The Drover Bar

You'll find The Drover tucked into Gallowgate in the East End — the kind of pub that doesn't need to try very hard because it's been doing the same thing right for years. Walk in and you're met with that unmistakable smell of a well-used bar: wood, beer, time. The crowd is decidedly local, the sort of place where folk have their regular spot at the bar and the bar staff know what you're drinking before you ask. It's not Instagram-friendly, it's not trying to be anything other than what it is: a proper Glasgow pub where you can actually have a conversation without shouting.
