Curlers, Glasgow

Curlers lays claim to the title of Glasgow's oldest public house, but even though it was established 700 years ago, competition abounds. However, it is certainly the most popular with the local student population as even on a Wednesday lunch-time you'll be lucky to find a table. Attractions here include pool tables, puggies, cheap beer promotions and an all-round great atmosphere. Food is available before the serious drinking begins and the menu is basic and hearty, specializing in stodgy classics such as bangers and mash and burgers. It's a bit quieter and brighter upstairs where they show football matches on a huge screen and entertain drinkers with quizzes and live bands.
