Where was the old Mermaid Inn in Glasgow - used to have to stand outside many years ago while everyone else who were over on the boat drank.
Was it Bridgeton ?
thanks for posting, great to seeHis coronation
I think he ended up in Australia,no sure about managing a pub.Did Ian Scanlon ex-Aberdeen not also manage the Cactus at the Toll for a while?
That's the one I remember. All the barmen were elderly and wore aprons (no not that kind) and were very professional. No matter how busy it was as soon as you walked in the door they would say "what can I get you sir?". Not many pubs like that today, more's the pity.
Was it not The Cactus Bar?Here's a wee quiz for you.
Who was the ex scum player who managed the Mermaid?
Yes he did and Alex Ferguson also had a pub in Main StreetDid Ian Scanlon ex-Aberdeen not also manage the Cactus at the Toll for a while?

Part of you memory is fine, the Free Dubcek grafitti was there from 1968 until well after 2000. The wall has now been replaced. As for Erik Sorensens pub, it wasn't near Cappielow, it was on Arthur Street down near the fire station and was called Sorensens.The Viking beside Cappieilow Remember the wall across from it with "FREE DUBCEK",the Czeckoslovakian leader who was imprisoned by Russia in 1968 painted on it..

Think that part of wall was replaced when they revamped that area, put the traffic lights into the marina, etc, probably within the last 10 years.Cheers,I always thought the Viking was Sorensens pub. Maybe it was the name of the pub
When did the wall get knocked down? I'm sure it was there 2 or 3 years ago when I passed on my way to Gourock
Was definitely the Mermaid Robert. I’m a Brighton lad and used to go on Brigton Loyal when Shuggie was running it. Very early 80s.Was it not The Cactus Bar?
