The State Bar, Glasgow

Another pub on the outer western reaches of Central Glasgow with an island bar. The State Bar has many traditional touches, including old photos and tiled wood carvings, an old street map of the city on the ceiling, though what was presumably once a traditionally tiled floor is now wood. There's 7 hand pumps on that island bar, though one is unclipped today, leaving 2 Oakhams, 1 each from Thornbridge and Almasty and 3 from Scottish brewers. These are supported by numerous colourful keg fonts, a considerable number of which offer The Big T. Champions League is displayed on at least 2 screens, though fortunately with the sound off at present. All in all, not a bad pub, my enjoyment only spoiled by the heaviness of the Stewart Brewery ale I opted for, butthis will be down to style, rather than any fault on the pub's part.
