Suggest a pub.

Postby The Creeping Spleen » Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:03 pm

Need some help guys.

Myself and a bunch of friends meet in the downstairs bar of the Iron Horse, however some of the gang have mobility issues and are finding the stairs a bit of a chore of late.
So, with that in mind, I'm in need of a few suggestions for a new venue.

It needs to meet most, if not all, of the following criteria -

Central Glasgow location.
Easy walking distance of Central Station, Queen Street, and Buchanan Bus station.
Decent food and drink.
Reasonably quiet in the evenings.
Easy access to the Gents and Ladies for those who need sticks/walking frames etc. to get about.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Looks good. I'll suggest it to the group, see what happens.

Thanks for the help.

Looking for more recommendations. Same criteria as before.

We've been settled in the Maltman in Renfield Street since last summer, but we're kind of having issues with the place.
Their wi-fi is terrible.
Toilets are just this side of being mankey - how the hell do you get flies in a pub toilet in the middle of effin' winter? - broken locks on the cubicle doors.
Their kitchen's been closed the past twice we were there, so no food - bit of a bugger for me cos I come straight from work in Gourock and had nothing to eat since lunchtime.

One time late last year, one of the bar staff was incredibly rude to my mate's missus and their boy, questioning whether he was old enough to drink - which he was, just, having turned 18 last July. Problem is he's quite fresh faced and looks younger than he is, even though he's a big tall laddie.

I've been looking at places online, and the Revolution in Mitchell Street looks like a possibility.

Any of you folks have any better ideas?

A group I'm in was using lauders but recently they've made it clear they're not interested in organised groups being in there on a regular basis so I'd avoid it

Duly noted.

Someone in the group suggested Cairns in Miller Street. Any thoughts about there?

It's okay a bit average. Revolution is a bit better

Cheers. I'll have a gander at the Revolution next time I'm passing.
