It's the whole ethos behind the place- I heard that the bar staff get paid in rape and torture, and I hear it's a good hourly rate!I also hear that the Moorings Snuff Tapes will be on sale behind the bar?

Flash@TMB Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 There's no kids locked in the box. we've eaten them all already although Frank couldn't eat a whole one. Snuff tapes are on sale behind the bar as sadly One-Up declined to stock them. All leftover body parts and entrails donated to Karloff.

Marillionboy Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 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.

CeeJay Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 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 yare 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 thats why people came: because people do listen ta music north a Barrowlands."

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pint of heavy, "towers toastie", darts'n'domino's, no one else under 60 I think the last time I was in the Broadsword I was 9 and was helping a friend carry his paralytically drunk dad home...
