robbo1874 Posted July 25, 2018 Add Spiers Bar to the list. Apparently taken over by Montpelier lot, whoever they are. Wasn't one I went in no big deal to me but was one of the few "boozers" left in that area. Mind that's me judging it by clientele rather than actually using the place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FWJ Posted July 25, 2018 Have we really reached page 7 and no mention of The Rainbow? First pint was in the Cottar’s Howff on Rose Street. It was near the back of Jenner’s if memory serves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was near the back of Jenner’s if memory serves. Cottars Howff was opposite Ladbrokes in Rose Street, just off Hanover Street. There was Milnes on Hanover Street (down the wee stairs) and they took over the Cottars so, as you know, Milnes have an entrance on Rose Street too. I think you went downstairs to enter the CH back then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said it was someone telling me so wasn't sure on all it's accuracy but the Libby ended up quite mental. The old Minders is a Hibs casual place I was told. Might be way off the mark though as it's all just stuff being passed on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
