My partner and I popped into The Dirty Duchess at 23:28 on Tuesday the 5th of May for a quick pint on the understanding that closing time was 00:00.
We were informed on walking in that the bar was shut, close at 12 and last orders had been called 10 minutes previously. We were told we could go across to The Kelvingrove Cafe as she was sure they were open till 1. Given that we wanted a quick pint before midnight we were really baffled as to why we had to find somewhere that shut at 1am to do this. My partner commented that it was very early for last orders and was rudely informed “well go somewhere else then!”

I clearly didn’t look under 18. And if I was (which I am not) I was already sold alcohol. Disgusted on how we was...
Read moreIt's a pub. In a way, it reminds me of the student union when I was at university in the late seventies. It's a little rock and roll (although they were playing funk and hip hop). The Victorian decor has largely been retained. There are heavy, dark wood fittings and comfy booths which are little like old railway compartments. The beer selection is limited, but includes two modern IPAs (Neck Oil and Lagunitas) alongside old favourites like Guinness. It's friendly and we'll run and also serves slices of pizza. The music is quite loud and may not be...
