The State Bar, Glasgow

This pub had its interior ripped out in the 1960s, but it has been restored to a certain extent in recent years and received an accolade from Camra for it. The magnificent bar counter has seven hand pumps with five beers on at the time of my visit. The Almasty Green was inevitably hazy and sweet, and the Ossett Leviathan Rising, a West Coast IPA, was more like an English best bitter, but both were in very good nick (NBSS 3.5 on average). Worth the walk out from the centre.
