The Pot Still is a small traditional bar with a serving counter on the left wall that faces high tables in the centre and banquettes down the right-hand wall. At the rear is a raised seating area. The bar supports standard keg alongside four hand pumps that were drawing Stow Brewery’s Dhu Brew, Skye Black, Broughton’s Sin Bin and Loch Lomond Brewery’s Southern Summit. I think the main draw for the other customers who had filled the bar on a recent midweek evening was the huge whisky choice available from shelf after shelf on the back bar. On the food front, pies are available during the day. There was some background music playing, but it was hardly audible over the chatter, so it didn’t really need to be on. I really liked it in here, but not enough to shell out for the advertised Pot Still T-shirts, glasses or keyrings.

A Glasgow institution,and an interesting place to drink,it's all very traditional both externally and within.You enter into the tap room with cast iron vertical columns with high drinking ledges to prop your drinks while consuming vertically.There are a few benches at the periphery while up a few steps is a seating area with leather bound fitted benches and small seating stools.The noteable feature is the whisky collection which extend to ceiling height all around the bar,a ladder is used to fetch high up bottles.There are even locked glass cabinets holding some very valuable bottles.The choice is vast.
Maps on the walls celebrate various distilleries and regions where you will find them.
It's not all whisky ,there are 4 beer pumps,an unusual sight these days ,offering on my Friday afterwork trip two real ales Orkney Dragon Head Stout and Born Blonde (unforgettable ,NBSS 2).I should have stuck to the whisky,that's this places USP.
However it's worth a visit to see an authentic Glasgow drinking bar,it attracts a good mixed crowd of young and old.

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.
