226 Gallowgate

Head down Gallowgate towards the city centre and you'll find yourself in a pub that actually feels like it belongs to Glasgow rather than some template. The place has that lived-in quality—worn wood, dim lighting, the sort of spot where regulars have their own stools and the staff remember what you drink. You're getting proper pub food here, the kind that doesn't apologise for itself, paired with a decent selection of ales that suggest someone actually cares about what's on tap. It's the sort of place you stumble into on a Friday night and realise you've found exactly what you were looking for without knowing you were looking for it.
