The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I used to drink in Speaker's Corner when I lived in Grant Street in 1976. There was another bar just around the corner on the way to St. George's X that I had the odd drink in, too. Can't remember its name, though. It may have been part of a hotel. As far as I know there isn't a bar at that location...

Tennent's bar on Byres Road is well worth a visit. Big, traditional pub with horseshoe bar and a bewildering selection of real ales. It's also very handy for Hillhead subway. Agree with the previous poster that the Lismore and Three Judges off the bottom of Byres Road (near Kelvin Hall subway) are o...

It's owned by Bellhaven now, and had a big refurb 2 or 3 years ago, when they did away w...

Aye - fine, thanks. Ye've been gaun yer dinger in here. This pub forum seems a bit slow, though. Shoulda posted it in 'coffe chat' or whateverthehell it's ca'd.

One mainly for the 'auld yins' on here. Pubs that have hardly changed since you first drank in them as a nipper. I lived in the west end during my formative drinking years. The Doublet was my local when I lived in Gibson St over 30 years ago. It's got a glass door, now, and that's about the only cha...
