, they should hopefully do okay with another location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripey Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) The bungalow was the first pub I ever got caught in for under age drinking in 1972. Edited December 23, 2015 by stripey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Rod Stewart (@rodstewart) October 29, 2015 The 70-year-old singer, who has just released his new album Another Country, reminisced about his favourite Scottish bar. He spoke about the Wee Barrel in Paisley saying, "I haven't been there for a while in fact they may have knocked it down. But it really was a good Scottish pub." http://m.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/13924906.Singer_Rod_Stewart_reveals_who_his_favourite_Celtic_FC_player_is_and_where_he_goes_for_a_tipple_in_Scotland/ Edited December 23, 2015 by FS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Very sad to hear about the Wee Barrel closing. Iconic pub on an iconic street. It was also my local while staying in North St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I passed it (Aye, 'passed' it) the very wet Sunday afternoon, after the postponed QoS match. Glancing in, there seemed to be one punter. I felt awfy fragile after the long fitba-less Saturday with my Buddies. My belly was NOT asking for beer. I wandered on to relish the Foontin Gairdens foontin... brilliant sunny Victorian colours in a bleak wintry parkland. (Same Paint cans, I guess, as they had left over after doing the Cotton Street Bridge.) I felt slightly guilty. but it was never one of my regulars. I blame the cheap booze in supermarkets...

Gordon Urquhart Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Iconic pub. Shame it cant be moved closer to GHR/2012 Paisley Stadium/Whatever its called these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Although you have to wonder how much the loss of passing football trade has to do with it, when Love Street closed nearly seven years ago and only offered a fortnightly on average cash injection for a couple of hours either side of the match. I'd say the overall decline in pub attendance, supermarket 12 pack drinkers, smoking ban and the generational shift away from the 'wee howffs' has claimed another victim.

billyg Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I hear Café Borgia will close it's doors for the last time in January. However , another company will purchase it , gut it , and refurbish it , and it will re-open with a new name in the not too distant future !

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Pubs are a dying trade too many along with new drink driving laws ( rightly ) mean you can't drive the next day in fear you fail the breath test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
