Mediocre Pundit Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 It closed at the start of the month mate. Never been in but it always seemed to have a decent number of customers. Bit like Sevco maybe No way! Having posted about it I was giving serious consideration to going there for my lunch tomorrow. Seems strange as, like you say, it always seemed busy. I wonder which Partick Cross property has had the most occupants in the last five years - the one that was Bruadar or the one that was Pinata? They both change at a ridiculous frequency.

Sam Leitch Loyal Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You pair are going to be steaming by the time you get to Firhill! Have you ever watched Dumbarton sober? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanarkjag Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I've a mate (no, really, I do) who's thinking of coming along but the important question is: what's the nearest real-ale - and I DO NOT MEAN DEUCHERS - pub to Firhill? It's also my squeaky-bum match. If you want a decent real ale pub the Bon Accord at Charing X just above the M8 (Mitchell Library side) is superb. They also have some Jags stuff kicking around the pub as well IIRC. We should beat Dumbarton easily - this usually means that we will lose in true Partick Thistle style (is it not a club tradition?). Would love to be there but have other commitments over the weekend that clash. Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancipital Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 No way! Having posted about it I was giving serious consideration to going there for my lunch tomorrow.

They both change at a ridiculous frequency. If you want to extend it a wee bit, the one that's now the Brewdog pub opposite the Art Galleries must have had about 8 or 9 different incarnations in the last 12 years. If the Brewdog thing doesn't work there I can't see anything doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collins Out! Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 State Bar in Holland Street is also good for real ales. Usually have three or four guest ales in. £3 a pint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Have you ever watched Dumbarton sober? Er no. But I'll be sober this Saturday as driving. Trust me, we will horse them; perhaps extra motivation given who is their Club Secretary and the reasons why she left Thistle? 4-0 Edited August 19, 2012 by sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Er no. But I'll be sober this Saturday as driving. Trust me, we will horse them; perhaps extra motivation given who is their Club Secretary and the reasons why she left Thistle? 4-0 Seriously? You think that will motivate players who were not even at Firhill more than the desire to make it 9 points out of 9?

The Earl of Hathaway Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Gotta say that the beer selection and quality in the Curlers Rest is excellent, although more expensive than Tennents. Brewdog defintely worth a visit - 10 mins. along Kelvin Way and you're on Great Western Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toaster Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 heres hoping for a good turn out, suggest that every member on here drags at least one extra body along even if it is just stealing someones kid(s) for the afternoon) trying to convince the wife to come along even if its to perv over Simon Donnelly for 90 minutes rather than support the jags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lin1876 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Dumbarton have had a shocking start, and based on their Twitter feed on Saturday (I was at home because I couldn't get a bus to Dunfermline in time) they're giving away needless goals left, right and centre. Basically, if you push them they'll crack. Still, they pose some attacking threat. One of their guys is a good set-piece taker (scored from a corner last season) and they keep fighting. It has banana skin written all over it, but if we get ahead early on we'll probably not look back. Our front line could cause their leaky defence some massive headaches, and we need to use that.

MerryHell Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 that poster is setting us up for a major fail! Yeah, I've known what I wanted it to say since the Falkirk game, but thought I'd have to reconsider around the 87th minute at Hampden! We are now 9 games unbeaten in the league and cup going back to April14th against Raith - nothing like having a bit of optimism! We're trying to get people along to the match that are lapsed/neutral/just wanting to see a decent game of football, so we've got to focus on the positives.

Watson Towers Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 ...If it is real ale you are looking for, then I would head along to the Doublet. As long as you don't mind the most minging boozer toilets in the West end. Smells like a jaikie's pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
