Celtic Away

Gavin (Newcastle United)

I presume they mean Given?

[Babysis]

Scotia Bar (it has a late open pool hall upstairs)

Ah the memories. Also known as the ballroom of romance. I wonder if they still have the legendary sign in name in their book M.T.P.ENIS
All i have to say about that place is: "Vote labour - i do"

Nice one Pat O', you should get a job in the glasga tourist affice. True about Tennents, like a mixture of acid and p!ss, must be the worst drink in the world. It is cheap, but pls spend a few pennies extra and save your stomach and your soul I know Bar Republic, is good.

Yeah all around the Gallowgate you'll find all the Celtic bars, some of which play rebel musica, if ya don't like just head straight to the game, but I do think it is worth having a nosey, if you've never been there before, to check out the display at Bairds and The Brazen Head has a helluva collection on their ceiling. You'll find some decent Celtic supporters in here from Ireland and the UK, but you do get a few neddy wee ba$tards too, just ignore them.

Pat is right, ever since the severe trouble(killings and fighting) during the Old Firm and the new anti-sectarian laws, more and more pubs are becoming strict, the majority do not allow football colours, some all the time, some just during the Old Firm. So maybe it will be ok on 29thmay.

City Centre -Waxy O Connor's (near Buchanan St underground) is a nice place, good for the rugby. Huge place, recommended for a drink, usually no colours on old firm, but maybe will be ok for this one, will check it out. They allow rugby shirts etc anyway so...

Failte- (used to be Finnegan's Wake, st vincent's st) Good place, but quite small, good for breakfast, will allow footie colours

Molly Malone's Top of Hope Street- good place, quite big,I seen Neil Lennon in here once always busy, will allow footie colours.

Couple of O'Neill's, George Square, Merchant City (beware don't end up in Bennett's by accident ) and Sauchiehall St.

West End - Jinty McGinty's - nice wee place, ashton lane,near hillhead underground, but small, decent Guinness, but Tayto crisps are 60p!! Thieving Ba$tards!!

Apart from that, most other bars are on Sauchiehall Street, if you are a rich git and want a bit more class, or want to avoid Celtic/Irish bars, maybe pick up a sunbed queen, go to Merchant City or the West End bars

Pat is right, thickos here will assume Ireland shirt=Celtic supporter, so any wee Ranger neds who decide to come in 'fayr the dancin' that night, will be in heaven when looking for a fight. Try to ignore them. I usually put on a New Zealand accent on Old Firm nights if I'm brave enough to go out...

All in all, it is a safe city, just use common sense.

mini cabs are cheaper then Black taxis? How do they make any money? I always feel like the richest man on earth in Glasgow 'cause the taxis are so cheap i can get them anywhere.

Nice one Pat O', you should get a job in the glasga tourist affice.

Don't think that my opinions on Glaswegians would impress the tourist board

[Junior]

Its a good walk from the Gallowgate to the ground and if you are at the top of the road leave about fourty five minutes to get to the ground walking.

Jaysus you must have small legs!!!!! 25 mins tops from the Gallowgate to CP.

KT, please tell me you've been to more tha the Oirish Theme bars during your stay in Scoootland?

[Pat O' Banton]

Small but perfectly formed!

Yes, mostly crawl about west end cos it is nearby where I live and near uni and city centre places at the weekend, but my detailed lecture on Oirish themed bars was for those who have not been here before and want to go there, I actually never really go to them, except for Waxy's cos I like it.

Depends really, but that company are cheaper than black cabs.

Pat O banton mentioned a pub called "the vaults". Its the "Clutha vaults" and is a superb place, good live music on a Friday/Saturday night. Its pretty much the only place I visit in the centre, apart from the aforementioned Scotia .

Kerrs Tribe/ Pat O banton have given a good rundown but as a Glasgow resident I'll stick a couple of reccomendations in.

West End
If you're not wearing colours, its the best place for drinking. My faves:
The Lismore, Dumbarton Road Partick - Great whiskey, nice mix of locals and students.
The Goat, Argyle st, Yorkhill - New bar but good atmos and good pub grub.


Merchant city
Blackfriars - good unpretentious bar in the hub of it.

Glasgow is a safe city as long as you use a bit of common sense. If you have an English accent, you might get a couple of quizzical comments from Celtic fans. Some of them seem to think that Irish people only emigrated to Glasgow However the majority are a decent bunch. It should be a cracking day and I'm looking forward to it

[Green Tribe]

Shall I put you in the rollcall Davey?How many of you is there?
