32 Polmadie Road, Glasgow. s.s.
The Molls Mire Bar, named after the local burn with the same name. Although not a very old pub, but many still remember it, possibly as it was a notorious bar, very rough and at nights, fighting men and young boys battled it out in the street, the local Police were never away from this den of iniquity. However it wasn’t always like this, In 1960 William K Doak was the owner of the bar, nine years later well-known Glasgow publican Ian Kennedy took over the pub. Ian Kennedy and his family owned the Morven bars in Townhead and Edgefauld Road, Springburn.
The Molls Mire sat at the corner of Polmadie Road and 210 Wolseley Street in the south side of the city.

Drank in the molls mire since I was living in oatlands since I was young ! Yes. Had some good times in it & some trouble was in it also ! But tell me that most clubs never had trouble ! IAN KENNEDY I remember I know he owned pubs called movern ! My stepfather said he was from that island if that’s true or not ! But he was a big Celtic fan I know that for a fact ! Can’t remember the name of the pub up from it 🤔
Pub just up from Molls Mire was “The Splash:” near Marios famous chip shop. I lived at 40 Polmadie road in 1961. I recall a shooting incident in molls mire. A gangland murder involving shot guns which made daily record headlines.
