HSS Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 The Craigilea Bar,the nearest pub to St Mirren Park,has had to close permanently after the recent fire. The owners now hope to relocate the pub across the road to the former premises of the Campbeltown and Islay/Inshot/Republica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Any money (insurance or otherwise...) would be useful in the redecoration/refurbishment of that in-shot. And would be a bigger/better internal space than Craigielea. a good move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only £2-75 for a Tennent which as much as I like a cheap pint, it may draw in the lowlifes of the town ( yes, no doubt they wouldn't want to drink next to me either ) I counted 6 tellies from my point at the bar and was likely more, so for live football it would be good. Seen a saint fan with his top on putting 2 full pints onto to the bar and telling the barman he can have them before walking out but don't know what was the issue was with him.

I was in earlier today and it was very busy for a Sunday afternoon. Possibly boosted by a holiday weekend.Also seemed to be a number of folks in their Sunday best - the aftermath of a christening or similar?Also a wee Stevie Mallan appearance, I'm hoping this is an asda linwood type moment.

Cheers HSS. Must be a major refurb as it looked totally gutted. Borgia still looks a long way from finished as well from the little you can see from outside.

Kilpatrick's offices were round the back, the other side of the white wall you can see on the far right. I don't recall them being in the building mentioned, though they may have been at some point. The training centre and workshop fronted on to Bridge st and the offices were in the old building you refer to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
