The Doublet - Glasgow City

Took friends from Berlin, Prague and Leipzig to what is probably the best remaining reasonable boozer in Woodlands. Downstairs you will likely find old skool west end types who wrote several episodes of Tenko and Z cars before you were born. Upstairs you will find live music and a much younger LGBTQ friendly crowd. Great to see things like Augustiner on sale. Friends were impressed and still mention the place!

Have been to this pub many times over the years and for the first time found the female member of bar staff who served us 'a bit nippy ' when she took our order. It seemed to be a bother to her that we couldn 't all decide what we wanted immediately on entering the pub. Ok so yes its good to see it hasn 't changed much as its just like old times but that includes the toilets which are just like old(en) times. Not pleasant. Also prices are stupidly high for this pub. So overall disappointed. What used to be a great wee pub now just isn 't.

We had soup and panini for lunch and it came with a lovely tomato salad. It was delicious! Nice coffee and lots of nice cakes. It was a sunny day so we could ait outside. It's a bit cramped on the sidewalk and the tables are leaning a little. Grading it to 3 and not 4 because you can't pay by card under 10 pounds. Friendly staff tho.

If you’re Glaswegian, and remember intelligent working men’s pubs, and don’t do fancy ****, and are not looking for the cheapest bevvy it’s at your supermarket), this may be your salvation. It’s as it was in the 60s can’t tell you about earlier, but 50s has to be safe). The beer line up is fab, as is the whisky gantry. Some snowflakes say they find the dunnies stinky: don’t know what you do in there Sunshine, but they were fine for me. And my Sheila. Who’s class. New proprietor, who is doing the sort of civic thing the berks in George Square never have, never will. If you’re up to it, join in and learn something.

Pub which has been here for decades without much change inside or out. Quite a young crowd in (mostly students you would surmise) which shows they are doing something right in attracting new customers over and over again. Although given the area it would be difficult not to. Good selection of draught beers and cider with friendly service.
