The Griffin Pub, Bath Street, Charing Cross, Glasgow

'The Griffin' website

The Griffin on Bath Street has one of those Glasgow histories where layers of architecture, theatre‑side bustle, and a succession of memorable publicans all leave their mark. A pub has stood on this site since 1865.

Corner of Cochrane Street and South Frederick Street, Glasgow

This location was used in the filming of World War Z a 2013 American action horror film starring Brad Pitt.

"...it was reported that filming would also take place in Glasgow, Scotland, in August,[35] the city doubling for Philadelphia, "with false shop fronts being constructed and American cars on the roads." Glasgow was reportedly chosen after "many months looking for the perfect city centre location to play an important part in the film." Philadelphia was passed on due to "uncertainties about state tax credits for filmmakers." Filming was originally planned to take place in Royal Tunbridge Wells, England before moving to Glasgow."

MacSorley's

Glasgow

MacSorley’s on Jamaica Street has one of the richest pub histories in Glasgow — beginning as the Clan Vaults in 1861 and transformed into the MacSorley’s we know today after a major rebuild in the late 1890s.

Origins: The Clan Vaults (1861–1897)

Licensed premises have stood at 42 Jamaica Street since 1861.

The early pub was known as the Clan Vaults, originally owned by William Dryburgh, then taken over in 1889 by George McGregor, who blended his own whisky on site and offered accommodation in ten rooms.

The Clan Vaults was noted for its ornate tiled entrance, snuggeries, and a distinctive half‑moon bar, with decorative glass panels featuring the Camel’s Head — the trademark of later owner Gray Edmiston, a well‑known Glasgow publican.

Philip MacSorley and the Rebuild (1897–1899)

Philip MacSorley took over the premises in 1897 and demolished the old building, replacing it with a new tenement and a modern pub on the ground floor.

The new MacSorley’s opened in 1899, positioned on the corner of Jamaica Street and Ann Street (now Midland Street).

Sam Dow's Pub

Glasgow

Dows Bar (formerly Samuel Dow’s) on Dundas Street has a long, layered history stretching back to the early Victorian period, with licensed premises on the site since 1841 and a succession of names reflecting Glasgow’s changing railway‑side culture.

The modern bar inherits the legacy of the Samuel Dow whisky and pub empire, which operated the Dundas Street premises for much of the 20th century.
