homerjag Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Unbelievable, tried to get into the Strathy after the game, only be told by the bouncer "No, we're too busy", despite the fact we'd all been in prior to the game and spoke to the staff about coming back in. Despite the fact we could blatantly see it wasn't full, bad man disagreed and while the discussion ensued, he welcomed other Jags fans in.......... Not a very good second impression.

Wait till next time when there's no rugby on and see how keen they are to encourage Jags fans in. Why the feck do they need a bouncer anyway?

scotty Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 From what I gather they're trying to change the clientele. I got knocked back last Saturday evening and the place was half empty. Locals don't feel too welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjag Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 The guy was a clown, with not an ounce of common sense, or an ability to recognise he made a mistake. Had he not let the other people into "the busy bar"He has quite possibly put us off going back in......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Was in the S & G before the U20s game the other night and a lad came in and mention he was charged £4.35 for a pint of lager in the Strathmore. I suppose it was a premium lager but seems rather OTT for Maryhill. btw does Stephan King own the premises? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I celebrated our victory today by watching the rugby with draft dark Budweiser at 1.80 Euro. Where's Gary Peebles tackle when you need him.

Blackpool Jags Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Shocker. If delved into deeply enough, I think we'd find that there are covenants in existence which specify that the Strathy must only ever be a Thistle pub; must not have knuckle draggers sporting hi-viz coats in front of house; must under no circumstances not have the cheapest lager in Maryhill on sale; must have no fire safety limit; must never have Jags fans inside as a minority (strictly enforced on match days); must never be owned as part of a chain; and must provide sandwiches and sausage rolls, gratis, at or around 5pm on match days. Wee Billy would never have let the place go to wrack and ruin like this. I give it another 6 months, tops.

Lindau Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Is it just me Homer, but why don't you go to the Aitken and give your money to the club, rather than Stefan feckin King? Edited October 4, 2015 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjag Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Also nae Tennents lager, instead they have house lager (£3 a pint), which is Belhaven lager........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 thought the pictures of the place looked nice on their Facebook page. then I read some of the comments.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Nice pint of Schiehallion pre match. £4.00 so not too bad. Had a Tennents in the Aitken Suite after the game. It was not too bad either. Place was pretty busy with the eggby and the player zone and all the new balls to get signed by Tommy and Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hello! How can I help?!? Are you still involved down at Finnieston, GPT? Great pub, which is the only place in Glasgow that I have come across that serves dark Bud on draught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) The draft Half and Half in the Brass is the bee's knee's. Haven't been for a while though! Edited October 4, 2015 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Heard dreadful reports about their snobby exclusive door policy. Basically not letting anyone that they don't like the look of. Telling folk that it's "students only" after 7pm. What a load of bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Telling folk that it's "students only" after 7pm. . Sounds quite a fun place. So a non student can maybe get in before 7pm. But after that hour if you're not aimlessly picking away at beer mats and stuffing empty pint glasses in your coat pocket, you're out the door? Weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 The draft Half and Half in the Brass is the bee's knee's. Haven't been for a while though! Sadly the Dark Budvar is hard to get now, so the half & half has bitten the dust! Shame as it was great! We do, however, have a fine array of other delights (including a new lager from Fyne Ales - only place in Glasgow you can get it!), so you won't go thirsty... No door stewards either & plenty of wallopers, so all welcome! Haha! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I see that the old Crosslands is being done up as we speak with lots of wood panelling on the outside, apparently going to be another one of these trendy bars selling "gourmet burgers". Sad to see these traditional working class establishments being replaced by these drab, identikit over priced corporate hang outs. Quite sad when you speak to folk in their early to mid twenties who think every pub that's not owned by G1 is "full of jakeys" or "dodgy". I remember my old man telling stories of the Strathmore being a great mix of Maryhill locals and students from the neighbouring halls every night of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
