GLASGOW: Queen’s Park

TWO TRAILS here (a) around Queen’s Park station and (b) down Pollockshaws Rd

A - around Queen’s Park station

Take the train from Glasgow central to Queen’s Park where you go up the nearest flight of stairs at the end of the platform; not the flight at the other end which requires walking along a path to reach the stairs.

This should exit into the busy Victoria Rd where you need to turn right and right again to go along to McNeill’s on the road (Torrisdale Street) that runs parallel to station (in fact no buildings opposite , just the station wall). If you go out the far end of the station it will be onto Niddrie Road so it is left and left again to go along to O’Neil’s.

Leaving McNeill’s return to Victoria Rd and turn down to the right towards the park. Crossover Albert Rd and in the middle of the next block is Queen’s Park Cafe. Cross over Victoria Road and walk back up turning right at the corner onto Albert Rd and walk down it to the next corner where there is The Rose Reilly. Leaving here cross over and go up Langside Rd turning first left into Dixon Av. Half way down and across the road on a corner is The Bell Jar. Leaving here walk up the long side of the pub along Westmorland St. Diagonally across Allison St on the next corner is Ryan’s Bar. Go back across the diagonal and walk up Allison St to the Victoria across the next corner and back on Victoria Road. Leaving here continue along Allson St to the next set of lights on Pollockshaws Road. Across the road and on the left are two pubs, MJ Heraghty and The Allison Arms. Retrace your steps along Allison St and turn down first on the right, Niddrie Rd. A little along this road and on the left is an entrance to Queen’s Park Station and the journey home.

B - Pollockshaws Road

Take the train from Glasgow central to Queen’s Park where you go up along a path at the end of the platform and to the furthest flight of stairs at the far end of the platform; not the closest flight at the other end which go up from the platform.

You should be on Niddrie Road so turn left and then right along Torrisdale St. At the end of this on the corner with Pollockshaws Road is The Torrisdale Tavern. If you have exitted station to the busy Victoria Road just turn right and right to get onto Torrisdale Road a bit further along. This will take you past McNeill’s and you could be tempted to start here.

Across the road from The Torrisdale tavern is The Regent. From The Regent turn away from main road and go along the side of The Regent on Nithsdale Rd this brings you to Titwood Bar and across the road, The Bungo. Walk back to Pollockshaws raod and turn right down it to The Stag and The Thistle on the next corner. Continue down the road three blocks and across on the corner is McMillan’s Chop House.

Cross over the road and head back up it and find Brodies Bar where the park ends. Continue up and once past the Torrisdale Tavern cross over and before you reach the lights are on the left are two pubs, The Allison Arms and MJ Heraghty. Now cross back over at the lights and walk along Allison St and turn down first on the right, Niddrie Rd. A little along this road and on the left is an entrance to Queen’s Park Station and the journey home.

Glasgow pubs around Queen’s Park

 A place the size of Glasgow 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 proportion of the pubs in the city centre and west End 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.

Local pubs

Two nice crawls of 8- 9 pubs around Queen’s Park station in Glasgow and down Pollockshaws Road nearby. All pubs are nicely close together. However, most seem to wait till 12 noon or after to open.

Vast majority of the pubs had friendly bar staff . The accompanying picture, on the wall of Stag & Thistle shows a painting of these pub fronts and some further down the road in Shawlands.

There are some really nice pub-dinners.

Queen’s Park Cafe

 The Queen’s Park Café is not a cafe and does not even pretend to be one. Café was added to try and distract the temperance movement around 1890. It fact it is a large old pub with and oval island servery and a lounge beyond which also has a door up the left side lane.

Going in the front door there is a large banquette seating area to the right with two booths below the outside and red banquette seating round the other two sides of the square area. To the left where there is only one window there is a small table. Immediately in front of the vestibule entrance is the bottom of a long oval counter. Going up the left is the main length of the island oval where at the top the oval curves around and the staff entrance to the servery is there. The counter then runs back down to the front door. Opposite the counter, right, top and left are wide shelving, with occasional snob screen, and mirrors above, for sitting at on stools. Small snob screens splits up these shelves and there is also a snob screen where each curve of the oval starts.

At the top of either side of the room is a passage way into the lounge and once inside the lounge servery, with stools, curves between the two doors. The left side passage also has the door out to the lane. The lounge, carpeted away from the bar, has banquette seating with mirrors on wall above and wooden tables with stools. The seating is arranged in booth like area using wooden screens to separate it up. The décor is mainly making use of the wooden fixtures and fittings with what wall available yellow or green in the bar or yellow and brown in the lounge.
