the cry was no 1,702 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Waterhouse in Balloch or Old Vale Bar in Alexandria Worth phoning to check if they're showing the games as some aren't also most clubs are members only due to Covid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I'd prefer the Bowling Club, but it's a members club, so you might get asked who you are and what school did you go to Masonic you might need signed in for. Stags is literally underneath Dumbarton East Station. Paisley Blue Loyal and SteveEarle like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was never really a Rangers bar per se anyway I guess, but I think its definitely now just a normal pub. You could never wear colours in it I'm pretty sure? If was the OP I'd be taking the trip to Helensburgh and off to the Royal. I can't remember the last time I was in the Stags tbf. Last time I was in Dumbarton (last season after a game) I was in the CJL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit - opens next weekend, will need to suss it out though. Luckily enough a foreign guy took it over, was so close to being a tarrier boozer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's still the same clientele that's in it, but had a few different owners past 10-years or so. I've seen guys in there with Union jack clobber, the odd Rangers polo shirt and I was in last week when it was sunny with a loyalist tattoo on my leg and was OK. A bus still picks up/drops off on match day but in all honesty it's never been an actual Rangers pub in the sense of sash bashes, guys in wearing colours, singing etc. The bowling clubs or the Masonic is your best bet. The Rock down at the castle is my preference. McEwan's Lager likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mond 4 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Glen Roy (Lomond Park Hotel) or Waterhouse be fine. Both Balloch. Shite watching in the boozer though due to no sound allowed on the telly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is still Rangers friendly. But they're a bit strict with numbers just now with covid. Be hard to just walk in on a Saturday at half 5 with the game on and still get a table that can get a good view of a tele. @giffnockger McEwan's Lager likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not seen you post for a while, hope all is good 👍 Doesn't answer your question, but loved the Balloch house hotel, Saturday afternoon theyd have some good folk with guitars, fiddles and stuff, a good wee afternoon, probably done away with now due to Covid, take care mate, enjoy the game wherever 🇬🇧 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
