The Three Judge’s. 1991.
The Three Judges has an interesting history, to read more, check back soon for our second book.
Our members can view this fantastic rare old postcard of this pub when it was called the Tower Bar by clicking here.
John, Prior to being named The Three Judges, this pub was known as The Kelvin. A bit of debate among my friends but some of us think that it was twice named the Kelvin having spent a short interim period known as something else which we can’t remember. Prior to this period, it was known as Bennett’s in the 1970’s and was renowned for the its handling of Guinness. I have noted a posting elsewhere on the web which refers to it as Bennett’s Tower Bar. I must assume that the Tower Bar part of the title predates the 1970’s.
If you have any queries about west end or city centre pubs maybe my friends and I might have some recollections to assist (we’re all upwards of 60!). Regards Jim
Was the three judges called “the extension there’s was a big American that ran it at the time.my mate done the dj and I worked on the door to keep the old drunks out.it was about 1977 I was at college so know the date.
Yes , it was the extension for a few years in the latter part of the 1970’s one of my first pints in Partick, “ non legal “ led astray by my workmates.
I was an international student at the UofG, The Three Judges was the pub I went to almost on a daily basis, for it has great student discounts, 2.5 for a pint of Tennent’s, so many memories at the Judges. I was only in Glasgow for a year and now I miss the city, especially the three Judges, up and doon Dumbarton road……How time flies.
