Child friendly pubs in Maryhill?

[SideBurns]

Heading through to Firhill on Saturday for the first time in at least 20 years - can anyone recommend a boozer in the vicinity of the ground which tolerates bairns? Think our provisional plan is to go to the Counting House for bit of grub before getting the train out, but would be good to sample some of the pre-match atmosphere in a local hostelry if possible.

We’re heading to the counting house too but I’m told there is a bar within the away end stand that we are allowed in so we plan on heading there beforehand

We’re heading to a bar called Munro’s next to St George’s Cross subway which is only a 15 min walk to the stadium.

When you say you’re getting the train out do you mean the Subway? Firhill is nowhere near Maryhill railway station.

Hi Hibbees
It’s been a few years since we played you at Firhill
The stadium has at the front the Aitken Suite/bar all Hibbees fans welcome
Opens at 12pm as well as bar it serves hot food, family seating and SKY tv - there’s about 6 tv screens so half will show any English game at lunchtime and half any live Scottish game
Thanks

I don't know what I mean yet - getting the train to Queen Street, and just assumed we'd be getting another train out but I suppose the subway might be a better shout! I've only ever been to Firhill on supporters buses or by car in the past, so this is a new and exciting adventure I'm embarking on.

Thanks for the advice so far, to all who've replied.

Boozer and bairns in the same sentence...??

And the problem with that is?

Pewter Pot is meant to be child friendly though a 15 minute walk.

The subway is miles away from the stadium. You can get a train to Partick station but not sure how far the stadium is from there. I'm going to get the train to Queen street and get a taxi to a pub near the stadium, under a ten minute drive and about £2-3 between 4 of us.

Cheers - if it is, and Munro's is also a 15 minute walk, that's no' a disaster if the weather stays dry (the 'bairns' are 13 years old). The stadium bar sounds a good shout too.

Subway is 1 mile from the stadium. 10-15 min walk.

Thanks - sounds like a taxi from the city centre might just be the job.

In terms of public transport, St George's Cross subway is closest. Partick train station is miles away, Thistle are in Maryhill, not Partick. Can't help with pubs, either near Queen Street or the bar at Firhill.

I studied at Glasgow Uni, and lived just round the corner from Firhill when in halls. We used to go to a boozer called The Strathmore...ugly looking pub, looked a bit like the Clansman, and at first we thought it would be seriously rough but it was dead friendly and had some right good characters. Just had a quick look online and looks like it's been totally transformed and now appears to be some sort of fancy wine/cocktail/gastro pub.

Should thread title not be changed to 'Any friendly pubs in Maryhill?'

This is Scotland, not Worcestershire. Becoming familiar with the inside of pubs starts earlier

As long as they buy their round I don't have a problem.

Partick Thistle don't play in Partick. Last thing you want to do it get the train to Partick, it's miles away. If there's a few of you best just jumping in a taxi from the city centre. Only takes about 10 minutes.

Agreed.

Partick is not a nice area.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I used to absolutely love “the strathy” when I was in Murano Street Halls. At the end of 1st year the murano st committe had so many £££’s left and decided to put on a free bar every Wednesday night for the last 4 weeks in the Strathmore. Some absolute characters used to drink in there, and we had some drunken nights with the locals. As you said always pretty friendly. I thought The Crosslands (where Begbie launches the glass from the balcony) was rougher. Although both seem to be quite “trendy” now and definitely within a stroll of firhill.

In fact there are plenty good boozers within a 15-20min walk for anyone who doesn’t mind heading down towards Great Western Road, Woodlands Road or even Byres Road (slightly further). Us Westies who know the area, know we are spoiled for drinking options this game.

Do you know a pub called 'Wintersgills' on Great Western Road? Two meals for £12 and Tartan Special on draught - sounds barry!
