Alan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'd guess on a Sunday only Oran Mor would have bouncers on so unless the bar keepers have an issue you'd be fine. While I do respect people having the freedom to dress as they choose anyone i know who has worked in a pub see's kilts + groups of men (excl wedding parties) = stag dos or pissed up football fans. Easier to dress like a real native. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarky1606 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 2 of us from Aberdeen are staying in Gatwick on Saturday night then Glasgow on Sunday night on our travels back from Tbilisi. We will be heading to the Iron Horse for a few pints and taking it from there i'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The Iron Horse is piss poor. That part of the city centre is not the best for pubs imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I've been to the Raven once, it's ok, but there are better McClay's pubs (well Munro's anyway). The Iron Horse isn't my cup of tea - only been there for gentlemen's evenings up the stairs and for a breakfast pint (long ago when it was about the only place open early and I fancied a sharpener before jumping the train at Q Street for a Thistle away game).

Neither of us have been in before so I guess its a novelty thing to check out the bar thats probably most mentioned on here.. Suggestions welcome as to where you would recommend for a Sunday night in Glasgow?? And of course if yo are in the area your more than welcome to join us.

jenblueeyes Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Assuming it's the normal Sunday night entertainment in the Iron Horse then it'll be karaeoke (proud of the fact I've no feckin clue how to spell that!) and it might attract some German fans as it's widely known as TA pub and generally attracts some away fans swinging by to see what it's like - likewise you might also get some TA kicking about on the Sunday night. I know the Shetland boys used to head there. I don't normally go out on a Sunday night so have no idea where is good. Plenty pubs along Bath Street or throughout Merchant city so a pub crawl to find somewhere lively would be your best best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doakes Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Loads of great bars in Glasgow. Try out "The Pot Still", brilliant wee place - loads of whiskys. For somewhere more lively, head for Malones (Irish bar in a lane just off Hope Street) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Ach, I suppose it depends on what you're looking for, but I like traditional pubs with real ale - the options in Glasgow are very limited (Tennent's and the Bon Accord - while beer in the Bon Accord is good the place lacks character / atmosphere).

Goozay Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Out of the stuff mentioned so far I'd head for The Park Bar, Kelvingrove. Also get a curry in the Ashoka a few doors down - their haggis pakora is amazing which would be good for the tourists. I wouldn't expect many TA to be out and about the night before a home game - especially as its an evening kick-off. But the Park Bar should have some regular punters in and if you're down that way you get a view of Park Circus, the Kelvingrove Museum and the University Building - again good for your tourists.
