Clutha & Victoria Bar, Glasgow

Clutha is an old Scots name for the River Clyde, on whose banks the pub almost sits, being separated only by Clyde Street. One of Glasgow’s oldest pubs, in one of its oldest streets, it has been much modernised but retains a traditional atmosphere. It consists of a single bar room with a low beamed ceiling and wood panelled walls decorated with old photos of the city. It is best known as a folk music venue, but obviously doesn’t restrict itself to this genre as the juke box was playing modern rock music and a T. Rex tribute band was in the process of setting up. An excellent pint of Orkney Dark Island Ale cost me only £2.95 and Caledonia Best, Guinness, Magner’s cider and Tennent’s, Stella Artois and Estrella Damm lagers were also on draught. Food is served between 12.00 noon and 3.00 p.m. If the weather permits, it’s worth having a wander into the ancient looking, stone walled beer garden, which the Clutha appears to share with the adjacent Victoria Bar and Bistro. There are also a couple of tables on the street outside the front door.

Yes another great Glasgow pub worth a visit
