Cairns Bar

You're walking into Miller Street and stepping straight into what Glasgow pubs used to be before they all got Instagram-filtered into oblivion. Cairns Bar is the kind of place where the regulars outnumber the tourists, the ales are taken seriously, and nobody's worried about whether their pint looks artisanal enough. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel—sticky floors are part of the charm, not a bug. The Belhaven connection means decent beer selection without the pretension, and it's the sort of spot where you can actually hear yourself think, or have a proper chat without shouting over some playlist of indie covers.
