Geoff_Tipps Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If the trouble arrives at your feet I would suggest being under the table would be the ideal location to deal with it. You have a point. Link to comment
Dandydon D Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 They turned the Tilted Wig back into a Rock bar.Last time i went in for a pint after a match it was an absolute hell hole. Juke box in there used to be amazing but it was switched off and all they had on was a tv with sky news on. Then a DJ came in and started playing some horrific dance music so we left. Said id never go back but if what your saying is true then might give it another go. The moorings used to be an ace rock bar but its not as welcoming these days for some reason. Link to comment
Stoney Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Dont think there is a bar in aberdeen that would strike fear into me walking through the door. Mostly just dive bars with alkies / junkies that would be too wasted to cause any real trouble. Link to comment

Stoney Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Schooner was ace on a saturday morning before an away game. Link to comment
Henry Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Anyone remember what The Schooner used to be like? I used to go there every Seterday morning for my "breakfast" I went there for a pint at 7am one fine morning having stepped off the ferry from Kirkwall. That was an eye-opener, as a young naive loon from Orkney. Link to comment
tup Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Aye I've been in the Schooner early doors, great crack, 'eclectic' crowd to say the least. Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Used to go to a pub in Edinburgh called the Pheonix. Wasn't that rough, mainly just ravers from the night before but it was funny how the pub quiz started at 7am. Link to comment

lethal707 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Waterfront was a decent boozer back in the day. Also liked the Windmill bar - cracking jukebox. Murdos was pretty rough until the poofy manager boy banned everyone. Link to comment

Henry Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I reckon you'd shit yourself in proper pubs Bluto, I reckon you're more at home in the Yates of the world, Sky Sports on the big screen, 4 bottles of Bud for a tenner and you drink them all yourself type place. 1 1 Link to comment

Reminds me of a friend of a friend who ended up on charges for 'brandishing a Seagull' in Aberdeen. Apparently he had just been walking down the street and came across this injured Seagull. He then showed it to a passer by and it pecked them on the nose. So the story goes. I choose to believe that's how it happened. Link to comment
Bobby Connor Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Off topic, but along a similar vein, seen the most foul thing in my life a couple of weeks back along the side of the A9. A dead deer with maggots literally flowing out of it's arse into a big pile of maggots. Took a video of it. Link to comment
deco_1985 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Good stories so far Living in the Weeg, been in plenty rough houses. We always do an end of season subcrawl with the supporters club and you go in a few interesting gaffs down in Govan and south of the river. First year we ever done it, got off at Kinning Park and were walking towards what we knew was the biggest hun shit hole on the route. 10 or so dandies walking up to the door a bit nervous and this wasn't helped as we approached the door and some gut runs out with a burning newspaper. Get inside and there are guy in 'ra flute band' uniforms filling the place as it was 'marching season', had their wee kids in with them, who were banging the drums and shit. Only seat we could get was right under a big framed picture of Durrant. Anyway, only had to stay for one drink thankfully, but before we left we went in the bogs and someone held the door shut and we went to town with black marker pens Fair to say a very quick exit was made towards the underground after that. Done the sub crawl last year, and we were in some shit hole pub, possibly the same one, and we walked in and there was a flute band in there, karaoke blasting out, half 1 in the afternoon. We're at the bar, and some big knuckle dragger stood next to us, and said "check this out" and rolled his sleeve up to show proudly a KKK tattoo all up his arm. Disgusting bar, area, and this just summed it up. Link to comment

Was called the Doctors at that time, but now it's the Bellrock, cannae polish a turd anyway. First time we went, subcrawl was relatively new thing, so they weren't used to new faces. Now when you walk in these dumps, no one bats an eyelid as they're so used to big groups of randoms coming in now. Me and the missus are up in Aberdeen for the night on Saturday, so will be taking her to the Belmont and Cheerz, sounds like a right laugh Link to comment

tup Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Folk that have never interacted with working class folk in their lives thinking they're being all daring and stuff by going on organised pubcrawls to shithole bars in minker areas type of idea? Link to comment

That's exactly how I picture Bluto! Mouthing off to all the locals about who Man United should sign in order to wrestle the title back from City. Regurgitating an argument, word for word, that he'd heard the previous week on SKY Sports... ... he pisses off everyone in the pub and the only thing stopping one of the locals from chinning him is an overwhelming sense of pity. 3 Link to comment
Old Wing Stand Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Me and mates used to go in the Belmont "for a laugh" on some days out. Seeing guys openly doing drugs in the bogs became a regular occurrence. Absolute shit hole of a place but we never got any hassle in there. Quality jukebox too if i remember right. Im sure i seen the barmaids from the Belmont working in the Tilted Wig one night. Did they take over the wig ? Used to go to the wig years ago when it was a decent rock bar but it too is a fuckin horrific bar now. East Neuk on King street is pritty fuckin raw tooEast Nuek used to be a Hun hang oot when they were an SPL team playing up at Pittodrie Link to comment
deco_1985 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 A wee treat compared to Granny Gibbs Granny Gibbs is my local, or at least it would be if I went there. Been twice since being down here, one night was superb, one was fucking dreadful! The subcrawl is decent if you do it with decent folk and a good crowd of dandies! When you see middle class little student c*nts then it infuriates the hell out of me. Done it once, none of the pubs are really 'rough' or 'dodgy' or whatever, I'll drink in any bar. But when you see people with KKK tattoo's, it is time to leave. Not because I am scared, but because I find folk like that repulsive and don't want to share the same air as them. On top of that, they were all Huns, so that was it. Scum of the highest order! Link to comment

I was in GG's last week, ok for a couple but coz you aint a local you get stared at Much prefer the Partick pubs, especially when there's a hen doo on the sub crawl. Link to comment
