Pubs in Glasgow
Pubs are part of Scottish culture. It is said that since it rains so often in
Glasgow, there is a pub at each bus stop, so you can go in and have a pint and
wait until the rain has settled. Now this is a truth with some modifications,
but it is an undeniable fact that there are many pubs to choose from in Glasgow.
The itinerary we recommend the beer garden to popular West located in the
Templeton building in Glasgow Green (East End). There is also the
opportunity to eat.
Also try Glasgow's oldest pub, Old College Bar, at 219 High Street.
Such is a proper brown pub. And yes, Old College Bar doesn't have live music
right as it is either.
An alternative tip is to take the "back alley" to Ashton Lane, refer
to the tip about the Ubiquitios Chip restaurant on the previous page. There are
plenty of exciting pubs in Ashton Lane that you can actually stay in this stump
all night. |
