Shilling Brewing Co - Glasgow

Located within a couple of hundred yards of Glasgow Central Station, in a magnificent old street corner bank building, sits Shilling Brewing Co.

The bar occupies an airy high-ceiling space with the bar at one end with the brewery behind and above on a mezzanine level.  There is seating for about 75, with plenty of standing room at the bar end, for what I imagine could be crowded weekend nights.

In the back corner is a handsome pizza oven, and they serve an imaginative range of meat and veggie pizzas, at reasonable prices.

The bar had 5 of Shilling's own beers, as well as 25 guest taps, from many of the leading UK craft breweries.

The service on a midweek evening was very good, and the beers were exceptional.

Several of the best features from the old bank have been left in place, including a wall of safety deposit boxes in the corner of the bar. In the basement, the gents and ladies toilets are both accessed via magnificent thick vault doors, which is a nice touch.

All in all, this is a fabulous bar, which I would happily frequent, if only I lived less that 400 miles away!
