Being born in Glasgow. The Rock Garden on Queen Street, Chimmy Chungas on Great Western Road, Oblimovs on Byers Road. All gone, but many, many great nights in these back in the day. Almost forgot Fury Murrays for the dancing.
Babbitty Bowsters still in the Merchant City along with Rab Ha's and Blackfriars.
Was in the Prince of Wales during the summer, still a cracking pub.

I missed out another pub i used to frequent for watching fitba and also with Mrs Pac during our courting and living in toon spell. The Highland Hotel. Decent pub too. Very good for the fitba with the free food at half time. Been a while now though
Edit- i remember going for a sunday roast there with Mrs Pac and the chef was putting a new ham out and it fell off the skewer thing landing in the juices in the tray coving Mrs Pac in it. Funny as f@ck. Had to hide my laughing that night. They paid for her jacket to get dry cleaned and we got our food free too. Worth the greasy soaking

Underage wise it was the cavalier (afore boogaloos) and the bells.
Town days the Belmont,Jamies,Tamels and Tatlers. Never a fan of nightclubs but mostly went to the one in the old Rosslyn sports basement but its name I cannot recall.
Locally wise it was the Don View or Parkway.
The Egg and Dart was a favourite for hanging out, even though it was a drive from where we lived.
Weekends if we ended up in town it ranged from:
Gabriels
ZigZags
Cotton Club
Franklins
Henry J Beans
Barnies
Ministry of Sin
Video Plex
Betty Burkes
I dinna miss those days at all.
My god houston, that's a fair list of s'hite pubs.
The Hay Loft was carnage before The Palace, bodies flying down the stairs.
I only ever went to the Palace about half a dozen times after I started work ( jan - feb 1975)
Wasn't really my scene man
No disco music for the young donsdaft.
No disco music for the old version either.
First pint in the Crown, Elgin aged 16.50p a pint
Progressed to the White Horse, Newmarket, the Golden Pheasant, and dance the night away at the El Cid, or Bishops.
In Aberdeen it would be the Belmont on a Saturday afternoon , maybe the go go place down the Adelphi (Kim circa '87, ooft),followed later by Henry Js, Buzz Beez, Ma's, and Cafe Royale, Ritzy.Though often headed down to Dobbies Ale house, or the Moorings to check out the bands
Happy days

First underage beer was in the Hawthorn closely followed by by second underage beer which was in the Malt Mill.
Egg and Dart was a good een for those weekends when you were still at school, almost old enough to legally drink but not quite. Along with the old Albyn at Queens Cross where the Clydesdale Bank is now.
before the fitba it varied, Belmont, Star and garter, there was a phase of Henry J Beans for doubles for the price of singles pre match.
The Venue was the 'club' of choice, normally tied in with the Drift inn, Freelands, Tilted Wig (Welly Boot)
Ritzys on a Monday, Caesars Palace, Fever on a Sunday night.
Cafe Royale used to be an after work haunt for a good while as well.
Ahhh...good times.
