Comment	I was born in Linthouse and lived there for 20 years so can probably give you a decent insight. It used to be quite scummy, bar fights every few weeks and there was once a guy who got stabbed by a samuri sword on the clyde bridge. But the last 5-10 years? Its been absolutely fine. Dont get me wrong, you may still bump in to the occasional ned now and then, but literally every place in Glasgow, probably even Scotland will have that. There was a pub across the road from my parents place called fairfield bar where a guy got his hand machete off and since that happened, ive never heard a peep from the place and it seems like they have a good karoke night on Friday / Saturday. It's not amazing for pubs / restaurants honestly, id go through the tunnel through to partick or get a bus in to town if you want a proper pint and some music but there is the Amethyst which does decent food and live music occasionally. Apart from that, the only other pubs I can really think of are Old Govan Arms, the Kraken and Brechins which are quite rough and the old govan arms is a celtic pub, so depends what you're in to. The bridge from Partick to Govan will be massive for the econemy of both places. All in all, id say yea its a decent place to live and quite cheap just now. Theres loads of buses and the subway link to get you in to town. It was also about £13 home in a taxi last time I took one from the town to my folks in Linthouse.
