About Glasgow Subcrawl
The Glasgow Subcrawl is one of the city’s best-known days out: 15 subway stops, 15 pubs and one loop of the Clockwork Orange. This app is your guide to it, with a recommended pub for each station, a plan for your group and a record of how the day went.
It works for locals, visitors and students alike. Each stop opens up a different part of Glasgow, from the lanes of Hillhead to the riverside at Cessnock, all from the third-oldest underground railway in the world.
Glasgow Subcrawl is for adults aged 18 and over. Pace yourself, have a soft drink along the way and look after each other.
