Poker Nights, Pubs Quiz Nights and Live Music – Part of our new Events in Renfrewshire Section

Leave a comment

As part of our aim to cover all sorts of social activity within Pubs, Bars and Inns across Renfrewshire, we can now announce the new section of our site focused on Events in Renfrewshire.

This section of the site will run alongside our regular event updates on Facebook, but rather than post every week on Facebook about weekly pub quiz nights, weekly poker nights and so on, we thought we’d simply create a list of weekly events for you to refer to.

We’ll continue to use Facebook events to let you know of individual bands playing in the area, or one off events such as comedy nights and psychic night, but will keep details of karaoke nights, quiz nights etc on site.

To get started, the first events added within our new Events in Renfrewshire pages include the weekly Poker League hosted by pubs across Renfrewshire, pub quiz nights hosted by pubs across Renfrewshire and of course a list of all the live music we’ve been made aware of so far.

We’ll soon be adding other events and more live music as pubs and bands make us aware of dates.

As always, if you’ve any events you’d like added, please let us know.

A weekend of Rock n Roll and Brain Testing

Leave a comment

For those who haven’t heard them play before, GrooveFellas are described as delivering a selection of Loud, Dirty, Mean, Raw and Vicious Rock ‘n’ Roll. With a description like that, why wouldn’t you go to see them!

We’ve had a couple of Gigs listed for the GrooveFellas guys and after chatting to them, we’re hoping to provide detail on more gigs in the near future. This weekend they are playing The Howwood Inn, Howwood … so get along and support them.

If you can’t make it along, don’t worry. They’ll also be playing The Trust Inn, Kilbarchan in March.

Not really in the mood for Rock n Roll? Then why not try one of the Pub Quiz nights that are going on this weekend. We’re still collecting information on more locations, but can tell you on good knowledge that there is a Pub Quiz in the Houston Inn tonight, and another in Harrys Bar, Renfrew, on Sunday night.

We’re also collecting information on a number of other events such as Poker, Darts, Psychic nights and karaoke nights, so if anyone knows of any coming up in Renfrewshire, that we don’t have listed on Facebook or in our Renfrewshire Events pages, drop us an email and let us know.

After scouring the web, we’ve decided that the good folks of Renfrewshire must be among the brightest in the country, based simply on the number of Pub Quiz nights that appear to happen in the area.

So, to give the punters a helping hand in finding their nearest pub quiz night, and to allow Pubs, Bars and Inns across Renfrewshire to promote their own quiz night, we’ve decided to start this list.

So far we’ve only added what we can confirm as definites, but if you know of a regular pub quiz night in Renfrewshire that we’ve not mentioned, let us know and we’ll add it to the list!

We currently know of the following:

Pub Quiz Nights in Houston:
The Fox and Hounds, Every Tuesday @ 9pm
The Houston Inn, Every Friday

Pub Quiz Nights in Johnstone:
Callums Bar, Every Thursday @ 8:00pm

Pub Quiz Nights in Lochwinnoch:
The Brown Bull, Every Tuesday @ 8:30pm

Pub Quiz Nights in Renfrew:
Harrys Bar, Every Sunday @ 9pm
The Viscount, Every Monday

A Successful First Week for the Renfrewshire Pubs Website

Leave a comment

It seems a long time ago, but actually the Renfrewshire Pubs website only went live on the Internet 8 days ago, and already it’s proving popular with pubs and locals alike.

After just 8 days, we’ve already listed over 60 pubs across Renfrewshire including Pubs in Paisley, Pubs in Johnstone, Pubs in Renfrew, Pubs in Bridge of Weir, Pubs in Houston and more.

We’ve also built up over 30 followers on Facebook. Not a huge amount, some might say, but at the rate of 3 to 4 new followers each day, we’re looking forward to seeing what that number is at in a few weeks!

Most importantly, we’ve been in communication with several pubs, with some asking us to list their establishment and others confirming that they’ll be sending event details to us for February.

We’ll continue to add pubs, bars and Inns and will continue to post news, events and offers as we find out about them, to keep you informed.

If you’re not already following us on Facebook, head over to our Facebook Page and Like us. If you do already Like us, then suggest us to your friends!

Thanks to all who have contributed so far.
