One of Glasgow's hidden treasures, it also has the longest bar in UK.

The next time your your in town and nothing to do, go into the Horse Shoe for a drink and see how many horse shoe's you can find in the bar alone. I don't think anyone as stayed sober long enough to count them.

This etched stained glass panel was taken from the Union Bar on Union Street when John Y Whyte was proprietor.

In 1971 the latest in the Tennent Caledonian Breweries chain of public houses to be brought up-to-date was the famous Horse Shoe Bar, Drury Street, Glasgow, where, however, the remodelling had been concentrated on the dinning room upstairs. The Bar downstairs was also redecorated, but its existing characteristics were to be retained. The manager of the Horse Shoe Bar was Mr James Rowan.
