Quaich

Head down to Coustonholm Road in Shawlands and you'll find the kind of pub that's stopped trying to be anything other than what it is: a proper local. The Quaich pulls a decent crowd of regulars who aren't after ironic décor or craft cocktails, just a solid pint and somewhere comfortable to settle in. It's the sort of place where the bar staff know what you're drinking before you ask, and the conversations at the next table feel like they've been going on for years—because they probably have. You'll get decent grub too, nothing revolutionary but honest food that pairs well with a lager.
