Anderston Quay pubs

26 Anderston Quay, Glasgow. G3 8BG. Demolished.

The Copy Cat. 1991.

The Copy Cat has been hit by the bulldozers like all the other pubs in this area. Not one of the historic pubs have survived here since the developers have upgraded the entire area with fancy flats and office buildings.

The Cop Cat stood at the corner of Cheapside Street and was popular with the Daily Record staff, this is where the pub got it’s name.

Formerly known as the Dublin Vaults.

There has been a public house on this site since 1845. The first licensee was a gent called Govan Stewart. William Teacher even traded from this site from 1862 until 1876.
