daytripping Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Glad you had a good time. Torres wouldn't be my first stop - I'll give you a better tip for tapas next time. Which club/pubs were you in? God knows on the whole, could describe the club but have no idea its name, Sauchiehall street I think, not the garage or victorias, big place with a really long bar to the left as you came in, big dancefloor on a lower level to the right. Went to most of the pubs on that street and close by, do recall Molly Malones, watched the 3rd place play off in there but then some Irish band came on and they were tragic so we left, also recall Walkabout, Sammy Dows (some proper karaoke experts in there), counting house, some bierhall off a pedestrian area, great outside seating area there and top class beers. Did pay £3 to get into a grotty pub/club across from the casinos, it was cack, was the reason the casino was chosen next. Fry up on Sunday morning at Droughtys was great, huge serving, also went to a place that only sold belgian chips, that was in the early hours, can't recall if they were good or not. 1 Link to comment

tommo1903 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Love the Japanese on Sauchiehall Street. Nanakusa: http://www.nanakusa.co.uk/ That place is awesome, was there in Feb.

Should have went to the Cathouse. Its fuckin ace in there. Link to comment
daytripping Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Went shopping both days in Frasers, was like Mecca to me, spent a fortune but got some quality gear. Fred Perry shop was great as well. Link to comment

daytripping Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I avoid Sauchiehall St like the plague It was ok at night, beggars were a pain in the arse but went to some not bad places round there. Link to comment
daytripping Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 There are so much better places to drink in Glasgow You'll hae to go doon for anither holiday. Will ask your advice next time mobs. Link to comment
gla5gowdon Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Will ask your advice next time mobs. Don't recall anyone tipping the city centre side of Sauchiehall Street. Full of students and tramps trying to get cash off of drunk people. Bath Street boozers are better. Link to comment
Quagmire Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Is it Bath Street that Bunker and that was on? I remember Firewater being another popular haunt to go in my Uni/pre-gig drinking days.By the sound of things it would have been Bier Halle Republic you were in. Remember getting the only chick in my class drunk on strawberry or raspberry beers in there then back to her flat in Merchant City for a bit of slap and tickle. Good days. Link to comment

Pash Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I like Glasgow too, we always get picked up by the same taxi driver called Eddie when we are down for Scotland games, he picks us up and gives us a tinnie each and takes us right up to Hampden Stadium and picks us up right outside straight after the game, hands us all another tinnie and takes us back in to the city centre. Fair enough we load his pockets with notes but still a top bloke is Eddie. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 There's a now defunct football team museum that's being used for some events in the Commonwealth games, I'd avoid that...... Link to comment
Pash Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 One thing i'll never go to Glasgow for......watching Scotland Weegieville is one of the places i'm thinking of relocating to. I just go along for the piss-up on the train down with old work mates. Why on earth would you move to Weegieville? Link to comment

He was singing Aberdeen songs and speaking in a tcheuchter accent. Link to comment
daytripping Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Forgot about that place Ace for German beer and 2 x pizzas for a tenner Free hot dog with a stein of beer if you were sat outside. Link to comment

BillyStarkDivinHeeder Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I enjoyed McHuills and the Grant Arms the last two times i was down. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself dayts. Sauchiehall st isn't the best if streets to visit now, but ati offers entertainment. The merchant city is a cracking wee place to visit for boozers/people watching as well as the west end. The Bier Halle (in Gordon street for future ref!) is one of my favourite haunts, and has been for years. The pizzas are immense, as well as the beers on offer, obviously. The Lab, which is about 2 mins walk across Buchanan st and up a lane, is a nice wee place aswell. Link to comment
tup Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 All this chat lionising a filthy scum infested hole like Glasgow makes me want to puke. Fuck the weegies. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You should maybe try fucking a weegie instead of a relative. Link to comment
tup Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Glasgow has only ever been a place to be endured for proper Dons fans. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Don't feel you have to. We'll soon get over it. We have dayts on our side now. Link to comment
daytripping Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah I'm reformed, loved it. I even got speaking to a couple jungle jims in a pub, they were actually ok, they recommended we went to the merchant city but time was getting on so just went to the casino instead. Some of the buskers are quality, watched quite a few in the couple days I was there. Link to comment
tup Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Evidently the man is suffering from some kind of heat stroke, or the after effects of some dodgy pills he purchased off some nefarious weegie. I'm sure he will come to his senses shortly. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 PTSD from Krakow is my guess. It can happen any time. Last time I had it was playing pool against a midget with an Irish pool cue. Link to comment
tup Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'd just completed a gruelling 7 hour train journey as I set about demolishing you after your half hour of travel. Link to comment
tainboy Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Drove to Glasgow to get a flight last year. In traffic when one of the kids pipes up "do they have soap in Glasgow?" Hahah. Yes love, but most of them can't afford it. 1 Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yeah I'm reformed, loved it. Glad you enjoyed it, you should go for a whole week next time The Weeg can offer everything except reliable weather (as per all of Scotland) - and it shows Edinburgh up for the over-rated, paper tiger it is.

tup Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Weegies never tire of bumming the place up, what pish they all talk. Here's the reality: An outbreak of norovirus has seen 180 odd folk fall ill just before the waste of taxpayers cash that is the Commonwealth Games starts. This virus is associated with poor hygiene. As the weegies would say, shockerooni. 1 Link to comment
