Glasgow. Built in 1924 by Andrew Balfour, an American style architect, it was originally a bank building. The pub's name is said to come from travelling showmen who would tour the country with monkeys that played drums. I was named CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2011 and is a regular feature in the Good Beer Guide. The spacious interior features a beautiful key shaped bar surrounded by ornate corniced ceilings, wood paneling, and marble columns. Of course after grabbing a pint of Stewart's 80/- Classic Scottish Heavy (Edinburgh) I headed back to the cozy Singerie's Snug (you know how I love a snug!). And the night before we left Glasgow, Bethany and I enjoyed a couple of delicious Islay single malts back there.
