The Attic 44-46 Ashton Pl. Above the Cul de Sac restaurant (see 'Eating'). Stylish designer bar where you can enjoy tasty tapas and a bottle of plonk in cool, calm surroundings. Also good for a sandwich and fresh fruit smoothie at lunchtime.
The Brewery Tap 1055 Sauchiehall St. Classic student haunt, within skiving distance of the university. Convivial atmosphere, cheap food and a good selection of ales on tap are all major attractions, as are the weekday happy hour (1700-1900) and regular live music sessions (see 'Live music venues' below).
Firebird 1321 Argyle St. Yet another of the city's never-ending stream of new style bars, but this one has the distinct advantage of providing excellent food, especially their pizzas. Happy hour 1700-1900 daily and DJs Thu-Sun.
The Halt Bar 160 Woodlands Rd. Tel: 5641527. This erstwhile tram stop (hence the name) is one of Glasgow's great unspoiled pubs with many of the original Edwardian fixtures intact. Also a good place to see live music two or three times a week (see 'Live music venues' below).
The Living Room 5-9 Byres Rd. Near Kelvinhall Underground. Cool, relaxing space with good music and a wide choice of food throughout the day. Plenty of drinks promos, a happy hour, and DJs five nights a week are other reasons to pay a visit.
Uisge Beatha 232 Woodlands Rd. The "water of life" is one of those pubs you go into for a wee drink and you're still there many hours later, the day's plans in ruins around your feet. Looks and feels like a real Highland hostelry. Cosy and welcoming and serving ridiculously cheap food. Scottish in every sense, right down to the effigy of Mrs T's head strung up by a tartan scarf (if only it were real!).
