More information on Uisge Beatha

Glasgow's best kept secret, this is probably the most typically Scottish pub in the city. The cluttered interior owes more to 19th century junk shops than any conscious style approach, creating a cozy, relaxed atmosphere with plenty of battered leather sofas and velvet covered pews to sink into. The name is Gaelic for "Water of Life", which is another way of referring to whiskey, of which the choice is abundant. If you can't pronounce Uisge Beatha, just call it the Whiskey Bar, lots of the locals do. The menu offers a selection of cheap and filling traditional fare with haggis, neeps 'n' tatties a bargain at less than a fiver. And after a heavy night on the town, the ideal hangover cure is undoubtedly a pint of Irn Bru and a Sunday Big Breakfast.
