Tennent's Bar on Byres Road, Glasgow is under threat of redevelopment by brewery Mitchell & Butler are planning to close it as a real pub and turn it into a restaurant /gastro pub. Sometimes all you want is a pub where everybody knows your name. This is increasingly difficult to find in Glasgow's West End as style bar after wine bar or gastro pub pops up. Thank god then, for Tennents. Okay, maybe not everybody in Tennents knows your name, but you will quickly feel at home in Byres Road's only proper "local pub" where the friendly staff and manager Alison pour pints efficiently with a smile. Whether you want to watch the football on the pub's many television screens or just curl up in the almost as plentiful snug little corners with a newspaper, Tennents offers everything, including an extensive real ale menu and top notch pub grub, including the best steak pie in Glasgow. This is now under serious threat, there will be real pubs left on Byres Road.
We need to hit the one hundred signature mark to ensure our petition carries weight during the upcoming meeting with local planning representatives. Please direct your contacts to this page so we can finalize our submission list.

I live and work in London now but on my frequent visits back home, this was always my first port of call.

I’m from Glasgow but I live in England. I come up regularly for the football and also meeting my brothers for a “pint”. We always meet in Tennents-the best and possibly only “real” pub in Byres Road area. It will be very sad if they alter the character of this place.

This bar is such an institution and is the soul of the west end. If this is given a modernisation, that rich history will be lost forever. The Philarmonic in Liverpool has just been granted listed status. Please don’t let this wonderful pub be homogenised.

Please reconsider this decision. This is one of the few "real" pubs left in the West End. No piped music, no jangle of gaming machines and a friendly, inclusive atmosphere for everyone no matter what their age. MCS.
