392 North Woodside Road, Glasgow.

Pewter Pot

The Pewter Pot. 1991.

Opened in 1955 by licensee Mrs Marie Aitken. World famous actor Duncan Macrae did the opening ceremony and pulled the first pint.

The premises were built in period style and decorated with pewter pots with bright flowers hanging from the rafters. The bar fittings were installed by Messrs Gaskell and Chambers. Mrs Aitken formerly had premises at no 262 North Woodside Road which had been in the same family since 1877.

Update 03/04/2014…

The Pewter Pot in North Woodside Road has just closed its Doors. Tonight it has closed its doors for the last Time. Its an end of an Era for this great Pub. It has been said that the Pewter Pot will be demolished to build new student accommodation in the form of flats.

It is a shame to see this great bar close.

Update… Jimmy Gibbons sent this email in 2008…

This establishment was the reason my father strayed from Religion….Each Sunday on his way to St. Joseph’s (facing the Pub) for 12 o’clock Mass, he ‘MISTAKENLY’ seemed to ENTER the rear entrance of The Peargrove.

Then in his wisdom, ten minutes before Mass ended ( thinking that he would not meet the Priest..Fr. John Lyne speaking to his Flock.) He would nip along to ‘THE HAIRY CORNER’ situated on the corner of Lyon St. and North Woodside Rd. This was owned by his pals..Willie and Peter Byrne..( Later the owners of the HAWTHORN BAR in POSSIL.)

Then around 3pm in the afternoon when the ‘Old Man’ was lying on the couch..”Resting his Eyes”..Father Lyne would appear and announce that he noticed him missing from Mass..and it seemed that he had seen someone fitting his description sneaking into the ‘PEARGROVE’ just before 12 o’clock Mass, as he looked out of the Chapel House window…?????
These were the days when pubs didn’t open on Sunday…!!
