The Windsor Bar

Head down London Road in Bridgeton and you'll find yourself in the kind of bar that doesn't need Instagram to prove its worth. The Windsor's the sort of place where the barmaid knows what you're drinking before you order, where conversation actually happens, and where you're just as likely to bump into someone's gran as you are a mate from work. It's got that lived-in warmth that comes from decades of locals propping up the bar, telling stories, and generally getting on with things. This is Glasgow drinking at its most unpretentious—real ale, real people, real chat. The kind of spot where an afternoon easily becomes an evening without you noticing.
