‘Morning my little drammers! It’s been way-too-long since I last came up with one of my “where to enjoy a good dram in…”<\/em> piece, and I actually even realised that I never featured Glasgow in this series… Still trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But hey, it’s high time I rectify this mistake and provide you with a personal shortlist of my favourite go-to whisky hotspots in Scotland’s largest city. Be prepared for some real mouth-watering teasing lines & pictures if you dare scrolling down this page…<\/p>\n

\"llllll\"<\/p>\n

The Pot Still – of course!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My N\u00b01 favourite whisky spot in Glasgow for sure… And a long-lasting institution amongst Glaswegian & tourists alike.<\/p>\n

\n

Definitely one of Glasgow best whisky bars (yes, even from a fairly objective point of view…)<\/em>. More whisky than you can handle (more than 600 whiskies currently behind the bar…), some old & rare expressions, from Scotch, Irish, American to Japanese and even French whisky ( \\o\/ #NationalPride ) along with more common names served aside cask ales, draught and bottled beers and homemade pies & toasties for those who fancy a small bite to eat with their dram.<\/p>\n

The bar has been runned as a family business (come on, it’s not like you’ve never heard of the Murphy Dynasty while talking to basically any Glaswegian whisky lover…)\u00a0<\/em>since 5 years now, receiving many awards for its selection & welcoming atmosphere. A must-go while in Glasgow! (and if all of this hasn’t convinced you yet, note that you’ll also be able to meet Glasgow’s one and only blue-bearded-Jedi bartender there… now you’ve got no excuse.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"llllll\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Bon Accord<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 800 different real ales sold per year and an impressive selection of 400+ whiskies of which many old and rare nectars; “the pinnacle of our collection being our 70-year-old Glenlivet.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t know when this statement was made, but last time I went there (which means 2 weeks ago)<\/em>, I spotted the famous drop-shaped bottle of Mortlach 75 years old released by Gordon&Macphail last year… See, there’s literally something for every budget there – and one of the best Port Ellen selection I’ve seen in a bar.<\/p>\n

Also worth noting for the technology addicts (and short-sighted people like me)<\/em>, you can browse their entire selection very easily through their iPad list (see below pictures). Kudos to them for this!<\/p>\n

The Lismore<\/strong><\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
One that has been many times recommended to me by locals. Even though the selection is not as large as the two previously mentioned bars, this is definitely a place worth checking out, especially for its stunning fa\u00e7ade and stained-glass windows.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0.<\/div>\n
A very traditional Scottish feel to it and an interesting story to read in the male toilets \ud83d\ude09 [Always the attention to detail I know… Not like I’ve been to the male toilets though… But hey, people talk.]. <\/em>Apart from that, I would also gladly invite you to check out their music programme for some celtic jaming\u00a0sessions.<\/div>\n

DRAM!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Not the most impressive selection of whisky (still around \u00a075 on offer) but a seriously-cool place worth a visit while you’re in Glasgow (food and beers are great too).<\/em><\/p>\n

Located on Woodlands Road in Glasgow’s West End and being only a few minutes from Glasgow University and Kelvinbridge underground station DRAM! is a firm favourite of locals and students alike.<\/p>\n

Bright (lovely big windows to stare out from and watch the world go by – a must-go for people watchers<\/em>) but cosy; with lots of comfy corners, candles, recycled and re-used furniture and fittings – and the odd stag’s head or two… Perfect to lose a few hours in Glasgow’s West end!<\/p>\n

Student societies and groups often meet up at DRAM! so if you’re looking for a casual, cool and youngish meeting venue or sponsorship – look no further!<\/p>\n

Oran Mor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A real must-go and probably the first bar I ever went to in Glasgow, nestled within a majestic old church and therefore boasting a very unique atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The Whisky Bar is one of the west end\u2019s most popular destinations, boasting over 280 malts. And you\u2019re always guaranteed a traditional warm Scottish welcome in this cultural meeting place.\u00a0If you fancy a bite to eat, the John Muir Room menu is available in the bar (I personally recommend the haggis bonbons & goat cheese salad)<\/em>. Also worth noting is the beautiful artistic piece from Alasdair Gray in The Auditorium, one of the largest pieces of publict art in Scotland.<\/p>\n
