standman Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Has anyone been in every pub in Greenock at some point? Are there any you haven't been in ir wouldn't go in? I've never been in the Carnock, The Lighthouse, the Broomhill, The Lyndoch, the Hole in the Wall or the one in Pennyfern without any windows. Am I missing out?!! Let's rock !

TaunTon Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Like you, no. Never been in the Broomhill or the Black Cat. Also a few of the old ones that have now disappeared ( Ladyburn although lived next door, and the Oban are 2 that come to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carnock is a bit too family oriented for my liking, everyone stares at you if you even say a mild swearword. I don't like the fancy designer beers either. The Cloch Lighthouse is actually in Gourock, not sure if it's a bar either. I haven't been in the Broomhill since Jasper Carrot bought it, but I hear it's not bad. Not been in the Lynedoch ever, though someone once told that it's a false frontage constructed as an art project and not a real bar at all. The one in Pennyfern is actually a house, but there are usually beers in the fridge. Of course I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Husband Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I forgot to mention the Hole In The Wa'. It's a bit like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, with beer taps. Of course I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozehound Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm fairly certain I have been in every pub in Greenock that's still in business. I've never been in the Rangers Club but that isn't actually a pub. An internet fud is still a fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaddypeekey Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I know for a fact I've been in every pub in Inverclyde, never mind Greenock. An army pal and me were home on leave together and made it our mission to have a pint in every pub over two weeks. The only one we never made was the Wallace bar, we were too scared! We went from kilmacolm to skelmorlie, even though skelmorlies not inverclyde! Run Silent, Run Deep...

The Bewilderedbeast Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yep, been in every pub in Inverclyde, except that windowless one in Pennyfern!, but only because of my previous employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wallace, a quality establishment, first time I'd ever been in there, was a Sunday morning at 8 am after it had been broken into, they'd jacked the roof up using hydraulic jacks knocked from the shipyards!

LinwoodTON Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Most of the pubs I remember are either gone or renamed. Was the Para Handy the one across from where McDonalds is now? Remember going to the Oban after a night shift, classy joint, glasses of Eldorado lined up on the bar. Before I moved away from Greenock my local was 'The Hole in The Wa'. Moved down to Largs and drank in The Clachan, I think that's called something else now. Don't drink anymore, my body is a temple. <span style='font-size: 14px;'><em class='bbc'>"That LinwoodTon's a c*nt, eh?"</em></span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Husband Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Going by the trepidation with which it was viewed, I reckon the Wallace was the most infamous bar of the lot. Of course I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Sheba Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think i have been in them all except the Carnock. I was in the Greenock Juniors at the bottom of Branchton, anyone remember that? The one in Pennfern without windows?????are you thinking of the Burns Lounge in Braeside? Isn't it a lovely day.....

Wee Dublin End Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Never been in the Westburn or the Burns Lounge. Unlikely to do so now as I've given up drinking. Edit to add : We've done this before on here; maybe some bright spark can find the old thread for the benefit of the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngsa Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ach The Wallace was a fine establishment. My folks house looked down onto Parkhill right at the pub. Used to pop in for a pint now and again. Some mental characters but a close knit community back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Partridge_Ton Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Aha! Best topic on here for some time. Only pubs I haven't been in in Greenock are the Carnock, the Norseman and the Burns Lounge. Only pub I haven't been in in Gourock is the Old Wherry.

Davie McArthur Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I went to The Hole in the Wa' on New Years Day. Possibly the most unfriendly and hostile pub I've been in for some time. MARTY OUT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
