The Waterloo

Interesting looking pub from the outside. On Wellington street in the financial district. Never been in here looks bigger on the outside, quite small inside. 25 chairs tops.
Gantry is odd. Normal setup on one side of the bar then pink, green and yellow bottles of what looks like alchopops on the other.
Got a pint of tennents £2.90 not bad, good pint. Tennents, Guinness, Kronenberg, San Migule, Carling, Strongbow, Magners, John Smiths and Stella on draught.
I think this may be a gay bar. Staff are friendly, music is cheesy teen Brit pop from the 90s.
I think supping up is in order as there is only so much back street boys I can listen to.
Pint was good though!

The Admiral

On Waterloo st. I did not know it existed. Old school looking pub from the outside. Strange shape on the inside. Long bar than runs the length of the narrow room, stops mid way and the room changes into a more restaurant / dinner look.

Bog standard gantry nothing special at all.Guinness, Amstel, Fosters, Sagres, Heineken, Deuchers, Moretti and Strongbow on tap. I have ordered a pint of Moretti for a change. Nice pint in qtheir big challace glass but the price. Fek me £4.50 this isn't London !!  Restaurant prices in a pub do not sit well with me.

Over all nothing to this bar. It's got Royal Navy Ship standards in bost in the mirrors which adds a little something. It may have an interesting story but there is nothing on display. Staff are friendly enough and being in the heart of Glasgows financial district it's very quite except a couple of suitted gents At the bar.
Supping up? Yes!! It was worth a look I won't be back. to expensive for what you get. Oh Fosters is £2.80. Lol I think that sums it up....

Cafe source

It should not really be on this post as its more restaurant than bar. However it's one of those little gems that gets over looked. 
Located in the St. Andrews on the square building, gantry is top notch as they expect people to eat not drink. Usual suspects on tap Guiness, Tennents but it also  has Peronni and st mungo. 
It's a restaurant really,  but it has a wee side garden for drinking in the sun.  Iam sat there just now drinking a pint of Tennents £ 3.60 not to bad for a posh restaurant. Hard place to critique, you need to try it for yourself. I like it!
Supping up? Depends on your bank balance and your company, Iam on my own so no. Iam chillin. 
Try it you might be supprised.

McChuills

What can I say? One of those pubs you need to try. Located on the high street. Favoured hang out for Celtic fans and mods. Weird tap selection Fosters, HIeneken Kronenbourg, Guiness and one or two others. Gantry is ok not in here for the spirits though.
It's got a pool table and the music is a mix off everything really. £3.80 a pint of Kronenbourg not to bad really. Located under the railway arches, this gives it a dark weird atmospher.  If there were ever a seasonal pub this would be it. To hot and stale I the summer, much better in the winter.
Supping up? No real need, yet for some reason I can't put my finger on; Yes! 
Staff are friendly, punters sound. Just I don't want to linger. Strange, ill figure out why some day.

13th Note

On king st across from the car park. Hang out for musicians not a bad boozer. £3.20 a pint of Tennents, strange tap selection. Strapoprvin, Estrea Guinness Tennents andCaledonian. Gantry is sparse do not recognise most of it. 

Weird mix of students and tattooed folk, staff are friendly and it's quite chilled out. No hassle and no need for supping up quick. Always a good night if you are here to watch a gig. Not a place I would frequent often but nice for a change.
