Blackfriars is a true Merchant City Institution. Opened in the late eighties by Allan Cunningham who then gave Glasgow The Brewery Tap in the west end this merchant city bar stands the test of time to this day.
If my memory serves me correctly Blackfriars also was the first bar to hold stand up comedy at the "Comic Club" in their basement with Fred Macaulay and Stu Who and their range of Ales regularly featured beers from across the UK and Belgium.
Allan moved to Sweden and I think he was opening a Blackfriars over there. Anyone know if he did?
