Colin Walker left this review about Laffertys

Laffertys owners also manage Denholms, which is across the road at No17 and 26 Hope St further up the street at No 26. Laffertys operates as a lively bar, cafe, and "boozers pub" known for its live music, and weekend karaoke. There is food available such as soup, burgers and street snacks. The pub is certainly cleaner and feels more open than when it was an earlier re incarnation. At the time of visiting, the drinks on offer were Guinness, Guinness 0.0, Strongbow, Tennent’s, Peroni and Mahdri. The pub has Gold Awards Best Bar None Glasgow in 2022, 2023 & 2024. I visited Sept 2026.

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.

What you see is what you get the people are a bit rough and ready but no harm in them
