Lighthouse Bar

Walk into the Lighthouse and you're stepping into the kind of place that's kept Cathcart Street ticking over for years. It's got that worn-in comfort of a real neighbourhood pub—not trying too hard, just doing what it does well. You'll clock the mix of regulars nursing their pints and newcomers who've heard it's worth a visit, all rubbing shoulders in a space that feels properly lived-in. The crowd's relaxed, the drinks are reasonably priced, and there's enough character to make it feel like somewhere with actual history rather than another generic chain.
