Laurieston Bar
Glasgow
En un coup d'œil
Avis
Visited last weekend. First time in a wee while. I have drank beer now and again in this bar since the late 1980s. Aware that it had changed hands with promises not to alter the Iconic pub. Disappointed to find the pub in such a shabby condition. The carpet in the lounge dirty worn and in need of replacement. Curtains worn. Chairs in need of replacement. Fixed tables in need of maintenance. Unclean gents toilet, smelly with overflowing bins, no hand dryers. Overall a feeling that the pub is in a general state of decline and needed a deep clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The beer prices are not cheap maybe because of its iconic and historical status. Sub crawl etc. Cash only rules may suit old folk but in a modern cashless society some may feel this annoying and inconvenient. Promises to not change the pub are welcome but general maintenance and upkeep are necessary to keep customers old and new coming back!
Can never get enough of this bar. Cask ale (Jarl) always on form, bar staff and the regulars are great. Long may it stay this way 🤞~ Cash only.
Classic Glasgow Pub, away from the city centre hustle and bustle and "modern bar" style, a real taste of the real Glasgow. Close to Bridge Street Subway Station, Cash Only so plan ahead to avoid disappointment, unless you want to pay £1.75 for your own cash at the local Spa cash machine. As a business owner I don't blame them, it's hard in this industry at the moment so understand any way to save on costs, which in turn keeps the price of a pint down. £4.40 for Murphy's or Tenants £4.55 for Cask £4.70 for Keg. Great for an independent local!
A fantastic 1960s style Glasgow neighborhood pub. Very popular, with a diverse clientele. Currently in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide (2026). Apparently renowned for its Guinness. Just across the road from the Bridge Street subway station. Only draw back CASH ONLY. If you want to meet Glasgow... drop in.
The best kind of time warp and a must visit for those that enjoy a traditional pub. Cash only, with affordable prices and a good choice of drinks. The interior is lovely and untouched. An iconic spot and very near the subway. It was busy throughout our visit.
