Bairds Bar, Glasgow

Unless you're HeIen Keller, you can't help but notice that this is a Celtic pub. Although i'm not a regular by any stretch of the imagination, only going in on the odd occassion when i've got tickets for Parkhead or going to a gig in Barrowlands, i would have to disagree with Sparky21. any time i've been in the locals have been polite and welcoming. Yes the locals get a wee bit carried away when the footie is on, but when i've been in on non match days, I've never seen any of the sectarian stuff mentioned above. i think the moral of his story is just to accept this pub for what it is and don't go telling the regulars that they're bigoted neds. people tend to take offence!

I love this pub. it's a bit like the bar in Star Wars with all the miscreants of the universe all in the one place....but in a good way! if you love people watching and are up for a bit of craic then this is the place for you. if you're looking to impress someone or are looking for a sophisticated night on the town, just keep walking into the Merchant City.
The amount of celtic memorabilia is outstanding, if somewhat tenuous at times; my all time faves are the baby Jesus and Che Guevara with celtic strips on. bizarre but fantastic! defo worth a look!
