Around the Town
The Wee Howff, High St (20 mins from ground)
My favouite and local. Small cozy pub with the best Guinness in town so the Landlord Danny will no doubt tell you, also carries two permenate real ales and a guest ale, worth a vist.
The Bull Inn, New St (20 mins from ground)
Has just celebrated it's 100th birthday. It's one of only a handfull of pubs in Scotland that has been given an 'A' Historical listing by Camera. If you ever visit you'll see why. It's simply a beautiful pub with a collection of snugs at the back. Great selection of beer and ales. Must see.
Around the Train & Bus Station (south side 15 min to ground)
The Last Post - Next to the train station on County Square ii's a cavernous typical Witherspoons pub. Cheapish beer and food available. Handy if your hanging around to meet someone who doesn't know Paisley very well. Lacks character.
Lang's - Around the corner from The Last Post it's on Moss St. Straight forward boozer and a buddies pub. Well Priced
Hamishes House - Round the corner and under the bridge from the train and bus links. Not traditional as the name may suggest and relatively pricey. One good point is that if you buy a meal, kids under 12 eat free. Offer ends at 7pm saturdays.
Around the Ground
Caledonia Bar, Caledonia St (5 mins from ground).
Largish bar and lounge with a strangly low ceiling. All recently rennovated with nice plush seating. Jukey, big screen, Kronenburg on tap and pool table.
The Cottage Arms, Mossvale Lane (2 min from ground).
Just past the ground coming from Paisley. Difficult to find, it's just off Caledonia St after the bowling ground. At first I thought it was a delerict public toilet but once inside it was surprisingly clean and roomy, with large bar and lounge. As is generally the case, a straight forward selection of beers but it does have Budwieser on tap. Most fans will probably end up here as most of the bus and car parking near the ground are in this area.
The Wee Barrel, Love St (5 min from ground).
Paisley's oldest pub and a favourite of Rod Stewart. It's a cracking wee pub (only one on Love St) which has kept most of it's original character. Old pictures on the wooden paneled walls etc. Good selection of beer and well priced. During match days no food is available and all the tables and chairs are removed to make enough room for the punters i.e. standing room only. Also noticed several copies of The Wee Red Book behind the bar always a good sign of a football supporters pub. The one massive drawback is that it is a total buddies pub and your may have to run the guantlet down Love St as you try to get to the away end.
