The Wellington Bar in Paisley

Ah, The Wellington Bar – it's one of those unassuming pubs in Paisley that really grows on you once you step inside. I have to say, the staff are an absolute highlight; they're full of fun, super knowledgeable about all the drinks on offer, and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome, just like chatting with old mates. Whether it's grabbing a fresh pint or exploring their extensive wine list, the prices are spot on for keeping things inexpensive without skimping on quality. Plus, they've got these great little activities like chess club, book club, or even karaoke and darts nights, which add a nice touch if you're in the mood for something beyond just a quiet drink. On the flip side, though, it's cash only, so you'll need to sort that out before you go, as the nearest cash point is a bit of a trek. The place can feel a tad dark and cramped too, with not much space to spread out, and it doesn't always have a crowd, which might make it seem a smidge underwhelming on quieter evenings. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night if you fancy good value and friendly service, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea for a lively outing.
