A weekend of Rock n Roll and Brain Testing

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.

Pub Quiz Nights in Renfrewshire – Go Test Your Brain!

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

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.

We’ll continue to add pubs and bars until we’ve every pub and bar in Renfrewshire listed. If you know of a pub that deserves to be listed sooner rather than later, contact us and let us know!

The Renfrewshire Pubs website is now open!

Welcome to the first of many announcements on RenfrewshirePubs.co.uk! We thought we’d get the ball rolling by announcing our launch and our intention to now work towards adding every pub in Renfrewshire to our database. A big task, no doubt, but ultimately worth it we think.

Why are we doing this?

Well, we’re all aware of the possibilities of advertising across the Internet, but we also appreciate that not every pub or bar has budget to spend on such activity, even if they want to get involved. So we’ve launched this site specifically to promote on behalf of Renfrewshire Publicans. We want to see just what impact we can make by applying our experience of Internet Marketing and helping out our local establishments.

What do the good Publicans need to do?
They don’t have to do anything if they’d prefer not to. However, we built this to help them promote everything about their pubs and bars. Whether it be charity nights, race nights, wins in the local darts league, special offers, screenings of sports events or any other bit of information that might encourage readers to find out more, we want publicans to send it to us so that we can then distribute it across the website, through our social media platforms (including Facebook) and through our regular eMarketing Newsletter.

Now what?

Well, it’s going to take time to add every pub and patience to make sure we get all the information correct. We’ll work away on that part of the process, but if you want to email details of a pub, it would be very much appreciated (just email pubdetails@renfrewshirepubs.co.uk). You don’t have to own the pub, you could just be a regular. As long as the details are accurate, we don’t mind who sends them! (we need pub name, address, phone number, picture (if possible), website if they have one and Facebook page if they have one).

Advertising
Most of this venture is being supported through advertising on the site. We’ll keep it related to Renfrewshire and the surrounding area as possible, allowing us to help other local business in the process. So, if you are a Renfrewshire (or surrounding area) business looking to advertise to all who may use this site, check out our advertising options and contact us for pricing. You can advertise on this site for as little as £30 per month!

What pubs are already on the site?
Not to many yet, but we’re working on it! Some initial pubs, however, include The Brown Bull (Lochwinnoch), The Ferry Inn (Renfrew), Braehead Tavern (Inchinnan) and The River Inn (Crosslee) .

If you’d like your pub or bar added sooner rather than later, email us the details as above.
