Join us on National Bourbon Day as we delve deep into the delights of Kentucky bourbon
The Old Toll Bar stands as a significant cultural landmark on Paisley Road West, a testament to Glasgow's rich social history. Built in 1874, this establishment, once a grand 'Gin Palace', continues its legacy as a vital gathering place, recognised by Glasgow CAMRA with a blue plaque for its preserved heritage. It serves not merely as a commercial venture but as a cherished community asset, drawing patrons from across the city and beyond for its enduring character and convivial atmosphere.
Within its walls, a meticulously restored Victorian grandeur unfolds. The deep mahogany panelling gleams under the soft glow of atmospheric candlelight, while intricate stained-glass windows cast colourful patterns across the room by day. The air often carries the subtle scent of aged wood and the murmur of conversation, creating an inviting warmth that encourages lingering. The smooth, cool surface of the stone bar top offers a tactile counterpoint to the rich, carved timber.
The bar boasts a thoughtfully curated selection of beverages, from classic cocktails and an extensive array of gins and malt whiskies to a rotating choice of craft beers on cask and keg. For those seeking an outdoor respite, a secluded beer garden provides a pleasant space during fairer weather. The venue is easily accessible, situated a short walk from Shields Road metro station and on key bus routes, welcoming all members of the community, including children and pets.
Throughout the week, The Old Toll Bar hosts a dynamic programme of events. Patrons can enjoy evenings of live music, engaging comedy performances, spirited open mic sessions, and various dance classes. These regular happenings cultivate a lively and engaging environment, reinforcing its role as a hub for entertainment and social connection.
