The Oldest Glasgow Restaurant Is Still One Of The Finest


When it comes to bars and restaurants, Glasgow has it covered. This city is famous for its vibrant night life, but no matter how many wining and dining establishments you care to mention, only one of the can lay claim to being the oldest, and in Glasgows case, that establishment is Sloans Bar in the city centre.
