18 September 2025 (14:30 - 15:30) 18 September 2025 (16:00 - 17:00) Step through the doors of The Laurieston and straight into the 1960s. Listed as a Category C building in 2010, this remarkable pub is celebrated for its well-preserved post-war design. From distinctive exterior tiling and retro signage to fully intact Formica fixtures and fittings, The Laurieston offers a rare and authentic glimpse into a bygone era of Glasgow’s social life. Historic Environment Scotland describes it as “an excellent example of 1960s public house design, of which very few examples are thought to remain today.” Its unique interior has also earned it a place on CAMRA’s prestigious Inventory of Pub Interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest. Located in the Laurieston area just south of the Clyde, the pub has long been a cornerstone of the local community and shares a deep connection with the history of the Gorbals. Join us on a guided tour to learn more about The Laurieston’s rich past, the stories behind the artwork on its walls, and some of the famous faces who’ve stopped in for a pint. And for those curious about the craft behind the bar, we’ll even uncover the secret to pouring the perfect pint of Guinness. This is more than a pub, it’s a Glasgow institution.
