It was actually a guy called Brian Douglas who owned Minstrels at the time that the re-formed SAHB played there and did their live recording.

It was a damn good wee pub for live music. The regular Saturday afternoon band "Zenith" had the place rocking every week. The nail in the coffin was when the tenement next door (and above the smaller bar area) had structural damage and the pub had to be shut for about a year. Business was never the same, I think, after it re-opened. I remember doing sound for a band called "Glass Onion" who went on to become Travis.

Leon owned it in the eighties when it was called the waterfront?

There was a football team called the Minstrels who played out of it. Possibly from maryhill.

It was known as Leon's Waterfront for a time.

There was a pub called Stevedores and Tailors (Stevie Taylors) in Parliamentary Road just opposite the old Dundas Street Bus Station. It went in the mid-70s when the area was redeveloped. Rough & ready but a good pint.

Loads of pubs were razed in Springburn in the mid-70s. The Boundary Bar on the corner of Hawthorn St and Springburn Road, the original Shevlanes which has moved a few hundred yars up the road. Quin's by the bundy opposite the swing park at the (then) bottom of Balgrayhill Road junction with Springburn Road. It had a sister pub at Bishopbriggs Cross (still there). Smiths about 50 yards along from Quin's. I think there was also Thompsons and doubtless many others.

The Manor in Bishopbriggs. It started as a Reo Stakis Steakhouse in the late 60s and over the years often changed from a restaurant with a bar to a pub that did food and back again. I can't remember when it stopped being Stakis. Before it closed it was very much a (crap) pub. About 6 years ago it never opened again after New Year. Not a great loss.

I remember in the early 70's when my brother got married in Martha Street . The "do" after was in Clydebank and on the way out there my other brother and my sister and me went in there for a quick drink. I'm sure she did it deliberately just to get the expected reaction. "You lads can stay but she'll have to go" !!!!

Anybody remember a pub at 75 Maxwell St?

[Josef]

If you mean Maxwell Plums, then I remember it being there, but it was far too scary for the likes of me to go into.

Wasn't the entrace to Maxwell Plums facing the river?

75 would be about opposite Fury Murry's/ Legs n Co.

Is there such a thing as enough wet T shirt events?

[Graham]

Didn't there used to be a pub to go with that sign?
