Laffertys, Glasgow

A fairly small narrow bar situated at the Hope street exit of Central Station. probably better known as "McGinn's" (after the Scottish folk singer /poet - they renamed it after one of his LPs a few years ago) This is a boozers pub with a basic selection of standard beers (Guinness, Tennent's etc) all at reasonable /cheapish prices (though not always) spirits however are pretty cheap (Smirnoff and coke £1:60) Inside its a narrowish pub with the bar area at the far end as you enter - a few tables and chair populate the floor but most folk stand - 3 TV screens usually showing football are always on (its generally a Celtic pub ) it also has an utsdie area thats pretty busy with smokers) . Punters are a rough and ready crowd out for a good night and some can have way too much to drink but again on the times I have been there I have not seen much hassles and they are friendly. It has a popular karaoke at the weekend (Saturday being the busiest) and you can usually hear a rendition of the Black Eyed Peas hideous "I gotta a feeling" blaring out at some point as you pass by (usually followed by the Killers "Human" ) The toilets are tiny and the floor is usually covered in water from a broken tap /pipe (I hope!) more upsetting is that in the summer it has loads of those those wee fruit flys - Not my cuppa tea but locals are a dedicated lot.
