tommythejambo Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 As it says on the tin. I'm usually in one of 3 pubs. The Broadfields, nearest to my hosue. The Ormalee, nearest to my mums house. And I work in the Sportsman. Can you tell I'm bored. My days just go to waste once the A-Team finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I work in the Sportsman. You're in my neck of the woods mate - I can usually be found in one of 3 or 4 pubs - 2 of which are right next to the first 2 you listed. I live opposite the Ellwyn so that's my local. Started going to the Seahaven on a Saturday (and the odd) Sunday as it's only ?2 a pint (for Guinness). My folks stay in the Royal Mile, so I'm often in the Tolbooth. Recently, I've started popping into the White Horse on a Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just round the corner from the Ellwyn but Ive never been in. I dont drink much locally these days, but it would be the Scottie or Broadfields if at all.

Cigaro Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd consider the Polton Inn to be my "local". But more local would probably be the Laird and Dog, the Reyesville, or the Justinlees. Melville Inn is local now too I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Boomers next to the library on Gordon Drive, lots of tv's with sports and the lowest priced beer in town. The foods pretty good too. If nothing on TV you can look out the window at the hockey rink and watch some of the games on there. Thre main asset being its close proximity to the library where the wife thinks you are studying international affairs of a political nature.

My folks stay in the Royal Mile, so I'm often in the Tolbooth. Recently, I've started popping into the White Horse on a Saturday night. Not in the retirement flats eh? FWIW, I will tell you about my local haunts. I used to live in Meadowbank. Used to work in Safeway when I was younger (pre Morrison's takeover), we were always in the Scottie on a Sat night. Either there or Broadfields (even though predominantly a hibs boozer). Always felt a better class when I was in there. Used to also go to the Elwyn plenty, frequent the Crown and Cushion, The snooker centre, The Golden Gates and The Lady Nairn, were amongst my other locals at the time. Moved to Carricknowe when I left the folks. Corrie Inn's the dugs baws (or was). Used to have Jinty and Jim in charge. Used to also frequent the Cakky Inn, Centurian and the Rainbow. (used to have plenty of pals from the area at the time, before I had kids and the wife banned me from going out). Moved to Rosyth, used to just drink in Gorgie on matchdays, but always met in the Corrie, as it was such a good boozer. Now I'm in Glasgow, its the Craigfoot. By far the best pub I've ever drank in. If you can see past the sectarian Rangers fans, the drugs and the fighting. Seriously though, its no bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Dance Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Less than 3 mins from either Diggers, Caley Sample rooms, Golden rule, Polwarth tavern, McCowans or Fountain. So, I have a fair choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
