The Ben Nevis

The Ben Nevis is a lively Argyle Street pub for those looking for the simple pleasures in life, great conversation, good whisky, and cracking tunes. With folk sessions three nights a week this is the bar for over 50s in Glasgow for those who like their trad music, their choice tipples and their rustic Scottish decor. 

The Pot Still

The Pot Still is what some might call an old man's pub, though we mean this is in the best way possible; fine aged whisky, mighty banter, historic surroundings and a laid back pace. This place is popular with many a Glaswegian, bustling every evening with the after-work crowd, shoppers, locals and tourists, though for over 50s, it's a choice spot indeed. With an incredible selection of whisky, dram fans will call this place home. 

Stravaigin

Stravaigin is a pretty, lively, yet relaxed restaurant bar in Glasgow, and a choice spot for foodie over 50s in Glasgow. With wine tasting and world cuisine events, it's a great place to meet like-minded folks, and try something a little bit different. Sophisticated, yet low key, this West End bar is a true gem in Glasgow. 

The Golf Lounge

If you're looking for a little more from your night out in Glasgow than simply sitting at the bar, The Golf Lounge is a nifty bar for over 50s in Glasgow. A bar with virtual golf, customers can play over 50 international courses without leaving Glasgow city centre. Perfect for those either unable to make it around the full 18 holes, or those looking for a little action when they go for a drink.
