Plus the SUBWAY CRAWL - 15 subway stops and the closest bars.
Glasgow Subway pub crawl
This is the Glasgow subway crawl. This consists of having a drink at the nearest or in some cases the best nearest, although in still other cases there is no choice.
The 15 stop crawl is often accompanied by fancy dress and the need to consume a different drink at each stop. These kinds of refinements are up to the individual or group decision.
GLASGOW: SUBWAY PUB CRAWL
If approaching Glasgow from Queen St station then the first subway is Buchanan St (3 min); if approaching from Glasgow Central then the first subway is St Enoch's (5 mins) but as Buchanan St is also about 6 minutes away it makes Buchanan St Subway the most convenient starting point from either station.
Do the sub-crawl in the other direction by going to the bottom of THIS PAGE and working up.
Going in reverse means the West End of Glasgow is near the end of the journey.
Buchanan St -
If starting at Buchanan St subway then Waxy O’Conners is reached by:
From Glasgow Central : leave the station by main entrance and turn right walking along Gordon St to reach Buchanan St which has no traffic allowed on it. Turn up to the left and walk up, across St Vincent St, to the next junction and Waxy O’Connor’s is across the road to the right.
From Queen St: Turn left down from the main entrance and then right on the road. Waxy O’Connor’s is reached before the corner.
From Waxy O’Connor’s turn towards the pedestrianised Buchanan ST and go round to the right. The subway entrance is now in the middle of the road.
If getting off at Buchanan St subway right up the escalators and there is an alleyway to the your right - along here is the back door to the Waxy O'Connors.

Waxy O’Connor’s is an interesting bit of a warren. The design is to give the impression you are sitting in rooms found in the roots of a tree (with organ pipes) From the front door you can go straight ahead or upstairs or round and downstairs. There are three levels plus a large landing space between ground and first floor. Once upstairs you can look down on the downstairs space. There are three serving areas and lots of small drinking areas some on raised floors giving it an intimacy.

WARNING
You can actually walk the 1.5 miles between The Kensington (at Cessnock) and The Lauriston (at Bridge St) quicker than going back and forward to the subway station and still call at the sub-crawl pubs following pubs in between; The Bellrock (at Kinning Park), The Old Toll Bar (at Shields Rd) and The Lord Nelson (at West St). All of the pubs are on Paisley Rd West and then Morrison St. Though you do find that on Paisley Road West you will walk by other pubs which are not part of the subway crawl. No such problem exists on Morrison St as only The Lord Nelson and The Lauriston are on it.
In fact The Lauriston (Bridge St) and Time's Square (St Enochs) can be walked in 8 minutes.
It depends on whether being on the underground as much as possible is part of the fun!
UPDATE
The Lord Nelson is currently closed. This means that it is difficult to find a close and convenient pub to West St subway.
In fact The Lauriston, which is closest to Bridge St subway is now also the closest to West St. Subway at 10 minutes. One positive outcome would be to have TWO drinks in The Lauriston.
However if you must have a different pub for West St subway there are some possibilities:
Try Glasgow’s Star Bar (12 minutes) as closest to West Subway. This route looks quiet and dark for night-time travel.
Use The Brazen Head (9mins) pub as the closest to Bridge St and The Lauriston as the closest to West St subway. It is then up to you whether you actual alight at West St at all or merely visit two for Bridge St. This route looks quiet and dark for night-time travel.
or the recommended choice
Use Sharkey’s (9mins) pub as the closest to Bridge St and The Lauriston as the closest to West St subway. It is then up to you whether you actual alight at West St at all or merely visit two for Bridge St . Finding Sharkey’s looks the easiest route along a busy main road but could still be a lonely walk.
Remember that it is not just the walk to the pub but there is a return journey as well.
11. Kinning Park
Come out of the subway and walk behind it under the curving footbridge and walk left up Cornwall St towards Paisley Road West and at the corner of these two streets is The Bellrock.
The Bellrock
The Bellrock is a small one roomed pub with the entrance on the corner. This leads directly to the pool table area which has some seating and small tables around its sides. Beyond the pool table is the servery along the back right wall and curving round to the right where the room widens out. There is standing room only between the counter and the wall, with seating restarting at the end of the servery and going round to the right

12. Shields Rd
Come out of the subway and turn right along Scotland St and right again to walk under the motorway. Do not go down the path but follow the road under the motorway and come onto Seaward St. First street on the left is Stanley St where The Stanley bar was a minute along, on the second corner making it the closest. However, The Stanley closed , so if you turn right at Admiral St (the first corner) and 2 minutes further just around the corner on Paisley Rd West is, a wee gem, The Old Toll Bar.
The Stanley (closed)
Stanley Bar is a small corner pub with an entrance both sides. The L shaped room has a servery along the left-hand wall serving a bar area with wooden floor and along the right-hand side is a carpeted bit with seating and tables. Celtic memorabilia decorate the wall. CLOSED HISTORY OLD GLASGOW PUB
