This all changed in the 1950s and 1960s when many tenements were being demolished across the city. It's likely this one only survived becauae it was too expenalsive for the Glasgow Corporation (as the council was then known) to buy out the pub's licence.

While this might now seem like an odd location for a bar, it was once a busy residential street lined with tenements, and the surviving metal rosettes on the building indicate it was also part of Glasgow's extensive tram network.

The lone Pinkston Bar tenement on Keppochhill Road in the north of Glasgow. The bar was opened in 1889 by the wine and spirit merchant Timothy Warren, with the current tenement being built in 1892.

This one represents the diasporia driven by the Highland Clearances between the 1750s and the 1860s.

Another of the rather wonderful modern stained glass windows in the Lismore Bar on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. These windows were created by Yvonne Smith and Joe Boyle.

a little bird told me that the Machair Bar is now stocking Murphy's, and at a lower price than Guinness, which keeps going up.
I like Murphy's.
But what happened to Beamish?

It is a legal requirement when posting anything about the Horse Shoe bar to mention that, at 104 feet (32m), it is said to have the longest bar in Britain.

The JYW initials in the horse shoes at the top of the photo stand for John Young Whyte who took over the licence in 1923, although it had had its current name since the 1880s.

Reid also owned pubs on Gascube Road, Argyle Street, New City Road, Hope Street and Maxwell Street, a number of which were also called Reid's Bar, hence the need to add a qualifier to the name of each one.

Gallus on the corner of Church Street and Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. At one time, this bar was known as Reid's Bar (Pertyk), or Reids of Pertyk, after the publican Thomas C. Reid.

While official records say the stone was eventually returned to London, local legend says that this was a copy and that the original remains in the Arlington, where, as advertised on the sign outside it, it's now on display.

After its liberation by four Glasgow University students, rumour has it the stone ended up in this bar, hidden beneath a seat.

The pub has been there pretty much as long as the building, but is perhaps best known for its role in the theft of the Stone of Destiny, on which Scottish kings were traditionally crowned, from Westminster Abbey in 1950.

The Arlington Bar on the ground floor of a tenement which was originally known as Arlington Place when it was built around 1860 (and still bears this name on a nameplate on its roofline).

Love this neon sign on the Star Bar at Eglinton Toll on the Southside of Glasgow. I don't know how long it's been there, but I think it's relatively new as it doesn't appear in photos I took a couple of years back.

Lauder's on Sauchiehall Street in central Glasgow. All to easily overlooked by passersby, this building nonetheless has an interesting history.

Glasgow is famous for its architecture and its pubs, so for a bit of festive fun, I've combined the two to create a Christmas Pub Quiz. Can you name the twelve Glasgow pubs featured in this picture?

Love this brass inlay in the threshold of the Tollbooth Bar at Glasgow Cross. This bar, along with the neighbouring tenements, was designed in a Scots Renaissance style by J.J. Burnet and was built in 1899.

Just as a heads-up, I'll be posting my 2nd annual Christmas Eve photo quiz tomorrow at about 4pm. Last year, it was a music quiz, this year, it'll be a pub quiz, where you have to identify the 12 Glasgow pubs featured in a collage of photos.

However, the construction of the St Enoch Centre in the 1980s has had a hugely detrimental effect on Howard Street, leaving it a mess of access roads where there was once a busy street, and Hootenanny is now one of the few pubs remaining on it.

As well as the the Lorne, these have included rhe rather wonderfully named Mars Bar (at No. 21), Inn Decision's (No. 72), Nobody's Inn (also No. 72).

Hootenanny on the corner of Howard Street and Dixon Street in central Glasgow. Sited on the ground floor of a commercial building constructed around 1870, it first opened as the Lorne Restaurant in 1872.
