Traditional Scottish pub in the heart of Finneston. Excellent selection of whiskies and very knowledgeable staff. Great atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming. Really relaxed vibe. Lovely way to spend a Saturday night.

Sitting listening to Celtic session music with a Talisker in hand was a must do on my list. Ben Nevis was did not disappoint. Friendly people at the bar and in the bar underscored the Glasgow experience. They don't have music every night so check the calendar. It is cozy, so enjoy the chance to chat with people you share some table space with.

This establishment is a happening pub with a large selection of whisky. It was packed and likely. Musicians took up the corner tables and played traditional music. We wish we could have stayed longer. There are a lot of West End great restaurants nearby.

I wrote this post after a long break due to COVID abrupt halt that had me change workplace and occupation, and had me stopped travelling. I am also somewhat anxious to put this place on high scores as I do not wish to spoil the excellent vibe it emanates through the somewhat sleepy neighborhood it resides in. I do owe the owners of the Ben Nevis whiskey specialized pub the gratitude for giving me, if only for an hour, such a warm welcome, even as the accidental tourist I was when randomly crossing the street and opening their door. The Ben Nevis has a “Wow!” Effect on people coming through the door, but in the most casual, calm and nice way possible. You simple dive into the live music, the chatter of the pub-dwellers, the smiles across the room and from the people over the counter helping to decide on the most suitable single malt you look for, a good pint and jug of spring water to go along, and the overall joy one’s feeling when sitting inside total strangers and conversation just flow, which in my opinion is the true essence and justification for any pub- breaking barriers is the raison d’etre for any pub, and Ben Nevis is in full success of accomplishing this mission, if there was a score higher than 100, I guess it would go to this pub. Use it wisely, love it and appreciate it and keep it to yourselves. A true Jem in Glasgow.

Visited Recently after a Visit to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum for a pint or two. A Great local Pub with Friendly Bar Staff and friendly Locals. They say People Make Glasgow and The Ben Nevis is an Example of this. Whenever I travel abroad it’s always nice to meet the locals and have a chat about the Places I’m Visiting and the locals got me hooked on some very good Scotch Whisky’s that I wasn’t aware of. Thank you again for a wonderful visit and I can’t wait to visit again on my next trip to Glasgow.
