The Aragon Bar

Head down Byres Road towards the university end and you'll find The Aragon tucked in amongst the cafes and vintage shops—the kind of place that's been pulling pints since folk actually wanted to just sit down with a drink and have a conversation. It's got that lived-in feel where the bar staff know regulars by name, the walls have seen decades of Glasgow nights, and there's zero pretence about the whole operation. You get proper ales, decent spirits, and enough character in the room to remind you why pubs still matter.
