This pub was built around 1870 for John Whyte when it was fashionable to have island bars. It has absolutely tons of history surrounding it and is a bit of a Glaswegian institution. You can find it in the Guinness Book of Records for having the UK's longest continuous bar. It is one of only a few old-fashioned, friendly and welcoming places to relax with a pint in the city centre, and it provides a welcome respite from the mass of ultra-trendy style bars.
