May 18th: Getting accumulated in Scotland PT.1

Rise and shine Miss Operetta! Your in Glasgow and it's time to see the town, and get some food and drams. Me and Cara took care of some errands in the city centre.

She showed and explained to me the history, architecture, and art design in this town that looks very megalithic in my opinion.

First, we began our journey at the Pot Still: http://www.thepotstill.co.uk/default.htm , which is situated near theater's and loads of international restaurants.

It has been established since 1835 to a wine/spirits merchant then the McColl family took over in 1867 until 1981!


As of today, John Waterson has ownership and offers hundreds of whiskies to delight your sense's.

I really like this place. I will definitely return to this lovely whisky pub!

Next, we headed over to Ubiquitous Chip: http://www.ubiquitouschip.co.uk/ , which has been established since 1971. The Chip is a Scottish style restaurant that has more to offer than most places I've seen in the UK.

The Chip uses locally sourced food, has 32 wines by the glass, and can suit the dining style needs to almost any patron.

Ubiquitous has a Wee Bar, Corner Bar, Large Bar, brasserie, general dining room, mezzanine, and a roof top to dine and drink.

This place is just gorgeous. I love the brick walls, the greenery caressing the walls, and the cobble stone floors in the courtyard.

For some reason, I enjoy dining and drinking in the Mezzanine.

Me, Cara, and her friends Iain and Jon had a flavorsome lunch in the "mezzy", or how I also like to pronounce it: mezzzzza---kneeeeee-nah.

Last on our adventure for the day was the Ben Nevis bar: http://bit.ly/lcpT8i . This west Highlands inspired bar is designed in natural decor and offers almost 200 whiskies.

This is a nice bar to get a good meal, hear some folk music and for heavens sake, get a darn good dram!
