Best pub in Glasgow and why?

St Vincent's is a nightmare to get served and they run out of beer. It's mental. However, they've good bands on. Malones is a rich man's version of St Vincent's - better range of beer, better bands and better clientele altogether.

 

What's the general opinion of Maggie Mays on here? A little bit more than the average pint but there's something about the place that i really like.

 

MacConnells in Hope street used to be an excellent Celtic Boozer up until about 8 years ago then some consortium bought if off the guy and took all the celtic stuff down then tried to turn it into a sports bar, just got done up there after new year and looks a lot better, the CSC still runs from it but for me it has now lost its identity as a Celtic Pub.

 

The Wee Mans Bar on the Gallowgate for nothing more than name alone.

Never been in it for the record

 

Yeah definitely man.

 

Was in Glasgow city centre couple Saturdays ago and everywhere was * packing this was around 6pm or so. We decided to walk into Woodlands and went to the old schoolhouse then coopers. Places like they two pubs, oran mor and hillhead book club always seem to have a good ratio of females. Seems many times in town places like Maggie Mays etc are a sausage fest or couples etc.

I know people say west end can be full of hipsters etc, but sometimes refreshing to go somewhere you aren't getting growled at by tanned up spice boys, and * acting the big man.

 

I get what you mean man.

Although i'm gonna totally turn this on it's head. I was in the Three Judges a few weeks back - finished college early, jumped on the subway and went in there for a few beers. Was great. Even if i was the youngest guy in there by about 25 years at least!

 

Went into Clydebuilt after the gig on Tuesday. Epic bar. Prices are pretty standard for somewhere like that.

 

I like Maggie May's too, any time i seem to go though, it's always packed.
Boteco next door can be good if there's entertainment.
Being a fan of old blues music, Howlin' Wolf is one of my favourites.
Box can be hit or miss, but Firewater is always reliable.

 

Brazen Head

 

Only been in Firewater once, it was after the Manics gig at the hydro last year. I was pished so remember very little of it! But 89p drinks. You can't go wrong!

 

Any decent pubs up and around SECC/Hydro? I know of Clydebuilt but * paying £5 for a pint. Going to see Ricky Gervais on Tuesday at the Armadilo and staying at the Campanile so can't really be arsed trekking in to town.

 

There are a few in Finnieston if you go over the bridge across the motorway. I don't know the area that well though

 

Awesome. I'll will check the bars up there!

 

Three Judges was owned by Walter Smith. My Uncle(Hun) drank in it.

 

The Park Bar.

 

Ended up in Clydebuilt yesterday afternoon when waiting for Ricky Gervais:



Heineken at £4.90 a go though! Worth it!
