Babbity Bowster, Glasgow

Surprisingly plain bar within quite a grand white-painted building. Smartly furnished but very little decoration so it all felt a bit sterile. Also has a part-covered beer garden on the right-hand side. The regular Fyne Ales Jarl was on one of the three handpumps, along with Cart Blanche from Kelburn (£5.70) and - of all things - Ruddles.

Looked upmarket from the outside. Inside is a bland stripped-back cacophonous headache, devoid of any real character (‘extensive refurbishment’ in 2020 says WhatPub), although there were attempts at humour on the menu. Three cask on the go; Kelburn Gold Hops, Belhaven 80 (NBSS 1) and Fyne Avalanche (4) – these were all handpump, air dispense has been…dispensed with. Didn't really take to it, despite the GBG listing.
