I've been trying for years to get my friends to go on a pub crawl through the dodgy (read ALL) pubs in the north Glasgow area.
Starting at the Tower Bar at the Roon Toll, up to the moss Hoose with the The Rock (actually a very friendly place, but we pass it so it has to be included) and The Possil Bar. Along Saracen Street with all it's adventures, The Standard, The Saracen Bar, The Balmore (which, would you believe, has only recently had metal shutters installed. It was just bare windows before), and The Brothers Bar/Avon Lounge. Then across to The New Hawthorn and round to The Comet (the one in the Robson and Jerome video from years back). Lastly we should hit The Gimlet. If we have time or are still able (alive), we could try and include Bensons on Keppochill Road and The Ashfield, but they're a bit out the way.
None of them will do it. "Am no gon in there, Ah'll git stabbed if Ah go in there!!" etc. etc. But I've got some bargaining chips now, The Gimlet will be getting knocked down soon, so the pressure's on.
