Horseshoe Bar Glasgow

You'll spot the Horseshoe from Drury Street by the queue of punters spilling onto the pavement, all waiting to belly up to what's allegedly Scotland's longest continuous bar. This Victorian beauty has been slinging pints since 1884, and the mahogany horseshoe-shaped bar remains the centrepiece of one of Glasgow's most enduring boozers. The upstairs lounge transforms into karaoke central most evenings, where you'll witness everything from off-key renditions of Proclaimers classics to surprisingly decent attempts at Adele. Downstairs stays mercifully music-free if you're after proper conversation over a pint. The food's honest pub grub – think steak pie that actually tastes homemade and chips that aren't frozen. At these prices in the city centre, you'd be daft not to eat. It's touristy, sure, but locals still pack in here because it does exactly what it says on the tin: proper Glasgow pub with character by the bucketload.
