Quinno _ left this review about The Three Judges

Corner pub abutting a busy junction. Fairly basic interior, dark varnish and a bit careworn with little of note. Nine pumps on (GBG, natch) which set the alarm bells ringing on a hot day in Glasgow. Good luck starting as the Inveralmond Thrapp was good (NBSS 3.5) but the Batemans Coffee Stout much less so (2) with little-to-no turnover in the previous 90 minutes. The Old Jock spluttered and went nowhere whilst the Orkney Dark Island was clearly towards the arse-end of the barrel (2). Suspect it's a bit of a lottery in here, check what the locals are drinking when the outside temperature exceeds 20 degrees, the staff clearly aren't managing the cellar effectively.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Three Judges

Fine, traditional ale house. Irregularly-shaped bar with some wood panelling, several ceiling fans and a number of attractive lighting fittings. Mix of furniture, with some of the old-fashioned narrow tables that can just about accommodate a few pint glasses. Small raised seating area in the outside corner, presumably also used as a stage for the advertised live music events. With seven of the nine cask ales listed on the chalkboard available on this visit (my first for 13 years), the excellent selection - such as my Red McGregor from Orkney (£2.55, half) - all came from smaller Scottish breweries. Well worth the trip out from the city centre to nearby Kelvinhall subway station.

A popular, busy corner pub across the road from the Lismore. The long bar has three clusters of hand pumps, making 10 altogether with nine cask beers listed on a blackboard. I was invited to check the list but I prefer looking at the pump clips, and I soon found what I was looking for: Orkney Dark Island, an old favourite that had been strangely missing when I visited Ryrie's near Haymarket station the previous day. It was in very good condition (NBSS 3.5), but looking at my photos now I'm almost sorry that I paid no attention at the time to the other eight beers. We visited this and the Lismore as part of a pub research trip covering up to 10 pubs in Glasgow, but this one would be a worthy venue in its own right.
