Places to drink
The best whisky bar in the world (personal opinion) and right in the city centre.
The staff are all friendly, even if you don’t like whimsy they’ll find something you should try.

The underground
Shields Rd underground is only a few minutes walk from my flat so it’s perfect for getting you to shopping hub in the centre via Buchanan street or the St Enoch Centre, or you can get over to the West End and visit Kelvingrove galleries via Kelvinhall station, or go drinking down Ashton Lane via Hillhead station.
