Glasgow pubs around Byres Road - two trails

GLASGOW: BYRES ROAD and ASHTON LANE

Take the subway from anywhere and alight at Hillhead. Turn right and almost next door is the The Curler's Rest. In here you have to decide whether to visit the pubs in Ashton lane and return to Hillhead Underground or wander down Byres Road to Kelvinhall Underground. Each has a potentially ten pubs while the Ashton lane trip has less walking as often the pubs are next door to each other.

(1) Ashton Lane trip

Spin back to the subway station and walk past it turning left at the corner into Ashton Lane which has several pubs along it. The first is a multi-roomed food and drink experience called The Ubiquitous Chip which has firstly in the lane The Wee Pub and around the corner The Pub which has a ground level bar and an upstairs one as well. Continue down the right side and find Innes & Gunn Westend Brewery Tap. Then opposite here is Brel. Walk back up this side to Vodka Wodka and opposite The Pub is Jinty McGuinty’s. Continue along the lane (called Great George Lane) past the car park and cross over the road then continue along the lane (Cresswell Lane) which has cafes and shops. At the end of this lane, cross over and up to the right is the lane (Burgh Lane) continuing. This has the backs of businesses and their rubbish bins. At the end of this lane to the right is The Hillhead Book Club and directly opposite is The Parlour. Walk down to the Byres Road and turn right walking up to the corner to the church which is now Oran Mor at the traffic lights. Cross over and walk down to BeGin. Walk down Byres road to the underground across the road.

(2) Byres Road

Come out of The Curler’s Rest and turn right walking up Byres Road to the corner where the church at the traffic lights is now Oran Mor. Cross over and walk down to BeGin. Continue walking down Byres Road and find Tennents. Leave here by the side door and turning right walk along the side road, Highburgh Rd. Five blocks takes you to The Rock. Leaving The Rock cross over and go down the road opposite where past the corner building is an old church now called Cottiers with bar and theatre. Leaving walk around the building turning up at the Y-junction then right along Havelock St which will take you back down to Byres Road. Cross over Byres Road and walk up a little to Tobolabamba West End. Cross over the road to The Aragon a little down. Continue to walk down to Gumbo (closed) and then find the entrance door (look carefully) to The Record Factory. At the bottom of Byres Road and across the street is The Three Judges. Walk along to the subway and opposite it is The Bag O'Nails. Cross over to Kelvinhall Subway

 A place this size is bound to have its own guides to illustrate the vast quantity, quality and styles of pubs.

CAMRA in Glasgow

Glasgow guide illustrating top ten pubs in different styles of drinking (and dining) eg Style pubs or Live Music pubs.

Timeout listing of best pubs - controversial

A good proportion of the pubs have real ale but many do not. The west coast still has a bit of a lager flavour - occasionally only lager. Real ale is not limited to trendy style pubs, and not even in many of these.

Glasgow does not have the tourist grouping of pubs as found in Edinburgh - they are mainly aimed at Glasgow folk.

Practically every pub offers food at lunch or all day

Curler’s Rest  

Curler’s Rest has two entrance doors with both taking you into a large room with low ceiling. There is a mix of seating with banquette seating around walls and under windows either side of the doors and on the side walls for a short distance. There are taller tables and stools in middle of the room and opposite the servery. Half way in the room changes shape where the servery is along the right-hand wall. Half way along the servery and opposite the counter there are stairs for upstairs and the main room opens out after this. Here there are some large low tables with low slipper chairs and there is a dining room feel beyond this. The low ceiling, subdued lighting and dark wood furniture combine to give a relaxing atmosphere. Food served

The Hillhead Bookclub

The Hillhead Bookclub name gives the idea of a community cafe/bar however it may welcome the community but it is a large place, with a wow factor from being on two floors with a mezzanine landing on way up to top level which overlooks the ground floor rather than covers it. Upstairs and mezzanine have dining style tables while the ground floor has tall tables opposite the servery and beyond that lots of booths with dining table seating. The lighting inside is low, but attractive, which combined with the dark wood makes the large room rather dark and relaxing. Above the mezzanine area is a large screen. A nice long servery against the right hand wall has a gantry well stocked with spirits and books.
