@@patgallagher6692 I've travelled to many places, my fav city Rome. But loved my days growing up in Springburn and working in the Balmore, then moving to Possil before moving on. The tougher the area the kinder and more protective the people were to each other. Wild West though when a stranger walked into *any* local. For what seemed like forever behind that bar, the silence was deafening.
Springburn lassie, started working in the Balmore '82 when Big Mick from Donegal ran it. Learned my job from my mum + aunt, but from the K sisters + C their sis-in-law. Smart as whips with hearts of gold these 3 women 🌟 My late-mum took over when Mick died. My fav job. Finish our late shifts jump into the Brothers. I left about 97. Your granny called Jean, I could be wrong? If so my cheeky beloved wee auntie still worked there when she took over.
blew me away when saw this..wee andy and harry jasper!!!!andy was a good man and a good uncle too me...knew all the bros n old mrs J..whit a charachter...happy new year 2 all who knew them...Paul McGachan.
Joe & Michael McHugh, good but firm guys. They knew how to run a pub, and as a few people have commented it was not overly common to have Celtic & Rangers supporters drinking in the same bar. They also ran The Morven in Springburn area for a while, another pub that could tell a few stories.
Weird but true. Springburn raised & worked in Possil's Balmore Bar. The really bad pub trouble started in the 90s exactly when 90% of smack (used as a WMD) from Afghanistan and Pakistan flooded Western cities. 'Let *them* pay *us* to kill them.' 💔
Went To School With James Curzon, Him And Ian Bergin, Coaty Campbell, i Remember The Cheekie 30, With Alfie Poland, And Harry The Blood Monaghan, Who Became The Possil Pigs, And Still Have My tatoo Of The Pawnee A wee Indian Head.those Were The Days, When Your Pals Stood Behind you Regardless Of Numbers.😢
Like most of the Pubs back in the 60's 70's & 80's a lot of them were pretty friendly warm places so I'm often told Social cleansing together with social problems has changed this forever, The Brothers is definitely a different establishment now as you all know in comparison to the days when the likes of Scheme were packing the place out. Ha Ha - The Mad McUrine's advert, a secondary school memory, just before the Chinheads popped up!
Jim "Coaty" Campbell, That Name Conjures Up Some Memories, I Heard He Went To Australia, Boy Could Swap Things, Could Sell Ice To Eskimo's, And Sand To Arabs, Heard He Sold The Sydney Harbour Bridge 3 Times To Gullible Yanks, Hahaha, Only Kidding, Got His Nickname From, John Longwell, Tommy Tomlinson, And Pat Roper, At St Cuthberts School, He Was pals With, Tony Dembski, Pat Higgins, And William Day, A Real Glesga Character Frae Possil.😂😅😊
I like how Yer Man says Poe sull park. It's true name. I still cringe when folk refer to the area as Poe Sull. Naturally, Poh sill park would be the proper phonetic, but still nice to hear the word park at the end of the name.
I have been in that pub in 89 where people did talk to me...some ned threw a pie at my mate;s face and told him he was only messing does he want a jar in the face
Spent the first 20 years of my life in Glasgow. Nostalgic for it but you couldnt pay me to live there again.

My granny ran the balmore just along the road from the Bros, looked a heavy shop 😂

Bit like northern Ireland not to many bars in Glasgow where both Celtic and rangers fans can enjoy a pint together
There's more pubs per head in Dumfries than any where else in the u.k.31 main churches in the town,what did they do stumble out the Kirk into the pub?
Thanks James . Been to Sanquar .....luv it :)
Think the Brothers was the first boozer to use cameras as you entered ,above door
