There has been a pub on this site since at least 1875 owned by Wine & Spirit Merchant James Dewar, he also had pubs at 48 Commerce Street, 227 Cowcaddens, 225 New City Road, 27 West Russell Street and 247 Duke Street.



In 1897 Robert Wilson Armstrong acquired the licence, when Robert passed away his wife Jane took over the business. The family continued in this Gushet bar until the late 1950s, Matthew and Robert were both licensee. In 1960 Ronald Williamson took over the licence as trustee, he also took over the old pub at 3-5 Greendyke Street at the Glasgow Green for the late Joseph Anderson. The old Gushet Bar was used by students in the early part of the 70s and was finaly demolished when the Cowcaddens was raided by the bulldozer's in the mid 1970s.

Lyon St. To mark the fallen from this small, cramped street, a detachment from the nearby Maryhill Barracks would march down Garscube Rd on November 11th each year.The last post would be sounded, a lone piper would play "Flowers of the Forest" and a plaque marking the dead would be brought out from the Garscube Bar. Although this ended at the start of WW2, there is a replica plaque in a local primary school and another in Woodside Library.
