Team behind The Pot Still reveal plans for pub near Hampden Park
The family-run team behind one of Glasgow's most celebrated whisky bars is preparing for a busy summer season after taking ownership of a popular Southside pub near Hampden Park. Late last year, it was announced that the Murphys would be taking over The Clockwork in Mount Florida after more than a decade at the helm of city centre institution, The Pot Still. Though the news came as a pleasant surprise to some, others familiar with Pot Still were well aware of the strong connection Frank Murphy holds with the bar. 'I've always wanted Clockwork, and waiting for it to come on the market felt like a long time coming,' he told The Herald. 'I started working there when it had just been opened by Robin and Gay Graham as the Clockwork Beer Company on Cathcart Road in 1997. 'I had learned a fair bit about beer and whisky while working with my dad, who used to own pubs like The Arlington, and various other hospitality roles after that, but this place was another level. 'A six-foot double fridge full of German beers at a time such fridges were usually rammed full of Bud, fruit beers from Belgium, varieties of Hoegaarden I never knew existed, magnums of Trappist ales, and over 20 draught beers. 'I was working half of my time at the bar and half at the brewery, learning how to brew beer. 'But then the chance to reinvigorate the Pot Still came along, and it was too good an opportunity to pass up.' Both Frank and his sister Geraldine had previously worked at the Pot Still in the early 00s under then-owner Kenny Storrie and knew they could be the perfect fit for the small but characterful unit on Hope Street. With the help of their father, Brian, who had decades of experience running high-profile pubs in and around Glasgow, the Murphys officially took over the bar in 2011. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength, continuing the family-run tradition of The Pot Still and building a collection of over 1,000 whiskies from all over the world on the gantry. Pictured: Mad Men star Christina Hendricks visits The Pot Sill (via Instagram) (Image: The Pot Still) Famous faces to have visited over the years include everyone from Mad Men star Christina Hendricks to English heavy metal outfit, Iron Maiden, while of a weekend, locals sit side by side with international visitors from all over the globe in search of the finest whisky Scotland has to offer. Brian eventually retired in 2023, with daughter Katie Ritchie taking over his place, not long before another opportunity would present itself with The Clockwork. 'We had been on the lookout for another pub for years and went for a few we didn't get, maybe because we were too timid or not fast enough.' Murphy continued. 'The Clockwork isn't exactly what we would have picked as our second venue because it's such a large unit. I mean, the function space upstairs is probably bigger than the entire Pot Still. 'But we couldn't not take the chance, because we knew if we didn't go for it now, someone else would.' Taking over from the Three Thistle Pub company, Murphy and his family team are now hard at work to re-establish Clockwork's standing as 'one of the best pubs in Glasgow'. 'There will always be a bit of overlap between The Clockwork and Pot Still, but there's no point in trying to do the exact same thing in both pubs. 'What we want to do is try and get the guys who drink in Pot to come to the Southside and see us over there, where it won't have to be quite as classic. 'We're focusing a lot more on blended malts because that's where a lot of the action is at the moment, thanks to guys like Woven Whisky in Leith.' As well as reintroducing a selection of German and Belgian beers, the bar also takes lead from events at Hampden Park stadium to explore a range of worldwide spirits. 'When the women's team were playing the Netherlands recently, I put up a bottle of whisky from Millstone in the Netherlands, and when Scotland play Iceland this month, I've got a smoky whisky from Floki in Iceland. 'They don't have peat, so they have to use another form of rapidly decomposing vegetation to smoke their barley, which is sheep s***. "...It's really not as bad as it sounds. 'Then there are big gigs at Hampden with Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar and Chris Brown. 'The only problem with that is that they are three very different acts, and I have no idea what those crowds will drink. 'If it were someone like the Foo Fighters, we would be preparing to sell a lot of beers and Jack Daniels, but we'll figure it out.' Alongside catering to customers old and new in Mount Florida, Murphy is also looking forward to the chance to add his own mark to Clockwork, with an ultimate goal to reinstate the microbrewery side of the business so that the smell of hops will 'cascade through the building' once more. 'Clockwork was the last place I worked before we took over the Pot Still, so I know it very well, but over the years it's been refurbished within an inch of its life with a lot of the parts I liked the most cut away,' he said. 'We're now fixing that, but it's a daunting task. 'When my dad had pubs, he made sure that we understood why he would buy another place even if one was already doing well. 'While the Pot Still is still running absolutely fine and there's no reason to kill that golden goose, we lease it, which means that we will never fully own it, and there's a limit to the changes we can make. 'It's the engine of everything we do, but we could be kicked out tomorrow with nothing but our bottles of whisky. 'Every single brick at Clockwork is now family owned and ours to do what we want with, that's really important to us and offers a bit of security. 'It's brought us a new challenge, and it's a big one, but it can't be the last one. 'I want to continue what we're doing and spread the good word further.' The Clockwork Bar is located at 1153 to 1155 Cathcart Road, Glasgow.

Teddi Mellencamp cuts a glamorous figure in plunging sheer dress as she attends the Gracie Awards after latest health update amid cancer battle
Teddi Mellencamp looked incredible as she attended The Alliance For Women In Media Foundation's 50th Annual Gracie Awards in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, 43, put on a showstopping display for the event as she slipped into a black sheer dress with a plunging neckline. The garment featured a floral patterned detail and long sleeves while she added height to her frame with a pair of heels. Wearing a light palette of makeup, Teddi completed her look with a gold necklace and silver earrings. Also in attendance at the event was fellow RHOBH star Kyle Richards who donned a black off the shoulder dresss with a sheer detail. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Halloween star styled her brunette locks into loose waves and sat alongside Teddi during the dinner. Meanwhile, Christina Hendricks cut a glamorous figure in a black short sleeved dress with a floral print, pairing it with a matching handbag. Jimmy Kimmel looked suave in a black suit as he attended the event with his wife Molly McNearney. TV host Norah O'Donnell looked incredible in a bright red dress with a sweetheart neckline as she posed alongside Monica Lewinsky and journalist Jo Ling Kent. Teddi was first diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in 2022, but her condition took a terrifying turn earlier this year when it progressed to Stage 4 after doctors discovered multiple brain tumors. However, Teddi recently revealed her tumors have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free. 'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she shared in a video posted to her Instagram. Teddi — who previously revealed she was given a 'fifty-fifty' chance of survival — said that she has two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, 'and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.' In February, multiple tumors were found on her brain and she underwent emergency surgery. Additional tumors were then discovered on her brain and lungs. Mellencamp was initially diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. The incredible news comes after Teddi admitted she was 'preparing her children for the worst.' Earlier this month she also revealed that her famous father John Mellencamp, 73, was planning her burial, asking whether she would be buried in the 'family mausoleum.' At the end of her new video Teddi shared: 'I am going to keep a positive outlook, because that's the way my doctor just spoke to me. He was like, "you did this. You got this."' Toward the end, she added that her doctor had jokingly reassured her, 'You got that Mellencamp blood, so you're good.' The reality TV star revealed that the tumors in her brain and lungs have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free The TV personality has been battling skin cancer since her diagnosis in 2022 and has kept her fans up-to-date with the journey on social media. Teddi, who previously said she felt she was on her 'deathbed', was pictured smiling in the video, as she told her fans the positive news, admitting that the happy 'crying' was already done. She sported a buzzcut, after having to shave her blonde hair for her surgery in February, along with a black Alo jacket and a white t-shirt. In her caption she wrote: 'One update I couldn't wait to share! All tumors stage 4 (metastasized melanoma in my brain and lungs) shrunk or disappeared so I have 6ish more weeks of immunotherapy and doctors believe I will be healed if everything stays on course.' 'Thank you to everyone who has sent their love, prayers, and positivity ❤️❤️❤️'. Teddi — who has already undergone more than 20 surgeries during her two and a half year cancer battle — also posted a gruesome image of stitches on her head following her brain surgery in February. Another image showed Teddi with her long blonde hair as she posed with pal Tamra, with the caption, '2 days before realizing I was living with multiple brain and lung tumors for over 6 months to a year.' After sharing the happy news, the grateful star also posted a snap with a pal as she thanked her 'loving friends and family who have been there for me through all of this.' The previous night, she had also shared a photo of her sister, Justice, at her hospital bedside after the surgery. Teddi appeared on ABC's Nightline last week and said that doctors have given her a 'fifty-fifty' chance on survival as she still receives immunotherapy treatment. During her interview, Mellencamp expressed: 'One of my favorite things to ask is "How long I got?" or "What are my chances?" and they oftentimes say "fifty-fifty."' 'Fifty-fifty? I wouldn't buy a car that's only gonna drive 50-percent chance of the time. I don't want this,' was her reply. Mellencamp said that her doctors explained the reason for those odds were that immunotherapy had only been around for about a decade 'and that's how long the study has worked.' The TV personality also shared the scary symptoms she had before learning she had several brain tumors. And the star shared them with her fans so they know how to react in case they suffer from a similar problem. Another image showed Teddi with her long blonde hair as she posed with pal Tamra Judge, with the caption, '2 days before realizing I was living with multiple brain and lung tumors for over 6 months to a year' After sharing the happy news, the grateful star also posted a snap with a pal as she thanked her 'loving friends and family who have been there for me through all of this' Mellencamp had debilitating headaches for months, until one day her vision was severely impaired: 'I couldn't see. I mean, I could barely get down the stairs.' The star quickly called her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, 47, who rushed her to the hospital. 'That's when they said I had four plumb-size tumors in my brain and then within the next day I was in surgery,' she told host Deborah Roberts. 'My first real memory was looking up and my entire family was there. My dad, my sister, my brothers, all of my best friends, and I'm being like, "Hold on, why are y'all here? And chatting? This must be bad,"' she explained with a chuckle. Since then she has undergone radiation therapy to shrink remaining tumors, including some in her lungs, ringing the bell to signal the end of that treatment in a video on social media. The couple have put their divorce on hold for now, and Arroyave is standing by his wife of some 14 years. On a recent episode of The Eds podcast, Arroyave revealed he was all in. 'People think that's hard, but for me, that's just what I do,' the entrepreneur explained. 'Like it's no matter what, I will always love Teddi and she's been a big part of my life. And I like taking care of people, it's just what I do. So it wasn't even like, a question.' Mellencamp and Arroyave are parents to daughter Slate, 12, son Cruz 10, and daughter Dove, five, along with Arroyave's daughter Isabella. In March, after more tumors were discovered in her brain and lungs, Teddi reportedly began preparing her kids for 'the worst.' 'Teddi is a fighter – anyone who has watched Real Housewives can attest to that,' Radar reported at the time. 'But it just saps her fighting spirit to think she had beaten this, only to receive another horrible diagnosis. She had told her children that mommy's sick, but she is going to be okay, and now it's tearing her up to lay out the dark truth to them.' 'Teddi does her very best to remain optimistic through her ordeals, but her main thought is with her family and beating this cancer for their sake.' Earlier this week the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star broke down in tears while discussing her three children this week. She began crying in a conversation with with Entertainment Tonight as she recalled explaining to her estranged husband: 'I'm like, "I don't think you understand the debilitating pain that I feel some days thinking about the fact that, like, my kids..."' 'That is extremely frightening. My kids are young,' she told reporter Nischelle Turner. Teddi remembered a particularly emotional moment when she was in the hospital after undergoing emergency brain surgery to remove several tumors. 'I was like, "I feel like today might be Dove's birthday,"' she recalled saying to her husband. 'And Edwin's like, "It is. It's her party today that you planned.'" Tears streamed down her face as she went on to say, 'And I was like, "Can they please just let me out for today?"' Earlier this month she revealed that her famous father John Mellencamp, 73, was planning her burial, asking whether she would be buried in the 'family mausoleum'; John and Teddi seen above in 2022 She credited Edwin with providing the perfect response: 'We'll throw another one.' On a recent episode of her Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Tamra, Mellencamp explained her dad had called to make sure she would be laid to rest in the family mausoleum. 'He goes, "Well you're doing your will right now, so you may as well put it in there."' In spite of the dark humor, Mellencamp said her father 'always taught me to be a fighter.' For now, the determined patient is taking each day as it comes. 'I think the biggest thing is don't take anything for granted. Normally, I'm used to running seven miles, today, I'm barely walking one, but you know what? I'm here and that makes me feel good. These are special times that we get to do any of this.' The TV personality has been battling skin cancer since her diagnosis in 2022 and has kept her fans up-to-date with the journey on social media.

The Enduring Style Legacy of 'Mad Men' Women
Earlier this year, I found myself enthralled by an impromptu rewatch of Mad Men — the seductive period drama about the golden age of advertising during the 1960s that concluded its seven-season run almost exactly 10 years ago, on May 17, 2015. As someone who's still trying to discern, a decade later, whether Don Draper (Jon Hamm) found nirvana in the end or simply went back to shilling soda, it was impossible to not be lured in. The visually rich series is captivating, thanks in part to its mesmerizing and meticulously researched costume design, helmed by Deadwood , The Last Tycoon , and 1883 —is a master of her craft. And the sartorial evolutions of Mad Men 's complex, painfully flawed characters prove as much. Jordin Althaus/AMC/Everett Collection Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris on Mad Men. Joan Sees Green The ability to choose and create a life for oneself irrespective of societal expectations is a central theme of the show. But for the female characters, it's a power struggle on the brink of boiling over. The second part of season 7 takes place from April to November 1970. The turbulent '60s are spilling into the '70s; though Roe v. Wade would not be decided for another three years, second-wave feminism and women's liberation are on the rise. Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) understands these changing cultural tides when she confronts the cruel McCann Erickson executive Jim Hobart (H. Richard Greene) about the $500,000 she's owed as a former partner of SC&P, following McCann's acquisition of the agency. During this exchange, she's wearing an emerald green ensemble and gold jewelry, which essentially scream, 'Show me the money.' Even so, Jim chauvinistically belittles her partnership and the value she brings to the company, instructing her to play nice with a gross colleague who's making unwanted passes at her, or else expect a letter from their lawyer. 'I wonder how many women around here would like to speak to a lawyer,' Joan retorts. 'I believe the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has one.' She threatens to file a complaint, arguing the ACLU would be in her office and Betty Friedan in the lobby 'with half the women who marched down 5th Avenue.' (Friedan led the Women's Strike for Equality on Aug. 26, 1970.) When this scene first aired 10 years ago, I remember practically lunging off my couch, cheering on Joan for going toe-to-toe with the show's most formidable villain figure. Initially, it felt like a departure from the compromising positions Joan had previously been put in by men, when she was forced to choose between safety and survival. Take, for example, season 5 episode 11, aptly titled 'The Other Woman,' when Joan officially enters the boys' club. She becomes a voting partner after agreeing to sleep with a sleazy Jaguar rep who's been eyeing her so the agency can secure the account. After the deed is done, she walks into the office with her newly-minted status and partnership stake, wearing yet another money-hued look—a fitted dress, adorned with a gold brooch, plus her signature gold pen necklace, and a scarf in shades of (you guessed it) green. A woman securing her financial future and climbing the ranks of a male-dominated industry should be celebrated, and Hendricks masterfully plays the role without any semblance of shame. However, it's hard to stomach the reality that Joan was presented with an unfair choice from the outset. She could either be responsible for the agency not landing Jaguar's business and still struggle to make ends meet herself (by this point in the show, she was the family breadwinner and a single mother) or sell her body, name her price, and be set for life. Sure, she had choices. They weren't good choices, but they were choices. So, instead, she was pragmatic. That's how it is when men continually call the shots. In contesting Jim, though, Joan threw pragmatism out the window and stood up for her worth. Unfortunately, that effort, however noble and necessary, would only go so far in a patriarchal world that was hardly ready to accept women as equals. (And, let's be honest, still isn't ready.) 'I'm willing to give you 50 cents on the dollar to never see your face again,' Jim counteroffers, diminishing not only her monetary value but also notably insulting her beauty, the commodity that has curried her the most favor throughout her career, for better or worse. Bryant brilliantly bookends these scenes with Joan outfitted in, yes, the color of cash but also the color of growth. Ultimately, her former boss and paramour Roger Sterling (John Slattery) convinces her to take the buyout, even though it wasn't what she was promised. 'It's plenty,' he tells her. Is it? Once again, she's left with no good choices and must settle for the most palatable path forward, even if that means (literally) cutting her losses. Jordin Althaus/AMC/Everett Collection The Politics of Peggy Few on-screen scenes leave such an impression that they are forever emblazoned on my brain, like when Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) struts into the McCann offices after finally receiving her delayed office assignment. Sporting a mod mixed-print minidress that has since been cemented in the Meme Hall of Fame, Peggy embraces the change in environment as best as she can. She enters this new phase of life with unabashed boldness, complete with dark sunglasses, a cigarette dangling from her mouth just so, and sexually explicit artwork in tow ( This now-iconic moment in television history exemplifies the manner in which Peggy must tiptoe along the gender line to advance her career. Her decidedly feminine frock, coupled with the art piece which centers female pleasure, juxtaposes the brooding, mysterious masculinity of the other accessories. 'You know I need to put men at ease,' Peggy tells Roger earlier in the episode when he gives her the Hokusai piece. Does she, though? Do any of us? I'm reminded of the advice Bobbie Barrett (Melinda McGraw), one of Don's many flings, gives Peggy in season 2, shortly after she's plucked from secretarial obscurity and promoted to copywriter: 'No one will tell you this, but you can't be a man. Don't even try. Be a woman. It's a powerful business when done correctly.' This idea resurfaces in season 5, episode 4, when Peggy stays late at work one night and discovers Don's secretary, Dawn Chambers (Teyonah Parris), sleeping at the office. She's afraid; racial tensions around Harlem are escalating following nationwide race riots in 1966. Peggy convinces Dawn to crash on her couch. The two share beers and discuss office politics. 'Do you think I act like a man?' Peggy, wearing an avocado-green dress layered over a short-sleeved white blouse, asks Dawn, who replies, 'I guess you have to, a little.' Peggy reveals to Dawn, whose appearance is more muted in a dark blue crosshatch-patterned dress, that she's unsure if she can keep it up, or if she wants to. Eventually, Peggy, tipsy and tired, heads to her bedroom, leaving Dawn to sleep on the sofa. But Peggy stares for a smidge too long at her green leather purse strewn atop the coffee table. It contains $400 she just received from Roger for taking on extra work, and her implicit bias is definitely showing. Dawn notices Peggy noticing the purse and even though Peggy continues on her way to bed, there's no undoing the damage. Come morning, Dawn is out the door, with a thank-you note strategically placed on top of Peggy's purse. In this moment, given Mad Men 's frustrating lack of BIPOC characters, we get a rare glimpse into how gender dynamics take shape when they are racialized. It's one of the few instances in which a white woman's privilege is contextualized within the broader sociopolitical landscape of the volatile 1960s, and the costuming plays a key role in illustrating that. Yes, white women had limited choices and options. But women of color had—and continue to have—even fewer. Mike Yarish/AMC/Everett Collection Wives in Blue Marriage to Don Draper would likely leave anyone feeling a bit blue (what with all the adultery, gaslighting, and outright lies), so it's no wonder that his two wives, Betty (January Jones) and Megan (Jessica Paré), regularly reached for the color in their everyday wardrobes. Perhaps one of Megan's most memorable sartorial moments was at the top of season 7. She picks up Don at the airport in Los Angeles, arriving in a sleek convertible. She steps out wearing a powder blue babydoll dress with sheer pleated sleeves and a giant bow affixed to the front. She's figuratively and literally in the driver's seat, at last in control of her budding acting career. Or so she thinks. Fast-forward to later that season when Megan, estranged from and in the process of divorcing Don, can't find work and meets with Harry Crane (Rich Sommer) while sporting the same powder-blue number. She's hopeful he has legitimate leads, but really, he just wants to proposition her. The trajectory of that single blue dress illustrates how suddenly fortunes shift. What was once a stylish symbol of possibility has morphed into a shell of itself, becoming something that was beautiful before the world got its hands on it. Megan storms out, defeated and deflated, not carrying the same levity she had just months prior in L.A. It's not until she accepts a million-dollar check from Don as a divorce settlement that the spark in her eye starts to return, and perhaps rightly so. I wasn't necessarily #TeamMegan, but Don, unsurprisingly, treated her pretty terribly. I like to think she bought a groovy home in the Hollywood Hills, went on a massive shopping spree, and eventually found some steady acting work. Mike Yarish/AMC/Everett Collection January Jones as Betty Draper on Mad Men. First wife Betty, meanwhile, was almost always in blue, from dinner dates to running errands. Near the end, she makes clear that she, in fact, intends to spend all of eternity in blue. In the series' penultimate episode, she provides her daughter, Sally (Kiernan Shipka), with straightforward instructions for handling her posthumous wardrobe when she eventually dies from lung cancer. Specifically, she'd like to be buried in her blue chiffon dress from the 1968 Republican winter gala. But that's not all she leaves with Sally. In the same note, she writes, 'I always worried about you because you marched to the beat of your own drum, but now I know that's good. I know your life will be an adventure.' However flawed her mothering style may have been, it turns out the steely ice queen isn't entirely cold-hearted. With death looming, Betty lets her guard down with her children and her ex-husband. In season 7 episode 3, Don and Betty share a sweet, final moment of intimacy; when he stops by to visit Sally who isn't there, he offers a shoulder massage to Betty, who's reading 'Fragment of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria' by Sigmund Freud (likely an assignment from one of her psychology classes) and wearing a demure lilac dress. Purple isn't seen in Betty's wardrobe as often as blue. Considering violet is the last color in the rainbow, her outfit in this moment suggests some kind of forward movement. Even with her terminal diagnosis, she's still willing herself to learn; to step out of her comfort zone. It's an admirable effort, especially from someone who was once as emotionally stunted as Betty (though, to be fair, so was Don). Through its female characters and their costume design, Mad Men beautifully illustrates how one's style is both a means of expression and an exertion of personal choice. For women in particular, that feels like a significant reminder as we navigate an era of increasingly restricted rights. We now live in a time that Mad Men wrapped in May 2015, a certain presidential contender hadn't even announced his candidacy yet. There was widespread hope for the first female president of the United States. We hadn't experienced global lockdowns, a deadly pandemic, or an insurrection. The present moment just may be our defining moment. While it sometimes seems like the world's spinning into chaos and everything's out of control, the decision that no one can take away from us is how we choose to show up. And, perhaps most importantly, whether we show up at all. Related Stories

Before ‘Mad Men,' Christina Hendricks Had a Punk-Goth Phase
Christina Hendricks, 49, is an actress best known for her roles in TV's 'Mad Men' and 'Good Girls.' She currently co-stars in the Hulu limited series 'Good American Family.' She spoke with Marc Myers. I was an emotional child. Whenever I'd put on my mom's records, I'd dance as if nothing else mattered. I was so dramatic.
