The Ugly Duck

You'll find The Ugly Duck tucked right on High Street, and it's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Walk in and you're greeted by the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned — there's real craft going on behind the bar, not just pouring pints on autopilot. The drinks menu takes itself seriously without being pretentious, and the staff actually know their stuff. It's become a proper fixture for anyone who knows where to look on Paisley's High Street, drawing a mix of after-work crowd and weekend drinkers who've sussed it out.
