This traditional pub in the Merchant City, Glasgow has a very nice and relaxed atmosphere. No background music, the emphasis is on conversation. Very good pub food at more than reasonable prices. There is also a restaurant on the first floor, with a good variety of game, and they even offer accommodation. A very friendly and relaxed place to meet friends and make some new ones.
16-18, Blackfriars St, Glasgow

I agree with this tip and they supply all the Sunday heavies to read. I stayed here in 2003. The food was yummy. The bar atmosphere was very convivial. I'd recommend it. The accommodations were barely better than a youth hostel. Clean. But tiny and unadorned. Almost bunks. We slept but the bed was uncomfortable. I think I remember a nice breakfast in the morning and I remember it was fun to be in the bar in the bright morning light.I would suggest if you are looking for an authentic experience at not a dear price in the heart of Glasgow, this is a terrific option.
Stay here. Don't be afraid...but don't expect the Ritz !
