Been to "The 78" on Kelvinhaugh Road recently and just have to say that it is a very lovely place.

It's where Stereo used to be and still owned by the same Mono folks. The interior is lovely with old 78s on a shelf and  even a "his master's voice" beside an oldfashioned lamp.
There's also a few tables outside for the warmer days.

I loved the Music ( Arcade Fire and The Cure, also a band I had never heard of, called Moldy Peaches :o), the girls that served me were just darlings, and best of all:
Their selection of bottled organic cider and even their drought was one of the nicest ones I ever had.
They also have interesting organic Scottish Ales and all inn all I am sure I will be back to try their Falafels and Chili.

Possible venue for a drinks night?  As long as it's not £4.50 a pint...

Not sure about their drought prices but the bottles of organic ale are 3.70.
Which is actually not that bad. I hope ?

All I ever read here is moans and groans about prices in the pubs..`Urban Glasgow`....How Urban are we ?
Just a suggestion....Lets go to ASDA and get a few cases of Tennent`s and stop off at an Offie for a few bottles of Buckie and head for the Govan Graving Yards and sit with the troops

That sounds better than £3.70 a pint to me - I didn't realise I was living in London...
