70's Neil Diamond I hope...his early stuff certainly isnt torture. Some of the best pop songs ever written came from Diamond's sixties songwriting sweatshop.

Maybe you're mistaking it with the chamber that has Tony Christie's Greatest Hit(s) on repeat?

Best pub in Britain and not rough at all. Very friendly and takes its music seriously but nothing else. Certainly not rough in the sense that you'd get a kicking in there. It ain't Aitchies. Or The Broadsword.

Or The Hen Hoose.

Or The Clifton Bar.

Or The Seaton Arms.

I agree. I've been going to this bar for 15 years and I've never seen a fight here - apart from a certain DJ smacking his girlfriend once - that was many years ago. A few of you oldies will recognise this m.o. But seriously when I tell people I go to the Moorings and some folk are like 'OOOH The Moorings - isn't it rough down there' I just feel my hackles rise and get really protective and start telling them all the good things about the place. It is the only bar that I feel comfortable walking into on my own, the bar staff are really cool & friendly and the customers are out of this world - friendly, courteous & polite, a good sense of humour and a good dress sense LOL. It is guaranteed that you can go there and have a good drink and a laugh and hear decent music. Best pub in Scotland!!

Spot on. As a certain Scottish novel says "I swung the door a The Moorings open. The place had a safe embrace li’ yer best pal and always made ya realise how lucky y’are ta have it in ya life. The jukebox was playing Pallas li’ a fanfare ta welcome ma back. Scattered about the bar were musical people. That was why the place existed and that’s why people came: because people do listen ta music north a Barrowlands."

The Moorings has an exotic retro arcade machine, which has Hyper Sports on it. This alone should convince you of the place's intrinsic worth. Now, if I could only master that fucking vaulting horse.

Hahahahahaha!!! I fucking hear ya on that one!!! Many a quid I've lost (and after doing so fucking well at the skeet aswell!)

Nothing like a bit of button bashing though, get a Napalm Death song in your head and hammer away

Why is it like £1 a game as well
