Working out of the city centre has his perks, myself and my good friend Aiden have decided to sample the lesser known pubs in the town and do a small review, we start with one I've always wanted to have a pint in but never got the chance....until now.
The Gallery Bar situated on Buchannan Street(named after Mitch Buchannan) between The subway and that statue of some guy that always used to get fcuked before they “put it up high and that”
The Gallery is noted in society for its exquisite taste and to be fair is quite a decent pub, for whatever reason (and I may not be alone here) has always been synonymous with the “bunnet shops” ( you know who you are goose) of this fair city meaning that if your sick on the floor and the most they put down is sawdust then you’ve backed a wrong’un. The fact that it relies mainly on the local clientele does not fail it in it's ability to attract the tourist, and it's array of habitual drinks and drinkers only adds to the ambience sought after by the foreigner looking for a 'handy pint' in the heart of the city!!
BUT this place actually punches above its proverbial as the décor is nice the pints are good(most importantly) and the bar staff seem quite friendly. They serve food and have a large projector screen which all in all is pretty good for a small pub that relies mainly on a passing trade…..
Gav’s rating 7/10
