Guest juvehearts Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Best boozer? Correct money only straight after the game (they only had 105 minutes to sort that) No beers in fridges straight after the game 2 half wit lassies serving who looked clueless and spent more time argueing than serving. If the above is what makes a decent pub then i must be going wrong somewhere. youre not a local so what do you know:qqb017::qqb017: facts are they chewed their way threw ?500 worth of change in the space of 4 hrs. everyone went to the game, the pub was still FULL!!! the place nearly ran out of beer.... anyone remember bordaeux, or westfield before the pre season friendly 2 years ago? like i said, still the best pub on match day. FACT. the lassies, were argueing because they were stressed. name a women under pressure that cannae get stressed easy?? exatcally. juve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest juvehearts Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I dont like the boozer, dont like a certain element of people who frequent it on match days as invariably these are the people who i cant stand when they get into the ground and start spouting the usual crap. However i know not to go there because that is where the majority of them go so for me its a good thing that its open as it means going to the other boozers doesnt have that element in it. What i would say is that the cops will take a dim view on this if it persists in requiring the bar staff to call the cops and have the bar closed. I suggest the owner needs to think long and hard about the type of bar he wants and the staff needs to be hired accordingly. If your going to own a bar with sectarian singing and a rougher element then you have to have staff that can deal with that or change the whole boozer. OH FFS know the facts 1st before spouting pish pal eh. a lot of roumers. do you know exactcally what happened on sat nite?? coz i was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarhead Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The fact that there were queues of people at various times yesterday trying to get in to the pub, proves that the demand is there If people are actually queing to get into Robbo's Bar maybe there is an unfullfilled opening in the market for sectarian themed pubs.

jambojackbilly Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Robbo's is sound If i didn't like a pub or the punters in it i would not go in, no big deal, find one that you do like The vast majority of regulars in Robbo's ( now and again for me ) go to most if not all the games, if thats what they sing on match day, no problem with me or my mates who were in on Saturday Most posters who are whining like little girls on here about Robbo's should pop in and experience the unique atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonnejambo Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 First time i have been in there for few seasons and walked out after waiting to get served for 1/2 hour, yip it was busy but I guess you need to be a regular to be allowed to order a drink. Left the pub after it becoming the chance of being served were pretty much nil. Stood outside chatting to mates who talked me back in and they went to bar for me. Later on ventured to bar again took about 15 mins to get served got a glass covered in lipstick so asked for clean glass then when got back to the crew realised the drinks were wrong. had a great time with the folks I was with but the pub is the worst run place Ive been in for a long time (and I have worked behind many a bar). was an absolute joke when it got closed because of a couple of girls fighting, and they werent full on scrapping in the pub one dragged the other outside. To get the police in for that was unreal and then getting told we had to leave then told no we dont then a minute later yeah we do still had great night but dont think I have the patience to wait to get a drink in there and the staff need some kind of training in bar skills.

Therapist Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Robbo's was heaving though everyone i noticed seemed quite content I enjoyed the occasional sing sing The pre-game service was shocking though Billy. I actually got to the game before kick off for once as I got hacked off with the bar staff's efforts. Excellent vocal performance by the Robbo's Traditional Choir however.

It's only in the future that Richard Littlejohn fears where that little ditty would be anything other than perfectly legal.

Creepy Lurker Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It's strange that Robbo's seems to have acquired this mythical status. I drink in there from time to time, it's really nothing that special. Just a smelly wee room, to be fair, albeit with a bit more atmosphere than the other pubs in the Gorgie area.
