Sharkeys, Gorbals, Glasgow

Located in a couple of rail arches just south of the Clyde is Sharkeys, which was the closest bar to the Premier Inn I recently stayed at. There are two sides, but the right-hand side was lights out, so I remained in the rectangular left-hand bar. There were a couple of televisions that were off, but BT Sport was advertised. Because no worthwhile sport was being played during my early midweek afternoon visit the jukebox supplied some background music. The bar counter along the right wall faces banquettes up the left and at the rear is a kitchenette used to make burgers, wraps and sandwiches. The quarter pounder was a very reasonable £5.50. The service was very friendly, but only a standard keg range was available meaning this basic pub is not worth walking over the river to visit.
