Had a terrible dinner at the old school house on woodlands road before exiting as quick as possible stopped off at the Arlington with 8 mates and had a few beers on route to city centre.The barman on duty was courteous and very efficient and despite being quite busy had time for a wee blether and a smile....combination of beers and a few half's with mixtures ....19 pounds .....excellent value and really good beer.The is obviously a well liked local and other customers very chatty.Some who were leaving retrieved their bicycle from the toilet corridor.....great ambience and very warming....highly recommended for those who like a traditional proper pub.5.minute walk from the centre of Glasgow and 5 minutes from the stand comedy club on Woodlands road.....a must for pre comedy drinks.........it for those looking for a decent local...very refreshing and good feel t

The Arlington is a boisterous, local pub on Woodlands. Great for a pint or as a jumping off point on the way into town. It's usually busy in the evening and jammed at the weekend. Cleaner pint than West on the Corner the time I went (though I've only been there once so far).

Great for an authentic drink. Don't expect anything fancy - it's rough and ready. Fast, cheery service and a good selection of beers deal the deal.

The Arlington has gone through recent renovations which can often take away the soul of a bar. Thankfully this did not happen here.

The staff and general clientele are intelligent and clued into their music. You can approach a random person or table and strike up a conversation without the fear of having an odd look being thrown your way (as happens in a number of bars in Glasgow).

You can often find rare talent at the music nights and there are also mini-festivals which happen often. Thisn is great for those who have been in Glasgow for a while or if you are just visiting.
