Paisley Pubs

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I just don't get the whole craft beer thing.

Beer shouldn't taste like grapefruit,  the water from a vase of flowers  or the syrup from a can of fruit cocktail.

Not Paisley, but The Handy Man in Renfrew been closed from at least last Sat, and the Braehead Tavern in Inchinnan is closing very soon.

Surprised to hear about the BT as it always seems to be quite a busy place

Wasn’t aware of the Braehead tavern closing but doesn’t surprise me. We pop in occasionally, we were in there last Sunday and it was empty .
A couple on our left and the same three guys and a dog who are in there every Sunday. can’t run a pub on that level of support from the locals and precious little passing trade .

Obviously after the same standard of clientele that frequented its previous incarnation.

Wasn't that the last sit-in Chinese restaurant in Paisley?

You can still sit in at The Canton in Johnstone.

Grand fusion just opened in Moss street last week, sit in Chinese restaurant. Just above the noodle bar place. Pretty sure it was a Chinese restaurant years ago (1998)

Was it Palace Royale? I remember being there when the waiters chased someone who had tried to leave without paying.

The reason The Tavern closed was that the owner upped the rent for it to the extent it wasn't viable. The landlord of the pub have moved to a place in the India tyres complex. I only bring this up now because I saw some folk in the Braehead yesterday tidying things up. I don't know if it was just that or if they've found new tenants to take over.

Update on my previous post. Just heard  that the owner of Chalk autos has apparently bought the Braehead Tavern and is in the process of refurbishing it. Good news for the village.

Think it was? We would go in on a Saturday night after the pubs and get a great chicken curry and a window seat. Looked into the early learning centre (administration some years ago)

Was it the Anchor that shut due to neighbours complaining about the noise?
