"Fusing a passion for Portland (the rose) and Scotland (the thistle), the Rose & Thistle bears far less resemblance to the superficial imitation pubs that populate the states and more to the true spirit of an east Glasgow watering hole where regulars get together to watch footie, trade gripes about England, and knock back a dram. The large, multi-leveled patio has spots for sunny days and rainy ones, large groups and dates. The British beer list is one of the city’s best, the mixed drinks are strong, and the menu may not be entirely Scottish but does boast Portland’s rare Scotch egg." - Nathan Williams, Eater Staff
