Malones Irish Bar.
As strange as it seems there is actually a pub on the list!
What am I saying, it's Glasgow so of course there's gonna be a pub on the list and that pub is Malones Irish Bar on Sauchiehall Lane.
Unaccustomed as I am to partaking in ale I summoned up all my courage and jumped in, grabbing the nearest member of staff (luckily he had a beard) and began my excited questioning.
The one constant that came thru' throughout the day was the amount of staff that had not only undergone Autism Awareness training but had seemed to enjoy it (and find it useful), the staff member went on to explain that they would be offering a quiet space in the upstairs bar every week from Monday 2nd April on the following days and times:
Monday - 12pm - 3pm
Tuesday - 12pm - 3pm
Wednesday - 12pm - 3pm
Yup....actual proper times, not 9 in the morning.
And busy ones too.
Malones have thought this thru.
Add to that the bar mentions Autistic adults in it's advertising which is a demographic usually missed when it comes to Autism awareness events.
Plus the flyer was blue.
Good skills all round.
And whilst obviously a bar known for live music and loud football games can't be expected to turn the sound down on a whim, it's good to know that even if you're just out for a pint that there's somewhere that, if you should ever need it, that the staff are at least a little Autism aware.
More adult venues next year please.

When I went to Barcelona there was a very similar Irish: Wild Rover Barcelona
