Hungry hippo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Has the pub closed down? I've walked past a few times recently and it's always been shut. It's always been during the afternoon though so they might have reduced their opening hours. It used to be a alright for a decent pub lunch.

Used to think that was a good 'traditional' (in a non-sectarian sense of the word) pub, but last time I went there it'd been modernised, sports-barified and completely ruined. Couldn't give a damn if it has closed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Same for me. Wandered in a couple of Summers ago and thought I was in the wrong pub. It had certainly changed beyond all recognition the last time I was in. Not the pub of my student days anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a student, Dave, but frequented the Golf a number of times, in bygone days of yore. Either there, or we could be found engaged in an enthralling game of dominoes, down in the Auld Toll. Anyway, that most recent time I was in there was a day or two prior to leaving and I just sat outside, gazing wistfully over the Links, to Arthur's Seat. (sitting on a wet chair, I might add) I often wonder how I make it back in one piece, given the outrageous antics I get up to when home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheile Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Fond memories of a pint or two in the Golf after a round of pitch and put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Dover Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Aye, things just aren't what they used to be ! I recall being in there one night when a young Gavin Hastings and his Rugby pals came in on their knees singing "hi ho ..hi ho........it's off to work we go....." I've noticed one or two pubs apparently reverting to evening opening only of late ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallschunkychicken Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's one of Billy Lowe's pubs isn't it? He lives round the corner from my dad. Him and Douglas Cromb live next to each other. Hobo **** IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
