Good God! Tamsons has closed!!

"In a social media post on Sunday night, the bar’s owner said: “Sadly decision has been made to move on from my time at Tamsons." Doesn't know what the future holds.

We'll all have many stories of our visits to Tamsons aka Hibs Central.

Greencol and I were there the day we met you. I thought it looked pretty tired but they still served a lovely pint of Guinness - aye the toilet facilities were rather rough too. Shame, it was a decent pub for a pre-match pint.

We went in before the final derby, no beer left so had to make do with a double Highland park ffs!

Aye when a pub has nae beer it’s not looking good - Highland Park would help ease the pain though.

Ithink that’s where my auld man took me for my first legal pint 22 years ago it was a night game so could be wrong

When I first joined the bounce, I went in to Tamsons to meet fellow bouncers at the recommendation of Naked Chef, who used to frequent the site. I got in tow with a few then bounce regulars I think I may have gone in there with you once too.

My abiding memory of Tamsons was returning from ibrox after stuffing the hun in the cup 0-3.
Walked in and BigG was in charge of the jukebox and the drink was flowing freely!

Naked Chef whatever happened to her?

Married some loser I believe.

 

[Power]

Great memories.

A pub synonymous with this website and posters that frequent this place, including Bounce Tours starting (and finishing) there over the years.

A sign of the times. Good to still see most of the regular faces from the place in either the Iona or Strathmore these days.

Bounce Tours had many starting (and finishing) points.
And not all of us wore lycra.

Froze to death.

Another one..

 

[Greenmachine]

Sad to see so many famous boozers closing down.

 

[southfieldhibby]

Pretty confident it’ll continue as a pub, maybe not in its current guise, but I reckon the licence there will be maintained

She married Stretch...?

 

[Bofahibee]

Sad. I spent a fair few hours in there including the early hours of the new millenium (surrounded by some sorry states of which I was easily the worst)

The thought of you in Lycra is enough to terrify anyone.

 

[HaarlemShuffler]

Mind back no long after a bounce trip tae Groningen coming tae Embra, watchin a fame and having a great few lare night beers in Tamsons with Big G and a few other bouncers there who laughed at how non-Scottish they thought my accent was.

But I had the last laugh by getting completely sozzled, missing ma bus and getting an expensive taxi back tae na sister's. So there

 

[paigntonhibby]

Fuckin sad. That is .my go to pub to meet pals when I come up. Been drinking there for years

 

[Uncy]

I loved that place.

 

[Hibee Kev]

Hardly any boozers left on ER. The Mash Tun appears to have re-opened again but not sure how long it'll last. It's usually our pre-match choice as they generally show the fitba and allow kids in.

 

[paigntonhibby]

I loved that place.

Yep, met you in there a few years back
