Brilliant wee video, I'm 55 and remember so many of these places as a young girl out on the town ! thanks a lot for this.. My dad used to be a musicien in the pubs all over Glasow and as a Kid I was allowed to come along.. packet of crisps and put in a corner out of eyes way..
+sandra tinney How wonderful...I'm 60 and I know just what you mean...there was always a musician with a child in toe...
Glad you enjoyed it Sandra. The internet is a great tool for so many.. also many bad parts but mostly good. Have a blessed day and blessed Xmas.. love from Newcastle x

This is an amazing piece of history. I don't know how you did this but thank you!
? st enoch sq, wasn,t it the square peg
no 'Burns Howff?? the great scottish bands played there. Maggie Bell and Stone the Crows, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Bay City Rollers etc
My favourite nightclub was panama jax
A grip down memory lane right enough, I lost count of how many of these I spent every Friday and Saturday nights in and I knew most staff and regulars by name ..... Even though I'm completely T.T. And always have been I've never say in any pub for entertainment. Any guesses ??? Ok I'm a salvationist and from mid teens to early 50's my Friday and Saturday nights were spent selling the war cry and young soldier. First in Anderston, city centre, kelvinhaugh, area then Easterhouse and out lying districts Ballieston, Moodiesburn, then back to Bridgeton and tight down to Barras area finally Shettleston so as you can see covered a fair bit of city over the years met a few characters in the pubs and clubs of Glasgow on my way through life retired now and still don't drink still salvationist and still think there's something special about the Glasgow folks. Did same in other places but never the same buzz as in Glasgow
Hope your well - lovely post
The Dial Inn!! I haven’t thought about that place in years! I used to work on Renfield Street and that’s where we all went after work, saw a very young Simple Minds play there in the early 80’s. Some good memories of some other pubs as well.
Fun fact. I was at school with John Gorevan in the 70’s
JOHN LENNON of the Beatles was in a pub where I was able to chat with him....He was so different in 1962....We had 3 pints dark ale apiece, his Rickenbacker needed work on it, and I watched as he worked on it, I think it was a 1959 instrument, can't remember exactly...He told me about a tune he wrote called NOT A SECOND TIME...GEORGE HARRISON had broken a guitar as he left it out on the rear of the motorcar they were travelling in....I met PAUL, and we all enjoyed 3 pints together of Scottish dark ale......I remember Ringo was shorter than John, AND PAUL...HE WAS ALWAYS EATING GRAPES...WE ENJOYED A SCOTTISH BREAKFAST TOGETHER BEFORE THEY LEFT, I NEVER GOT TO SAWR THEM AGAIN....
God the memories of the good old days thanks 👍
Can anyone tell me if the Zanzi-Bar Disco became Tiffanys nighclub in the 80's, it looks very familar. I worked in Gallogate building a cold store for McKeller Watt. We had some great nights singing 'Oh Flower of Scotland' in there. I remember many of these bars vividly. My dear Mum, Mary was from Castle St, and my dear Pops from East end of London, but always remain proud of my Scottish ancestry too. Thanks for sharing this.
It was Tiffanys before it became the Zanzibar
john Irving Thanks for confirming that for me, John.
Yes Tiffanys NIghtclub became Zanzi-Bar
thanks for video, i was brought up in glasgow in the 70s...the pubs down the town or toon always had an arcade room for the kids,still remember all the merry family pals giving us plenty of money for sweets , or the time ma ma' and da' were at the 50 STICHES PUB, you can imagine why it was called like this...not only cause it was where there once were 50 pitches...so many stories to remember...viva Glasgow
Amazing just how few pubs are left. Thanks for the upload
I loved this.......took me right back. In the 70's I was an apprentice in Scottish studios and Engravers, Clyde St. We got luncheon vouchers and Morrisons bar did spam fritters and chips. lol And The Eagle...........I loved it in there!!!! Memories. :)
BloodyMary412 oh Spam fritters and chips. Yum yum ! Memories!
“And if ye play yer cards right hen I’ll take you to that new fish n chicken bar beside the Pavilion “.
Too blurry for my liking. But I suppose it looks like the pubs look as you're leaving with a skinful!
brilliant work sir!
If your looking for more subscribers
Get your act together way the small print that appears, you can't make it out, pish
Coggans, Coat of Arms, Tolbooth Bar, that architecture above it really neat. Any1 know if it's still there, ie the build & what Streets it's on? I remember Charlie Parkers. Like Yanish trying 2 remember a pub just down from Lunar Seven, was V colonial inside w/pillars, palm plants & I think brown armchairs, thot it was called the Forum, any1 know.
I recognised a few, I would go with my mum, pre Karaoke, late teens early 20's to what she called "Honky Tonk Bars" with an organist, mostly vamping, but i am sure they could do more. Oriental , House of Lords, Bannisters and anywhere with a microphone thanks for the memories.
Steps Bar - Glassford Street.
Variety Bar - Sauchiehsll Street.
The Variety bar was cool so was the Griffen,don't stay there anymore but l hope nowt much has changed? Are they dug friendly? If not we ain't goin

All the best. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎
The urinary was the person's pocket next to you 🤫👍

This is great.Thanks John.
My father had The Logan Bar on Rutherglen Rd in the 60's and early 70's.
Hi Donald, Thanks for the comment. Can you tell me more about your father and the Logan Bar and do you have an image of him that I could use for my website. Cheers John Gorevan
Hi Donald please get in touch with me at john@oldglasgowpubs.co.uk about your father?
@@johngorevan4141 It is unfortunate that Donald has not responded yet, John. Wishing him and his all the best, as I do to yours and you.
Thank you. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎
I didn't like the muzak but at least Cairns is still around.
A fascinating array of Glasgow pubs ! Although I lived both in the city itself and nr. Paisley at different times from 1975-86, I only seem to recognize a handful of them, despite visiting numerous bars thereabouts in the city centre. I guess that many of them have long gone now ; I was very fond of the Old Eagle shown on your film, which was demolished for some reason - good beer and lots of character. All of this brings back some pleasant memories of G'gow. Thanks for compiling and posting this.
Great shits of old Glasgow pubs.... READ NEXT THE REAL GORBALS STORY NEXT BRILLIANT 👍

It's amazing the memories a simple photo can invoke...great stuff...love the soundtrack....

The Waterloo at 21.28 was in Waterloo St,not the same bar as the next picture and The Westering Winds was on the Briggait not Bridgeton,still enjoyed watching this.
I surely appreciate you putting the pubs et al. in alphabetical order, Jamie. Thank you.

Great stuff, thank you for posting this. I'm only familiar with Glasgow the last 30-odd years and I remember lots of those pubs. Many must have gone fairly recently.

Can anyone remember the wee pub next door to the lunar seven on buchanan street.in between the pig and whistle and the lunar.tho the pig was maybe called something else.Early 70s.Loved the wee pub.and wracked my brains for a long long time to get it.just wondrin if any else can.hopd it was on this clip.Only a few feet from the corfu.oh if only the camera had ventured down the street a bit.
yanishmakaro There was the Scott Bar which was the public bar of the Ivanhoe Hotel then moving uphill the Antica Roma which was a cocktail bar (only served half pints) and it became the famous Pig and Whistle, then there was a chippy then the Lunar Seven on the corner. I can’t think of any others.
@@davidwhite6142 was there not a 'Bogie's Bar' for a while all chrome, Formica and mirrors
Unwatchable, fuzzy film and unreadable titles.
Let's be brutally frank about it: Back in the sixties and seventies most of these pubs were grotty hovels, about as welcoming as a dose of the clap. The beer was usually crap. The food, if there was any, was usually a dried up pie that had been sitting in a display heater for the last three days. Most of the customers were dross and treated as such by the publicans. They were called shops in the licensed trade, because that's what they were... shops where people went to get filled up with a bit of cheap booze and... errrrrrrr, that's it. No wonder they're mainly closed. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
graham lait I was a cop in Glasgow I heartily concur.😀😀
So graham I take it you didn't like Glasgow Pubs in the 60s and 70s
Ha ha but I trust your telling the truth
Looking for the name of pup in Shawlands with big crossbow out side
The Doune Castle.
The Bank on Queen St takes me back...There's still of them old gems still around...
