The Subway runs a circle and the crawl runs with it, a pint at every stop. The Laurieston's door sits directly opposite Bridge Street station, where you drink cask Jarl and eat a Scotch pie out of the heated glass case on the bar. The Curlers Rest is the first pint off the train at Hillhead, in two 18th-century cottages knocked into one room over two floors. The Belle, a few minutes up from Kelvinbridge, keeps a coal fire and a house chess set and takes your dog. Lismore at Partick holds a 300 bottle gantry and two changing cask lines. I have no pub worth getting off for on the southern arc, so Cessnock, Ibrox and Govan are your own call.
The sub-crawl.
