"Forget any sort of hipster pretension: Bennet's has kept its Victorian character since it first opened in 1839, making it a wonderful "old man bar" in the rapidly developing Tollcross. It’s full of antique charm, thanks to gorgeous stained glass windows and old maps under the glass tabletops, but a little modernity has crept in—gorgeous red banquettes, for example—making it a welcoming place for any age. Keep an eye out for the snug, Victorian-era space once frequented by those who didn't want to be seen in a public bar—mostly women, priests, or policemen. You can relive those bygone days by ordering your drink through the hatch." - Krystin Arneson
