Augustines II

In view of my second in command’s upset, we bought tickets to see Augustines in Glasgow. 

And, rather than steal a poster, I asked if we could have it. 

Augustines

My second in command has tears in her eyes. She just read that Augustines are calling it a day after this Autumn’s tour. 

I have no tears, but I’m also disappointed with this news. A great live band, possibly the best I’ve ever seen. 

Lord, I see red …

Mono

And, now, our first visit to Mono. I was only told about the place yesterday, a veggie bar-cafe-music shop. 

We’re not hungry, but the menu is impressive. They even stock Sam Smith’s beer too. 

Staff discount

My second in command has used her staff discount for the first time. And she did well. 

A room with a view. Half price at the bar too.

Macsorleys

The name has no apostrophe. But a gorgeous bar though, pretty high on my list of preferred establishments.

West

Glaswegian German beer. This is my third visit to West, a great bar/brewhouse just off Glasgow Green. 

We’re having Munich Red.

Saramago

Last time I was in Glasgow, There was a bar-cafe that I really wanted to try. It’s just off Sauchiehall Street, near the ABC. Saramago. 

I was with old gentlemen, so didn’t get to visit; it’s a vegan place and they don’t get such things. 

I’m here now though. And it’s truly great (although expensive).
