Geed Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Iron Horse is a great pub go there before every Scotland home game and its the home of Westa TA. Staff are friendly, drink reasonable price and food is great too. Some folk just like to moan on here, nothing wrong with the place at all.

Fairbairn Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Used to work in Empire House right next door to it for about 10 years. Think I was in the Iron Horse twice during that time (outwith Scotland games) and the Blue Lagoon once. The pub in particular is a shithole and some of the sights you'd see staggering out of it at 11am left a lot to be desired. The only plus point I can think of was the people (WESTA?) who used to run a bus to/from the games on match-days. Beer was watered down pish, the place stank and it tended to be full of neds. In the list of lost Glasgow boozers, it won't be missed if it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenblueeyes Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Jeezo...would you all just take the pokers out your arse! No one is forcing you to drink in the Iron Horse or eat in the Blue Lagoon. The fact that they've both been there for decades would indicate that there are plenty people who do like them and that's fine. You can hardly move in the Iron Horse on a Friday or Saturday night, it's that busy. There are pubs that I like and pubs that I don't but I wouldn't come on a message board slagging them off because everyone can choose to spend their money where they want. Don't like it? Just don't fecking go there...... Oh...by the way...the food is really good in the Iron Horse. Had many a stonking breakfast in there before leaving on a WESTA bus and their mac n cheese is fab.

1ANDYP Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I actually prefer shitholes, compared to some of these shiny new pubs, at least they have a bit of character. Blue lagoon is pretty honking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the point of a messageboard. Folk come on here to give their opinions on things. That may be football, it may be pubs (strange that you're not having a pop at folk in the "Worst pubs" thread...) or it may be adverts on the telly.
