drinking in Glasgow's dodgiest pubs! - ua-cam.com/video/EjzPC1byhEg/v-deo.htmlsi=owuAxklzI0gFpMLA
I reguarly get leggless drunk on fine Scotch and beers in Dumfries. I am Irish and on a years work contract here. The Scotish people are great to get falling in the gutter drunk with as I do every Friday and Sat Night. Love the fish suppers when I crawl on hands and knees to the fish en chipper near the pubs... speaking drunkin gibberish that somehow Scots understand. I was rolled a few times. Some Scots Git robbed my wallet with about 300 quid of my wages still in it, when I was on my knees mouldy drunk.
The Scotish bastard hit me over the skull with a glass coke bottle. I was bleeding. Someone called an Ambulance. I was never right in the head after that
Easterhouse dodgy Glasgow part & PUB's
@@user-ir3qv3uv7sI think I know who you are 😂😂😂🙃
How did Robert Burns live in that place in 1971 (He died in 1796)?
Yeh i mis-read it, realised after 🤣
Nah he didn’t , read the credits on the classic Rolling Stones album 💿 Sticky Fingers . Rab Burns played the saxophone 🎷 on Cant you hear me knocking
😂
@@Smog104 I heard Rabbie played with the sax , cough
As rough as toast 🤗🫢
I play in pubs around Scotland (I lived down south for a while too), and the only hassle I've ever had has been in the big chain pubs. All the wee ones that are meant to be dodgy or are full of locals are usually the best places. As long as your not an eejit the folk are great and there are some real gems.
Yeh that is true. The dingy run down ones always have the best folk
100% small locals are the best,, I’ve met some great people over the years and still friends with a good few of them 👌
Found your channel two weeks ago, watched every video now and check daily for new content, its good to see places but your character is what makes the content good, hope you continue to do more stuff.
Been watching all your videos over the pasts few months. I love this view into the UK from an Irish man. The poorer areas interest me the most, always the most character.
Cheers!
Nay, Dumfries is not that rough, lovely place to live. Its the same as anywhere else. There are some rough people but there are even more very nice friendly people. The countryside is stunning and the air so clear.
Yeh it just needs cleaning up abit, outskirts are ace though, plenty of hills and walks!
@@honestplaces Oh yeah, i love walking in Galloway. Truly beautiful, enjoy.
I agree and also you get rough people everywhere in the world but most people are good.
Newton Stewart is rough full of farmers
@@davekerr86 Wtf? No it isn't. Newton is a quiet little town similar to Castle Douglas or Kirkcudbright. Dumfries on the other hand - well just a couple weeks ago there was a samurai sword attack lol. Also "full of farmers"? Outside of town maybe, very rural. Majority in town are tradesmen.
Excellent content mate love your channel love all the difference pubs looking to go to Scotland this year pubs look great love from Dublin
Bits n Pieces still getting played in Scotland? Classic tune 😂
Always 😂
our 'other' national anthem! 😉
I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and expecting it to be played, no Scottish wedding is complete without Bits n Pieces 😂
@@Silver_Staramg Run Rig it the end pissed with a kilt on and slippy shoes always a laugh
Hooj Choons 🤘
I’m honestly loving this content! I hope you keep the vids coming !
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
Another great video mate hopefully your subs will grow and grow so you can do this as a full time thing with more videos exploring more places keep it up bro
Cheers pal. That would be the dream! See how things go 👍
What a channel man. Loving the content! Although Dumfries ain’t too bad! Come to Bathgate next time you’re up in Scotland and I’ll show you some right shitholes!
Cheers pal. Just abit ropey init. But yeh it aint nowt compared to alot of Scotland! 😬
@@honestplaces
Hero! Looking forward to more videos :)
Go to Ladywell and sit in pub and say it’s rough on Saturday night 😂
@@alicewonderland585
What pub? 😂
The Bathgate holes are long gone....
Brutal! Love all of those pubs! Most of them are my kind of place!
All bangin
My favourite part by far was you acknowledging that Dumfries had a 'decent river' - cracking vid fella!
Was a decent river 🤣 cheers pal
Maybe see you when you're back in the North West lad
@@honestplacesyou're a prick mate...don't come to Stirling or we'll kick fuck out of you
Cheers lad great channel 🎉 class seeing you in GTA 😂 they are quality been put together very well 👌 cheers 🍻
Cheers pal, really appreciate it! Hoping for a red dead one next 🤣
Your phraseology cracks me up man, love these vids.
Well done mate - your channel is growing nicely 👍
Cheers pal 👍
We'd visited a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Eskdalemuir and decided we would stop over in Dumfries before making our return journey South , had a cracking night 👍
Nice one mate, I reckon that river was close to bursting its banks !
Another top video mate......keep them coming..
Sitting on the couch in my house in Australia watching you have beers 🍻👌
Another awesome vid i aint been to Scotland having seen your coverage think i might go 👍
Cheers pal. Proper scenic on the west coast pal 👍
@@honestplaces nice 😎
Glasgow and the Loch Lomond area are a good combo to get started.
@MartyMcK cheers thanks for the heads up 😎
Favourite you tube channel.
More more please.
Do some shots haha
The second pub you went in (Globe Inn ) is booming on a matchday if Queen of the South are playing at home (ground is a 5 minute walk away)
That was probs my fav!
Ooof Prague will be tricky. Some good ones are spread amongst a plethora of tourist trap pubs. The back streets around Staromestske square are worth a visit. If you want dingey, take a look around Smichov, you’ll probably need to go to the outskirts though to find “proper rough”.
You handle yourself in the appropriate manner! Great uploads btw! I subbed from America 🇺🇸!
Always mint content bro! ❤
Cheers pal
Good video
The hole in the wall is a great pub.
Sad to see that the town isn’t looking so good. Maybe on a better day it would look better?
I used to think Dumfries was quite posh; compared to Carlisle.
Really like these vids
Yeh abit of sun maybe, but it is Scotland! Most of the pubs were ok to be fair, just the building in the immediate center need touching up
Looks an alright town Dumfries if Im honest. Those boozers looked ok to.
Prague is class mate enjoy. I recommend the Prague beer museum pub....great beers 👍👍
nice channel,you missed my local ,the friars vaults near whitesands, thank you Imperial is great
Missed afew init 😭 cheers pal
Good to see you came to my town !
Went for a nice walk the next day. Very scenic if your drive out abit
@1:38, if Robert Burns lived in that house in 1971 that must make Rab C Nesbitt a poet laureate. 😉
Dumfries certainty hasn't changed since the last time I was there....about 20 yr ago great 👍video bud cheers 🍺
Come to Carlisle lad! Just over the border and loads of pubs. Maybe get yourself up to Cairnryan and pop over to Belfast. You could maybe do pubs in the outlying areas (New Lodge, Shankill, Falls).
Everyone keeps saying Belfast and Carlise! Bet there are some right boozerz
Emjoy your videos mate, wish we had more of your pub-culture here in sweden
Try Carlisle's botchergate .There's a few pubs on there you could try .
Reminds me of Chester a bit mainly the shots of the river
Hoots Mon, it all looks pretty decent.
Used to play in a cabaret type club band , and we'd play in social clubs, working mens clubs etc...back in the late 70's before punk...Played in Dumfries a few times...Great little place!...we had more hassle playing in the English town of Edinburgh than we did in the Scottish town of Dumfries!...😂
i have had a few holidays at barend in Dumfries beautiful locals were nice polite loads of amazing places to go i tend to find not all but a lot of the best places are the run down places
Great stuff, be nice if you could give the price of a pint when you go in the pubs mate. Just to compare.
Cheers. I always have good intention to but forget after afew 😭
I've always loved Scotland especially the islands 😊
Rabby Burns definitely didn’t live in that house with his family in 1971 🤣
Yeh i've no idea where that date came from 🤣
Sad. I was there 20 odd years ago and it looked a nice place.
prague's class - looking forward to that!
You nearly sounded Scottish at the end.. Tennents Lager effect 😂
🤣🤣 creep up on ya those tennants
Come to Budapest, we've got literal "ruin pubs" called "romkocsma". They are mostly for tourists now but there are some absolute hovels around if you know where to look.
All the best!
Sounds mega that!
@honestplaces Beer's a lot cheaper here too! Except Guiness, that's about £5-6 a pint.
Even the hovels in Budapest are amazing.
12:30 > thats that X factor winner on the Mic
love your vids . im from dumbarton scotland. i would love it if you would try the pubs in the vale of leven dumbarton. pubs are the "pawn", the "old vale bar", the "station bar," "mckenzies" , fountainwell bar and the "fox", it's a quietish village a couple of miles past dumbarton high street and just before you get to balloch loch lomond. thank you and looking forward if you do this one cheers and safe journeys all the time.
Then into Dumbarton for The Burgh, Bar, The Lennox and The Waverley, hopefully Stags reopens again soon😁
Cheers pal. I will head back north of Glasgow to check out the towns, there are so many and it takes forever to get to them 😭
Another interesting video 👍
I work part time in a bar up in Thurso, its mostly a quiet town but there are a handful of bars. Its a shame though that through the nears a good number of them have closed down.
Yeh i did NC500 last year and those small towns have suffered. Shame
@@honestplaces Hope you enjoyed it, it is a nice part of Scotland that if you are ever able to stay for 2-3 days at a place you learn SOO much if you ask a few locals.
When I used to work in hotels, during breakfast talking to guests I would tell them about the village and small local legends and myths.
Alot of folk appreciated it because otherwise they would missed it all.
And a lot of bigger companies have been getting in to the NC500 route over last couple years. Victim of its own success and alot of roads cant handle the trafic.
excellent - thanks for the uploads
Started kicking off in the globe inn, 1 old guy in 😂
That's kicking off for a scottish town pub 🤣
Belhaven Best is a decent pint.
Locally brewed 15 minutes up the road from me
Decent init
Hole in the Wall was the local of John Laurie(Private Fraser from dads army). Loads of photos of him on the walls yet no mention.
Was pretty cut by then 🤣
the amount of times you said "arms" instead of the right name 😂
Mate i know, noticed it when editing 🤣
The Queen of the South. It's lovely before you even see it!
It looks Scottish enough to me. But then so does Berwick, which I keep forgetting is in England. Carlisle and Penrith look a bit Scottish as well
Historically those towns and cities moved back and forth
My pals and I did a shite pub crawl there and honestly, you’ve just scratched the surface mate 😂. You’d be totally bladdered trying to do them all! There must be 25 pubs in the town centre.
Mate i know, can do 3 nights and never hit the same pub!
The Globe looks very cosy. Would enjoy a few pints by that fire.
Yeh was bangin that one
Props to the world's end pub playing HailMary 2pac lol
Bangin
Loved that pub when it was called the joker. Must be 40 yrs since I was in it.
Prague yesssssss, the most beautiful birds in the world
You know it
@@honestplaces cheers mate your vids are class, good on you.
You missed maryhill in Glasgow 😉
Dumfries is a lovely wee town in rural southern Scotland!
My old man is actually Robert Burns (Well, shares the same name haha) The hole in the wall looks like a nice little boozer!
He liked a swally oor rabbie burns fair done the touring and the pumping 😂
Nice one 👍 wonder how much a pint is in prague..
£2 on average for premium beer aswell 😭
@@honestplaces See you there mate 🤣
And here's another 😂. How did I miss this. Dumfries... The deep south to me. 😂✌️🏴... Should do Inverness. Great pubs in town there. And loads of history. I think you'll enjoy selection of bars.
I've only ever driven through as it's so far. But will do in the summer pal 👍
Try Greenock! It will win hands down.
Looks a dive 🤣
Shout out to Belhaven Best. Love the stuff. They used to do Belhaven Black which was a great stout but I don't know if its still going
Yeah, Belhaven Black is still being brewed. I've come across it in a couple of pubs in Northumberland recently. I found it quite nice, and I'm not usually a massive fan of Belhaven beers.
Danny Dyer-esque... lookin' for a spot of bovva... it's all gonna kick off... Dumfries looks ok to me in all fairness... however being a beardy old man in an arran sweater I am somewhat alarmed by the lack of cask ale options... obviously dodgy boozers don't tend to sell cask ale... in which case I revert to plan B... Guinness... more often than not though this is not a great idea... it seems a shame that ales native to these islands are poorly kept... and I'm not going down the Foster's, Carling, Coors road. Why do Brits drink terrible beer ?
Cask ales are dying. Is a shame to be fair, they are very weak now aswell!
@honestplaces try the Black Country specifically Tipton
Keep up the good work 👏
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
Ky favorite channel on the Tube
Good luck with your next adventure
Yeah, boii ,
Cheers pal
Live in Scotland never been to Dumfries and its pubs. Its on the to do list now though. 🎉
Good for a pubs sesh, that seems about it though
I could point you in the direction of much more dodgy areas than Dumfries mate. As one bloke says below try Bathgate, West Lothian. Also there's Drumchapel, Blackhill, Possil, Easterhouse, or Castlemilk which are all in Glasgow. Just outside Glasgow, try Cumbernauld.
Down south try Luton, Basildon, Hounslow, Peterborough, or Chelmsley Wood- which is West Midlands.
#GlazersOutNow
Too many pubs to get into init! 😭🍺 down south ones looks a shout!
#IAGREE
lol Bathgate dodgy? Its a commuter town with links to Edinburgh and Glasgow (a lot of professional people), has a community theatre and a bit too many posh venues to be dodgy. All the old mens pubs which could have been classed as dodgy are shut or have been revamped. Apart from Linlithgow its probably the safest place in West Lothian.
@@harryhill8543 Last time I was there it was an absolute Sh***hole. It was renowned for battles between them and Livingston. Whitburn which is just down the road is an absolute Cowp also! A good pal of mine from Bathgate couldn't wait to leave the place. Now granted that was 25 years ago. Are you telling me that Bathgate has gone through a massive improvement programme since then? It would have to have tens or maybe hundreds of millions spent on the place, huge housing developments, masses of brand new sports and arts facilities opened up along with many coffee shops and top restaurants. Under the SNP I'd be amazed especially as they have been cooking the books and helping themselves to tax payers money and buying themselves top of the range motorhomes 🤣
Cumbernauld?? You're at it! 😂😂😂
@@leannecampbell4551 No seriously. Last time I went for a pint in Cumbernauld the boozer had bars across the windows 😱
6:19 already hammered lol
🤫🤣
Hey Dan top name only saying that as its mine to. Great content love it, where you from brother? Seen you on Wendels vid as his northern muscle 😂 I'm in Salford
I did not expect to hear 2pac Ambitionz of Ridah blaring out in a Scottish pub 🤣👌
you need to go to swansea and the full moon mate . its a real eye opener 😂
Will be heading down south soon 👍
i have few you can try if you need any help 🙂👍🏻
if you go to swansea .get a bus towards penlan . and go to the penlan club and the coracle . then back to the city to the ali jenkins and maybe last to the full moon for the full crazy shithole experience . but swansea is getting better thank god .
0:54 That looks like Neil from the Young Ones TV comedy show.
Fucking shite lookalike.
Ayr has some rough pubs and plenty of them
Go for a pint in Kelty in Fife if ye want rough!
"Devorgilla, Lady of Galloway, lived from 1210 to 28 January 1290. One of the most powerful women of the age, she was hugely influential in her own right, and was the mother of one Scottish King, John Balliol."
Well that's some info for the viewers. Nice one 👍
Great. These. Videos. Come. To. Whitehaven. And. Workington. Cumbria.
Fuck that Derek bird wouldn't agree
Cheers pal. Too many to get through
get yasen to willenhall, darlaston and wednesbury in the black country, westmids. a lot of the pubs have shut down now but they are proper old drinking towns. if ya want dodgy pubs they're there lol.
nice place for a pint is shrewsbury. big up to the kings head, best pint of guinness and butty bach i've ever had.
Too many dingy pubs to go around! I'm in Shrewsbury soon, best be good!
Deffo needs to come to Shrews, my home town. Some ropey pubs in town as well
@@lcstfc doing a vid there in May pal 👍
@@honestplaces haha!
there was a young couple running the kings head but i think the pub may be under new management. ain't been there since the back end of last year.
@@honestplaces The Yorkshire House and The Nags Head in town i’d recommend for more ropey pubs, The Masonic, The Grove, The Compasses Inn and The Coach, The Heathgates in the suburbs as well
What's the splitting game, whoever stops sip closest???
i had a local BURNS TAVERN IN ROCHDALE . its flats now
Dumfries is not a rough town, been there many times.
Yeah the town isn't rough.
Try the schemes😂
Was thinking of visiting Dumfries, looks a bit drab though!
Still visit Scotland though 👍
Drab enough here too , south east England
Love your videos that pub in Birmingham were the bird behind the bar sorry that’s an insult to bids pulls the worst pint of Guinness ever is a dive these pubs look ok sorry if sounds daft just got back from the boozer
Mate yeh, i agree. That is the worst one i have ever had! On a Monday sesh?
Dumfries is a nice place been there a few times
What happened to the Salutation Arms?
Sacked it off for the globe opposite init
Compare to almost all Scottish Central belt towns Dumfries is NOT rough, a bit run down nowadays yes but a £20 million revamp is on the cards. Very nice range houses on outskirts and housing developments underway.
Huge demand for private houses
Most towns in Northern England are also far more neglected than Dumfries, it was voted best place in UK to stay in 1990s.
Dumfries...rough ? 😄😄😄
Exactly that’s quiet 😂 where was rough part
Is there GREEN MOLD everywhere in the city?
Seems it
@@honestplaces The Whitesands area down by the River Nith floods regularly, which might explain the dampness
Hi keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery
Cheers pal 👍
nothing personal, but every time i see you, i think of a snooker table cue ball!

Dumfries "a rough Scottish town" hahaha 😂
Dumfries is no rough 🤣
Where Robert the Bruce started his ascendancy….better known for Burns……rains hard….that river floods the whole area….been flooding since Moses was a boy…..no money gets spent South of Glasgow…..
