This wasn't as easy as we expected! Visiting 10 iconic Glasgow pubs, all in a single (rainy) day...

The weather scuppered our plans to film a video in Glasgow today, so at the last minute we pulled together a list of 10 iconic local pubs and set off trying to visit them all in a day. What better way to discover a city and its people!
We weren't sure how this one would work, filming in public places can be tricky, especially when people have a few beers in them, so join us to see what happened...
Filmed on location in Glasgow on Monday 9th January 2023.

My wife and I got married in the Tron church, just further up Buchanan Street, then the whole wedding party walked down the street to the Sloans ballroom for our reception :) We wanted to hire a piper, but it just so happened that the day of our wedding was also the world piping championships in Glasgow Green, so we were unable to get one. In the end we didn't need one because Buchanan Street was full of piper buskers who, on seeing us marching down the street, all played the wedding march. Absolutely incredible day :)

I'm 73. Born in Glasgow moved to Canada when I was 16 and I've never been home. I've also never been in a pub. I loved this video. I didn't expect the pubs to be so big and beautiful. The luxurious woodwork, the banisters and history were amazing. I've watched most of your videos. Makes me yearn for home. Keep up the great work.

Glasgow is the friendliest place in Scotland! I broke down in my car with the kids in tow. Couple of chaps helped me to push the car to the side and a passing policeman took me and the kids to a cafe. One of the chaps fixed the car so I could get home and no charge. Wouldn’t happen in Edinburgh! That was in 1998. Great video again!

There can never be too many pub videos, excellent work. Glasgow had many handsome pubs before the second world war, and far too many of them were lost to redevelopment. If only we had had KZfaq in the 1960s and 70s so we could see what they were like inside.

Many whisky lovers from all around the world, when visiting Glasgow, make a "pilgrimage" there, being the most famous of all Whisky pubs. Moreover, many famous whisky personalities frequent this pub. I'm talking about the "Bon Accord" pub, 153 North Street. If I ever do go into a Glaswegian pub in the future, it will probably be this one.

Such a cool video, thanks for sharing! My buddy and I did an Ireland trip last September (2023) and the highlight of the trip was visiting the Pubs and enjoying the gracious and friendly people who made these 2 Yanks feel so welcome! In September (2024) we are planning a trip to Scotland so this video has got me jazzed up for exploring all the amazing Pubs and meeting the locals who frequent them. I am guessing the Scots will be as gracious and friendly as the Irish were!

Such an excellent tour of Glasgow’s iconic pubs and bars. As an Englishman I’ve always felt intimidated to walk into a Scottish pub. You have given me confidence to give it a go. Perhaps I will get to check out one or two of these on a future visit to Scotland. BUT I am disappointed and gutted that you did not go to famous “ The Louden Tavern “. How I would love to see inside. 👏👏👍😀

Loved this video again Steve, one day we see you struggling with public transport in Latvia and a few days later you are visiting iconic pubs in Glasgow. 😁 Your content is so diverse, love it. That said I am a native Dutch lad but live in Ireland for about 14 years now (Irish Wife) 😁 and discovered the 12 pubs of Christmas tour they do in many places here in Ireland. Quadruple hangover guaranteed the next morning!!! 🤣 I have done a couple since I live here and it is absolutely a fun thing to do, visit 12 pubs in 1 evening in your town or city with a group of friends / family or co-workers. So it is not an unfamiliar thing for me to see people going into multiple pubs. 😄

Excellent as ever, dear friends! This could be the start of a new series too - you could always do it by council area if there aren't ten best pubs in say, Dundee, or Aberdeen cities... Glasgow just has so many to choose from - and I'm glad you made it into one or two suburbs. Many years ago I remember the Islay Bar, which I don't think is too far from the Lismore, as being a memorable place with a Hebridean theme; and there are even alternatives such as long-established gay bars like the Waterloo, and even Delmonica's; and I'm sure there will be equivalents for other minorities! I did think when you said "Good Morning" to us all at the end that you were going to say, "We've decided to do another ten today!" Nobody would have blamed you!!

I lived in Glasgow for 4 years. In fact, I briefly stayed in one of the top flats at 18:03 above The Old Toll Bar & which looked on to the Grand 'Ole Opry House. Sadly, I never got to visit any pubs as my job was Estate Agency & I was always driving. When I lived through In Edinburgh though, that was different story, lol. I didn't even know some of these existed. Great too see all the wee pubs full of great locals, though. Nice one guys 🍻

Great video, it’s been mentioned before but I would also recommend the Allison Arms on the Southside, my favourite pub in Glasgow. Moved away from the area but still go back to drink in the Ally Arms.
