Let's try again.

My favourites are 26 Hope St and Maltman as they're full of normal people having a laugh and a few drinks. Yours?

The Three Judges or at Partick , It is a locals pub but has a great range of real ales and the prices are ok.

At the new year they had plates of shortbread and cake at the door as a nice welcome,

I couldn't say. I was just a lowly session mandolin player (mandocrucian) who turned up, played on command and was paid in ale. Then off to the Ritz on North Street.
