Our Take on The Station Bar
The Station Bar stands at 55 Port Dundas Road in Cowcaddens, a traditional pub with a license on the site since 1850, when it was first granted to sell porter and spirits. It runs as a family business and has built its name on cask beer rather than trends.
The pull is the real ale. WhatPub and CAMRA list it as a real ale destination, and the bar describes itself as an award winning, family run pub. Its position near the Theatre Royal makes it a steady pre show pint, and it sits on our best craft beer bars in Europe map and the Glasgow craft beer guide.
Inside The Station Bar
This is a small, traditional Glasgow bar that has kept its character through generations of the same family running it. The cask lineup and a whisky selection do the talking, and the welcome is the reason regulars keep coming back.
It draws a mix of locals, theatergoers, and beer travelers checking off a heritage stop. For more in the same vein, see our craft beer bars near me hub.
