In 1894 George Thomson was running this old pub paying an annul rent of £39 10 shillings. The Thomson family ran a successful business here for many years as did the Marshall Family. The pub was known as the Golden Star.
M J Heraghty is named after Michael J Heraghty who was a well respected member of the Glasgow licensed trade. Mr Heraghty was convenor of the Glasgow and District Licensed Trade Defence Association. Michael owned an old pub an 15 Norfolk Street and renamed it the Garryowen Bar, in 1960, he also owned Heraghty’s Inn, at 188 Oxford Street.
