Comment	So I'd plan your days around zones. One day walk yourself down the bottom of Byres Rd and take a left and start walking towards Kelvingrove which is the big ass Harry Potter type building. Get yourself in for a walkabout (entry by donation if you can afford it) and enjoy the organ recital at 1pm. Then for lunch head back to the bottom of Byres to Dumpling Monkey for some pot stickers - then personally I'd go to the pub for a few hours, Brew Dog (though the founders are a bit trash it's not the bar staffs fault) is opposite Kelvingrove and you can stand at the bar and chat to others that are into it while you wait for a table. It's a craft beer bar and the staff know their stuff. Although maybe swing past Tantrum Donuts just the street behind for an artisanal donut before settling in at the pub for a bit. Then Mother India for dinner. Glasgow is especially famous for curries and Mother India is one of the best although I personally prefer Ashoka, but Mother India is just beside BrewDog. Another zone for a day is the top of Byres Rd, start for brunch at Hillhead Book Club, then over the road for a walk about the Botanics and the Kelvin Way which will lead you all the way down to... Another bar. This one is called Inn Deep and is definitely worth looking at for its vaulted arches. Then keep following the walk and enjoy Kelvingrove Park (have a look from Park Circus). Walk back up to Inn Deep and onto Great Western Road and get a chippie from Philadelphia. Then walk up the road back to Byres Rd and end your day at Oran Mor. OR keep walking to Cottiers in Hyndland and have your dinner there and then double back to Oran Mor - since that's open til 3am (but beware it's harder to get in after midnight)
