Britain's longest continual bar . Beautiful pub that is listed on the national inventory of historic pub interiors. Great real ales .

In 1988 the building was classified by Historic Scotland as a Category A building of historic importance to safeguarding it from the ravages of modernisation.

A Glasgow institution. Billed as the longest continual bar in Europe , it serves a wide range of real ales at affordable prices , serves good wholesome food and has a great atmosphere to boot.

You meet the best people. Everyone by the end of the night knows your name and the karaoke by ray and eddy is superb. Best night ever x

A top bar . Fast service , never have to wait long as the bar staff know whats going on. Good real ales that change over every few weeks.

Been here for three hours. Drunk generously. We have waited to sing for more than two hours and a half and we didn't get a chance. The dj is such an asshole. Avoid this place if you are not his friend
