Well its official, we handed back the keys for the Argyll bar today, it will not be opening back up for a while at least. I'm not gonna go into the details, but we had a tough decision to make, not one we wanted to make, but that's it done now.
We want to thank absolutely everyone that supported us, and to all our regulars, and occasional visitors we owe you guys loads.
For every quiz team that had that one person who would show up and convince you that your correct answer was wrong, thank you
For every person that came to play bingo, with the Hope's of shouting "HOUSE" only to be beaten to the punch by that jammy (insert favourite swear word here) every time. Thank you
For all the poker folks that came down every Wednesday and Sunday, hoping to win it all, only to be put out early by an idiot call or a terrible river card. Then prop up the bar going into every detail of how you should have won, and how unlucky you where to bar staff that knew nothing about poker. Thankyou
To every fantastic singer that joined us for karaoke, and also the ones that thought they were robbie William's at knebworth, but sounded like ozzy Osbourne shouting in his house. Thankyou
To all the questionable dancers, and dodgy tune requesters that joined us on a Saturday night. Thankyou
To the folks that came in from tenable till the chase every day. Thank you.
To all our sports fans who followed the 6 nations, the football, the tennis and more, who shouted, screamed, and even shed the occasional tears. Thankyou
To everyone else that visited our happy little pub. Thankyou.
And to all our staff, current and past. We could not have done this without you. You have been amazing, hardworking, and a great bunch of people to be around. Thankyou.
Me and Emma took on the Argyll almost 5 years ago, it's been a challenge at times but it has been an amazing journey, it's a shame it had to finish this way.
The Argyll was a great pub to be in and that was because of the people it attracted, I'm a firm believer that it's the customers that make a pub great, we may have ran the Argyll, you guys are who made it what it is.
We started the pub with, a good bunch of friends, and a lot of customers, as we close the doors we may not have anymore customers but we have a hell of a lot more friends than what we started with.
Thankyou to everyone, we love you all.
P.s anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking guy who is always got a bit of banter get in touch 😀👍
We'll see you lovely folks of Helensburgh around. Take care guys.
Stu and Emma ###
