Pool.......it's the traditional British pub game that never disappoints. It's an ideal pastime to match a quiet Sunday afternoon pint or some lively after work drinks with your mates, an excellent pub treasure for those keen to release their competitive streak, and a perfect time-killer for students looking to have a laugh in between lectures. In Glasgow, there are pocket loads of pubs and bars partial to a spot of billiards, so next time you're looking to secure your weekly dose of pool and pints in the city, why not check out of these top bars.
