The Whiskey selection and knowledge of staff is one of the best in Scotland. Not a tourist destination. You will be surounded by laughing, good natured Scots in an authentic pub atmosphere.

Calum Campbell

An unparalleled selection of whiskies and wide choice of bottled beers . The staff are very knowledgable and will give recommendations based on your tastes. Beginners will be well catered for.

Mark

An absolutely monstrous whisky selection and extremely knowledgeable bar staff make this a must for whisky fans. They also have four cask beers on offer, which from my experience were pretty decent.

Duke

Tiny whisky pub in the heart of Glasgow. Excellent whisky range. Affordable prices. Have an eye on the Cadenhead bottlings.

Our favorite whisky bar in Glasgow ! Frank Murphy is the one of the best ambassadors of whisky on the planet. If you’re looking for a specific Scotch , they probably have it. The collection is massive.

Vincent

Amazing whisky selection and very knowledgeable and friendly bar staff . Very popular on Saturdays, except a wait at the bar . Well worth a visit for a dram or 2... Or 3. Free water tap at the bar .

Best whisky bar 2016. Great place with cheap whisky of the month. You can discover and enjoy a lot. Boiling atmosphere there !

Extremely crowded and a little intimidating, but don’t be afraid to squeeze your way to the bar and tell them exactly what kind of flavor you are looking for.

Carl Griffin

Incredible selection of hundreds of whiskys . Great real ales .

FYI they smear vaseline on the men's toilets (but not the women's) so be careful not to get it on your clothes ! Great selection of whiskies and a cosy atmosphere .

Huge whisky selection and great recommendations. Super cramped though and I preferred the Ben Nevis for that reason
