The gang is complete now! After settling in at the hostel or apartment, we went to The City Cafe for dinner, then for a little walk and some drinks.
A fine start of this trip, I’d say.

Near Victoria Coach Station there aren’t many nice places to eat or drink, but the previous times I was here, I hadn’t much choice due to the limited time I had. Since I arrived a bit early, I had enough time to venture a bit deeper into Pimlico, to a nice Turkish restaurant I found on Foursquare in preparation for this trip: Cyprus Mangal. Their karişik kebab dish was just what I needed.
Then I noticed a craft beer pub nearby — CASK Pub and Kitchen — and since I still had time for a couple of pints…
Had a very nice lunch at Babu Bombay Street Kitchen with the Glasgow friends I met during my last visit.
On my way to BrewDog, I stopped for a cask ale at The Three Judges. Couldn’t resist ordering “Indiana’s Bones” when I saw the iconic hat on the tap label! 🙂
Old Stag Inn, 12 Greenview Street, Glasgow,
Located in what is known as The Stag Building (Architect Thomas Baird 1862 – 1953), The Old Stag pub was first listed in the Glasgow Post Office Directory of 1889-90.
The licencee at this time was Mr John Lyns, who took over the license from D McCafferty between 1886 and 1888.
The Stag Building was erected in 1905 by John Lyons to include housing and shops. Original shops were Carmichaels Chemist and Dougie’s Dairy.
