The mens restroom is still super sketch but I think well just all have to start using the (cleaner) womens restroom. Yes, I am that old (gasps in gay) that I remember the Eagle. I think if anybody could find a Gay News from the period you would find Tennents listed in the pubs section. 7 reviews of Purgatory 'It is what Club Essence and The SA Eagle should have been all along. I cannot, of course, comment on its current status. On entering through the Byres Road doors, the right hand side was where most gays congregated.It was also obviously popular with gay students, myself being one so can personally verify the above as truth. In my dictionary a rumour 'is a currently circulating story of unverified or doubtful truth'.įACT is that in the 70s and 80s Tennents was not a gay bar in the same, almost exclusive, sense that The Duke of Wellington or Vintners were but was gay friendly and frequented by a sizeable gay crowd on a regular basis.
