Do you remember pubs like this?🍻
Those of us who have seen Still Game will recognise most of the locations used, from the Maryhill flats to a bingo hall in Possilpark.
The bar was named the Gimlet, after a cocktail consisting of gin, lime cordial and soda that was popular in the 1960s, and it later became known as the Ruchill Tavern. But its most famous name – which wasn’t even its real name – was the Clansman. One of the comedy series’ more serious storylines centred around the potential demolition of the Clansman, and thus the destruction of the communal watering hole for Jack, Victor, Winston, Isa and the livelihood of its loyal servant, Boaby the Barman.
The building was demolished in 2004, between the filming of series three and four, to make way for flats. After that, a replica exterior of the pub was built in the Glasgow North media park in Maryhill to be used for the rest of the series. Cliff said: “It’s become quite a big thing in the town. The whole of Corby has a massive, massive Still Game fanbase.”
