State Bar (Free)

Just off Sauchiehall Street in a modern building but very much traditional in the Victorian style, with a rotund central service area, which has ample cask choices to warrant a look. Shows sports on televisions too.

Pretty high on the list of local cask outlets, quality is generally excellent.

Excellent cask ale house near Glasgow City centre with 7 hand-pulled ales, Stewart Brewing State No. 3 is the regular cask beer with 6 rotating guests from throughout the UK. Almost always an exciting guest ale on the bar. Beer quality not in question.

Interesting looking place but points off for loud sport on the TV and the sour pint I was served. Not much of a selection.

Atmospheric bar with a central island bar. Busy even on a Monday night. Cask only, choice of around 5 or 6, nothing too memorable but all in good condition. A friendly Glasgow welcome. Didn’t eat.

Atmospheric pub just off Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. Lovely to be here: slightly opulent but not twee in the least and service as friendly as you like. About six casks, nothing that will set your world alight, but they’re from dependable brewers such as Oakham and Marble. Keg and bottles/cans, I’m afraid, are a bit of a nonstarter, but you’re here for the atmosphere as much as the beer. Enjoy and get a tick or two before moving on to proper craft beer prey.

Visited on 3rd December 2016. A lovely old traditional pub, central island bar, plenty of seating and decent decor, sat with a pint and watched some of the England v Australia rugger on TV. The cask beer list is on a chalkboard but had a considerable battering as the beer range had changed, a good mix of cask beers from across the UK, mostly from decently rated Brewers. Service was good despite pub being busy, quality good and decent prices. A good traditional boozer and around the corner from Hippo so worth a look in.

nice fashioned drinking bar with a decent selection. Worth a visit but didnt over excite me.

Best pub in Glasgow, for me anyway, I never fail to visit at least once whilst I am in the city. Agreeable old school tavern with a circular bar, the beers are usually sourced from local Scottish microbreweries. My pints of Rise n Shine milk stout were superb and very sensibly priced, remember that there is a Wetherspoons across the street.

Traditional pub which was really crowded the evening we’ve paid a visit. Not extensive selection of casks, but among them there were some good brews. Not a bad place to stop for a pint.
