Officially, this pub was called The Great Northern Bar, but the locals who drank there just referred to it as Bob MacKay's.
The photo was taken in the 60's at a location that no longer exists - the corner of Westport & North Tay Street.
For those of us (like me) who didn't socialise until a little later in the 70's, this spot here was the big car park space beside the Barracuda.
At the time of the photo however, it was the JM Ballroom that was just a few doors up from it, so needless to say, despite it being considered a bit of an old mans pub, the young set would often pop in for a couple of pints before nipping along to the JM.
The pub, along with the rest of corner area, was demolished in 1968.
