young buck Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Real fondness for rhoderick dhu. I always pop in for a pint if I'm around. Plus points are. Reassuringly busy Lovely old school bar. Always plenty of staff to serve Inside smoking if that's your thing The selection is okay but the toilets could be better is the only neg IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was in it once in its Monkey Bar incarnation, and once as Rust. Both times it was filled with "dressed neds". I found it ok during the week if you wanted a pint and a game of pool, wasn't the greatest pub, but decent enough. Very seldom drank in it at the weekend, as it did seem to be a pub for the "young team". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Go to The Quarter Gill. If you like cheap, old school howfs that women do not go near, this is your boozer. Heehee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Why? Because I don't enjoy drinking in the city centre? You might enjoy and and I'm sure lots of other people enjoy it also, I don't, I hate the place and I'm sure others feel the same way too. No. Bacause you said " Glasgow is a terrible place to drink, the bouncers are all wanks and the locals are scummy c***s." Which makes you an idiot. ...or you could go to some good places. Aye. Shocking to have a bunch of owner-run places all serving home-made food, all with different beers, or in the cases of Ben Nevis, Distill, Bon Accord and Chinaskis having, respectively, the biggest selection of whisky, rum, cask ales and bourbon in the city. Maybe stick to Yates', aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest honestrae95 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Since I moved to Finnieston a few months ago, I've hardly gone into town because I'm surrounded by decent pubs. Though if I was to drink in town, I'd go to The Ark just off George Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been in there in years, used to be a regular haunt when I was younger, Friday night BBQ with a double vodka and fake red bull for about £2, couldn't beat it.

Nightmare Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The Ark is about as close to the definition of a 'student pub' as you'll ever find. Which has some plus points, I suppose, but generally that makes it pretty shite. Someone stopped me and asked me where "The Lab" was just off Buchanan street, I've never heard of it, anyone? Often in The Lab after work. Nice, relaxed place with good tunes. It's a bit expensive, but far better than the surrounding mess of Wetherspoon's pubs. City Centre pubs in Glasgow aren't the best. You basically have a choice between either soulless Wetherspoon's or scum-filled holes like Campus and Walkabout, with a few decent pubs scattered in between which of course are extortionate. If we're counting Finnieston in this then quite a few pubs out that way are worth a mention, but it's hardly the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Was in The Quarter Gill for a few last Friday. Brilliant pub, a proper old skool howf. £2.50 a pint - smell of pish gratis. The one on Dumbarton Road in Partick, or the one on Oswald St? I'm guessing the second one given you described it positively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 City centre, just off Hope Street. Most folk on this forum would probably be horrified by it, I just like old style pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up in there on Boxing Day before we went to the arches. Only the barman and a regular were in and he was telling us about how he delivered fish to Alloa once. It's a proper pub.

The guy that runs it even has the craggy face and bad attitude of a Glaswegian Moe Szyslak. Good pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 After the success of the Subcrawls and the Dundee Bus Crawl, I think a P&B pub crawl round the city centre sounds like a fine idea. Would no doubt end in disaster though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
