Glasgow info

Post by ClaretMov » Tue Feb 08, 2022 10:57 am

I'm off to Glasgow next Wednesday to see my daughter who I haven't seen since last August, she lives near troon golf course and we are meeting up in Glasgow for a few days, I've never been so do any fellow claret's have any good places, pub's or area's they would recommend we could visit.

I think that there was a thread on here when we played Rangers. If you can find it it may be helpful.

We live over the Border so often go up to Glasgow for nights out/gigs etc. We have never had a bad night out there and it's a fantastic City. Far prefer it to Edinburgh.

What part of the City you heading to and what kind of things do you like?

We had a great time up there when we went for the Saturday friendly.
Plenty of pubs around the train station area.

The people were really friendly.

I remember going to a few decent places around the western end of Sauchiehall St. Ox & Finch was very good and remember Lebowskis being decent. There were a few other places round there too.

Ashton lane in the west end just off Byers road. Plenty of decent pubs and eateries around there. Plus it’s a hop skip and a jump from the subway to get back into the city centre. Try and visit the transport museum if you get the chance aswell it’s next to Kelvinhall arena opposite Glasgow uni and 15min walk from Ashton lane.

Wonderful city. Merchant City has lots of nice places, Finniston is great (pubs, ox and finch etc), west end/ ashton lane. My favourite city. Spent a year there 2016-17 with work.

Kelvingrove park, museum. Also a place near central station where you climb loads of stairs and can see across the city. Forgotten what it's called. 2 mins from Glasgow Central by foot.

We're travelling up on the train from Preston to Glasgow Central and staying at the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, we like the traditional pubs, Indian restaurants and any site's especially along the river

Wear a Scotty Arfield Burnley shirt and you won't pay for a drink all stay.
Well, maybe in Irish bars.

Looks like you are ideally place for Sauchiehall St and everything around on and around there.
Also close to King Tuts Wah Wah Hut which is a famous music venue.
You'll not be bored.
