Quick one on the way back to the digs – two cask on in Loch Lomond Silkie and Orkney Red McGregor (NBSS 3) via air dispense, are these fonts new? Don’t recall them from previous. Music too loud, no need for it. Last orders bell and flashing lights for time, very old-fashioned. I like it here but the Bon and State are the two best options for cask; this is more a one-drop, nice as it is. 7.5
March 2022
An unfussy, comfy and traditional place split over two levels with banquettes and ornate ceiling (sadly dowdily painted). 700+ whiskies advertised and stored in the impressive dark wood bar gantry, this includes a ‘malt of the month’ for £2.50 which is excellent value and was heartily accepted by the missus. Three Scottish cask ales; over my two visits I tried the Top Out (NBSS 3.5) and Orkney Island Life (3) though on both occasions they were both a tad warm despite decent turnover. There are also apparently some interesting Franconian bottles in the fridge too. In a more offbeat note, there are old barrels repurposed as sinks in the toilets. This is a nice gentle all-rounder and is a bit of a default in the centre though its relatively bijou size means that you need to time your visit. Rated 8

A year and a half on from my previous visit here and some things have changed, while other things are much the same. The whisky-botherers are still very much in evidence at the bar, with their endless questions and massive orders. Seats still turn over quickly and the buzz of conversation continues to drown out the background music. There's ales pouring on 3 of the 4 traditional pumps, but I'm now paying £4.95 for my pint, though this is still cheaper than most pubs in Central Glasgow, just not the bargain price I encountered before.
Overall though, the Pot Still remains a great pub and a destination for beer lovers (and clearly, whisky lovers as well).

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Pot Still
Attractive pub with a split-level interior and a tall bar-back featuring a huge array of malts (with over 1,000 claimed, some requiring a ladder to reach). Not been in since 2013, but little of seems to have changed thankfully, with traditional furniture and décor and unusual decorated ceiling beams above the main part of the bar. Four handpumps, offering Stewart's Pentland IPA, Harviestoun Vienna dark lager, Adrift from Otherworld (£4.45) and Cromarty Pibroch. Good atmosphere, and well worth seeking out.
