was disappointed it wasn't twice the size as mono

The seats are rubbish in Stereo. Should be quite quiet on a Tuesday, right enough. That's the first week of my holiday, so I might not actually be here if we get something booked/organised, which would be a shame, but if I'm around, I will be in a pub with you lot.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 16:21 (fourteen years ago) link
78 is the best of the lot.

Is that the "old" Stereo on Kelvinhaugh Street? Still not been since it reopened, although I walked past it the other week and it looked ace.

Sure is. It's really cosy and they have Samuel Smith's cheap and tasty Taddy Lager on tap.

i was at 78 last wednesday for their 'dub and grub' night - place was REALLY busy/crowded
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 17:26 (fourteen years ago) link
I am tempted to believe it is better than Mono and Stereo, yes. Also nearer the Clyde Tunnel for taxis home, which makes it a winner in my book. Those wobbly high seats in Stereo are totally rubbish, I was in with Madchen and Stet last week and we were all rather precarious. Mono has gone up a wee bit in my estimation since they started serving real Guinness and not that Sam Smith's shite, and also by comparison to the Note, which was full of smelly metallers.

The sofa was good, though.
― Madchen, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 17:44 (fourteen years ago) link
sofa so good
dr c might like the rec shop in mono?
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 17:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Sofa was good, yes, until I had to try to manoeuvre my broken arse out of it (though after six pints, two ibuprofen and two co-codamols, I'd stopped feeling anything the pain by that point)
― ailsa, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link
Am I to understand there is a meet-up in the works? If I'm about I'll put my social hat on and come along.
― krakow, Sunday, 19 July 2009 09:41 (fourteen years ago) link
food is best in stereo; anything else is just challops
― cozwn, Sunday, 19 July 2009 12:56 (fourteen years ago) link
When I come I don't need food, just ale. Food is OK if general concensus though. What are Mono and Stereo?
Hope you can make it Ailsa!

shame the west brewery is stupidly far away from everything. st. mungos beer is A++
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Sunday, 19 July 2009 14:32 (fourteen years ago) link
though obv i am a total west-ender, and going east of saltmarket is just inconceivable
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Sunday, 19 July 2009 14:33 (fourteen years ago) link
bad but understandable attitude

I'm up for a meat up. Haven't seen some of you for a while.
― Keith, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link
meat up
Dr Freud! Quick, come and see what he's said now ...
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, believe it or not it was actually just a subtle 'can we not go to Mono' point!
― Keith, Sunday, 19 July 2009 15:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Tuesday is now fine because the football's on the Wednesday, was going to have to be a pub with a telly if the Champions League qualifier second leg was on the Tuesday. My attendance is entirely dependent on holiday plans now. Hopefully we can make it though, would be good to meet Dr C.

Hey Tom - sounds cool, should meet for some sweet beers
― Keith, Sunday, 19 July 2009 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Gukbe: they sell St Mungo's in the Bier Halle on GWR. They even have the West stein-style glasses. Also I think maybe the Goat? Should check it out.
(Hello all. To the people I know: yes, I've not been around in a while, but I am trying ILX more.)
― mdg, Sunday, 19 July 2009 18:40 (fourteen years ago) link

I'll do both, if my busy social schedule allows. I'm interested to meet real-life ILX folks.
― krakow, Sunday, 19 July 2009 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
you've met me, for about thirty seconds!
(I like how we've all arranged tombot beers, even without tombot asking for beers)
― ailsa, Sunday, 19 July 2009 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
it's the protocol!
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 19 July 2009 21:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Aye, we'll just go for beers every day for a week. Turn up whenever.
― ailsa, Sunday, 19 July 2009 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link
so , yes.... Ñext tuesday?
― Dr.C, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:00 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm in. I'm 99% sure I'll be on a 10am start that day, so I should be done by 6.30-7pm and can hoy along and glug beer wherever you and the others might choose to meet. (Note how I'm absolving myself of any responsibility for choosing a venue there.)
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I'll be there
― Keith, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:48 (fourteen years ago) link

Gah!
― ailsa, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:38 (fourteen years ago) link
I have it in my head that Dr C is a real ale kind of guy. that requires a real pub.
How do people feel about the Pot Still? It is great, and we have been there before with little dissent.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Ha, yes- real pubs are very much appreciated, but I'll leave it up to you folks. The Pot still looks great - my drinking capacity is somewhat reduced at the moment, so I won't be demolishing gallons of whiskey. Good ales are OK though.
― Dr.C, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:32 (fourteen years ago) link
the pot = the pewter pot?
