15th July 2015

Tis the season for makeovers and facelifts in the Glasgow pub scene. The Halt is now West On the Corner, Denholms is currently shut for what is called a "much needed makeover". ( I hope the frieze remains ) . Other bars, like The Quarter Gill, have closed. Bars are planned to be changed into hostels ( McNeills ) So it is with some worry that you read of another "facelift"

I am not quite sure what has changed :) . Apart from me knowing how to take better phone pictures.

Wintersgills Bar, Glasgow

This bar has one of the great subtle bar features ( like Vale/Avant Garde ) a sloped bar front. Your feet have more room while the top is still close to you.

Last September; look how bare it all is especially the gantry.

p.s. Would it not be great if they got Rogue-One or Smug etc in to paint that white arched wall. Even a little trompe l'oeil to extend the roof or something

Nice update of bar. Menu looks great, it will be interesting sorting out who ordered what "Who has the Sack, Back & Crack?" , the "sb&c" maybe.
This area with Inn Deep, Valhallas Goat, The Cave, Squid & Whale and older bars like The Belle etc give it much the same feel as the Finnieston part of Argyle St.

The right hand electrical box used to look like a calculator. I am sure they could be upgraded to a smartphone and a tablet now.

The "Thanks To" page used to have some names. The jump to "And Also" is a bit jarring

Unfortunately the current building work means i couldnt get the completely unfolded view i wanted.

Very different from Captains Rest . Where i am seated is basically where the bar was.
Way more open and brighter. This is not the most interesting view but typical new bar opening tweaking and fixing was going on, the bar itself is great looking with a large white tiled back. Reminds me quite a bit of Jacksons and Dukes. You can see Wintersgills directly across Great Western Road. I am intrigued to see how well it operates at this end of Great Western Road with few offices for a lunch time crowd and Wintersgills and Roxy 171 so nearby. Additionally Maclays has two other similar places ( Dram and Landsdowne ) close by and they may split the trade rather than grow it.
Good burger ( meat fine, but as with everywhere in Glasgow bun is not as good as it could be. Why is that top not the same size as the bottom :-) its not a muffin ). You know its a new kitchen because all the condiments are fresh and unused :-)
