Wetherspoons … paucity of decent ale
I live out on the north side of Glasgow and if I was heading into town for some decent ale, the last place I’d be visiting would be Wetherspoons. There are at least two indie breweries a baw hair from the city centre (probably more), plus a variety of pubs selling the output from the plethora of micro breweries that have sprung up all across Scotland.
Speaking as an Aberdonian, and it breaks my heart to say this, but Glasgow is an okay place to live and work. Like Perchy, I work in some of the less salubrious areas of the city and, although there are a good selection of dicks inhabiting the place, the overwhelming majority of people I interact with a great, with the current lockdown really bringing out the absolute best in very many of them, despite the kicking they’re getting down at the bottom of the economic ladder.
Anyway, back on topic – Glasgow is a fine place to stay, although my vote would be to keep to the north side of the city for maximum access to the good stuff.
