The Primary is a weird one - it attracts a mixed bag of clientele, from older genetlemen, to students and business types. A great venue to watch the football, and a huge beer garden helps to draw in the punters. The food is just above wetherspoons standards, and the pool table is terribly expensive at £1.50 a game, but the beer is pretty good and they have a fantastic selection of drinks available. Food wise be careful...stay away from the baked potatoes as they can be hard, but generally its acceptable grub to fill that beer belly!]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:44:39 +0000 /review/uk/glasgow/bar-pub/1p01x8t/the-primary/1u0ka9212009652 cjbiffy22 55.872374212417 -4.2790982811015 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/glasgow/bar-pub/1p01x8t/the-primary/1e3ch8

I spent quite a lot of my time was spent in this pub in the last year as I adjusted to life at Glasgow University. It is a very open and friendly pub with a good selection of drink as well as food. There are a few pool tables and generally everyone is in high spirits. A couple of criticisms that I would have is that the prices tend to be a bit more expensive that some of the other pubs in the area, but not by much. Also the music can be a little loud at times. However, my overall experience is definately a positive one and I would recommend it to anyone.]]> Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:45:40 +0000 /review/uk/glasgow/bar-pub/1p01x8t/the-primary/1e3ch8607016654 stewart85 55.872374212417 -4.2790982811015 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/glasgow/bar-pub/1p01x8t/the-primary/1i5168

Former primary school converted into a reasonable real ale pub, and originally called The Hogshead, but now named after its original incarnation.

Bizarrely one of my mates went to school here and I believe it's a bit of a mind-fuck to be drinking in the old assembly hall!

One hot and sunny day several years ago, a crowd of us from a choir went in one Thursday evening for a drink after rehearsing nearby. Bearing in mind the fact that it was specifically a Real Ale pub and usually had a selection of half a dozen or so from which to choose, the conversation with the barmaid went along the lines of:

What'll you have?
6 pints of IPA please
We've run out
OK, Caledonian 80/- then
Sorry, we've none left
Golden Promise?
Afraid not
Landlord?
Sorry, no
OK, what real ale do you have then?
None actually, we've run out of them all!
OK, we'll have 6 pints of lager then
Sorry, we've run out of lager ........

After that exchange, somewhat reminiscent of Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch, for some reason we stopped going there for a while!

But I've started going again and although it gets very studenty the later it gets, early evenings are fine. And they stop serving food about 8pm.

It's got a big, well, playground really, outside with tables and a recently constructed 64 seater glass-roof-covered outdoor smoking annexe (there is no smoking in any Scottish pubs these days - hurrah!)]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2007 17:31:22 +0000 /review/uk/glasgow/bar-pub/1p01x8t/the-primary/1i5168401264143 Layclerk 55.872374212417 -4.2790982811015
