Do you have any memories of The Cockburn Bar? If so please leave a comment.
END.
I used to work in an office near here, and would venture in for a game of darts and a roll on mince of the odd weekday evening. Happy days.
Was the mural in it then, thanks.⁹
Remember the brilliant painting of all the customers and staff behind the bar?
Was everyone not deaf that drank there?
What?
Used to work for the Railway in the 70’s and 80’s at Blythswood House and this was the clerks favourite watering hole. The barman was a lovely guy called Michael and was often or not more inebriated than his customers every lunchtime. Also remember the painting behind the bar of the customers. Happy Days.
Does anyone have an image of the mural?
