Norman Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 In your humble opinion. Which is the best Pub to watch football and mingle with other Jags fans before the match? I rather think that it's my decision whether my opinion is humble or not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearny_jag Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I like somewhere with plenty of screens to watch any of the earlier games. The Woodside only seems to show BBC games most of the time although they did show Man U v Reading after the game last week. The best place I found for this is the Rock on Hyndland road although as mentioned in an earlier post its not as close to the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydebankJag Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Coopers on Gr Western Rd has lots of tellys and lots of space so no problem seeing the footie on the telly. Not really a gathering place for Jags fans tho, I imagine any pre/post match singing would get you thrown out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated, is good if you want to watch the saturday lunchtime or evening game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Leitch Loyal Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 If you like having your pint pulled by a glamorous blonde (ooh, err, missus) then it has to be the Woodside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 The Landsdowne is a decent pub for after the football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Putin Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The Star and Garter and Munns (which apparently is now closed? It was actually the last pub I was in pre-match, before Falkirk in August) are both absolute toilets. I prefer the Belle on Great Western Road, excellent beer, closer to the ground either The Woodside or Crosslands are acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent pint, plenty Jags fans, a few hundred yards from the ground and no where near as dingy since it's lick of paint last year. Wouldn't stay too long afterwards but perfectly fine for a quick pint or two before games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear Claridge's are opening up a new gaff on Garscube Road - maybe you and your mate Abramovich can drop in on your way to the polo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's against the forum rules to criticise the Star and Garter, but the original post did begin with 'in your humble opinion', and mine is that the Star is an upholstered men's room. Both Crosslands and the Woodside are close to the ground and a vast improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G SUS Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 The Star and Garter is an absolute dump. Munns was a dump before they shut down. The Woody was quite good but then lost Sky Sports. I now head into City Centre for my beer, and late night football fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Great to see the posh west end jags fan stereotype being well and truly upheld on this forum. Football has been totally gentrified and sanitised amongst many fans. Me, I prefer boozers with a bit of character, with jags memorabilia on the walls, and proper jags fans at the bar. Some of the photos that the star have, I bet the club don't even have copies themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 The Star and Garter is an absolute dump. Thanks for the info but having been drinking in bars since 1967, owning and running a pub plus also having a further 15+ years or so calling on licensed premises I completely disagree.

It's my opinion. You can have all the experience and expertise you want, but if I don't like it i won't drink in it.

Charlie Endell Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Haven't been in the S&G for about 20 years. Usually just have a few in the city centre then jump the bus up. I sampled the Brass Monkey last Monday on recommendations from here - hmmm, not my sort of boozer.

read'n'yell Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 My pre-match pint is consisting of warm Stella export on a packed train. Jags fans in Glasgow don't realise how lucky they are! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Called in at the Star and Garter for the first time before yesterday's game. Good pint of Belhaven Best, the place full of Thistle supporters, and plenty of interesting Jags memorabilia on the walls. Definitely a good atmosphere for a pre-match pint and a place to mingle with Thistle supporters, and only 5 min from Firhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 With Munns being shut the S&G is the nearest to the ground. Good pub but I like the Woody the best. Let's face it we're totally spoiled for pubs (and ahem... cough .. west end luvvie bistros and what have you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtastic Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Notice S&G had the sky back on yesterday. Possibly a direct result of increased business with munns closing. Definitely a big plus being able to catch the lunchtime game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancipital Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The Woody does have Sky / ESPN back and has for a few weeks now. They still never have enough bar staff on and the Tennent's lager is flat as Keira Knightly's décolletage. I think if I was only going to Firhill for an occasional visit then I'd make a day of it in Byres Rd / West End and get a taxi up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
