Waxy O’Connor’s, Glasgow
Celebrate St Patrick’s Day with their Beef and Guinness Pie, a hearty classic dish topped with colcannon and honey mustard roasted carrots. What sets this place apart is its intricate woodwork and multi-level layout, creating a cosy, maze-like setting that feels like a journey through Irish folklore!

Perhaps the best-known and largest Irish pub in the city, Biddy’s has a prime spot in the Grassmarket. Every night they have live music and tourists and students flock to the bar, which has direct access to the Grassmarket Hotel. Adjacent to the main bar is the Wee Pub, Scotland’s smallest bar. Their menu features homeland classics, such as Cumberland sausage roll with Jameson whiskey pear chutney, Guinness rarebit, and lamb stew with homemade soda farl.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
