What a delightful place! Stopped in here for a pint on my last night in Scotland and was immediately taken in by the charm of it. It was festively decorated for Halloween and had an intimate and cozy feel.
Upon sitting down, we were greeted by the friendly bartender who made us feel right at home. Hearing our American accents she asked all about our time in Glasgow, gave us some tips on things to see during our next trip and really made us feel welcome.
It was a great little place to have a beer and I would definitely return next time I am in Glasgow. -

Only on a few occasions I've ended up in here it's a nice change from the norm to have a drink in a bar that's not been designed for the cool people and then to charge £5 for a pint of beer.
This is a bar for workers during the week where everyone likes In after their shift.
Not a big bar so doesn't take long to fill up.
Good selection in tap especially Deuchars and a well stocked gantry with quite a few good selection of malts available.
Live sky sports on the big screen & usual puggy. -

The Aragon is a bit of a rarity on Byres Road, in the sense it's a very traditional pub in an area dominated by quite trendy bars. I think this is what adds to its charm though.
The Aragon has never really changed in the 5 years I've visited, barring the front sign getting some new paint lately, but it is a great stop for a drink. Usually shows any sport that is on (another difficulty in this area) which is a bonus.
The drinks selection is fairly standard, though in recent times they've added West to the list, which is a nice option. It's the only place I really see Deuchars in as well in Glasgow, which is everywhere in Edinburgh.
The pub itself is quite on the small side, so can get pretty crowded when there's sport on or its the weekend. The decor isn't anything special, just a standard pub.
This is a good stop if you find yourself on Byres Road for a drink/the football is on, though for the same thing, I'd walk an extra 5/10 minutes to Partick, where I think other pubs to the same thing, but better. -

The Aragon is one of THOSE pubs. You know it's there, you pop in every now and then, and it never seems to change, bar an upgrade on the TV screen and maybe a different puggy.
The beer list is fairly predictable, but always contains Deuchars which is always a good thing for me, being a big fan of Deuchars.
The pub itself? As I said, it's never changed. The decor may have been cleaned up, but it's always been the same. It's just a pub. A nice wee pub in the middle of Byers Road, that's fairly nondescript and not that memorable.
It's nice to refresh your memory of it every now and then, but it's not on anyone's MUST SEE lists of pubs in this part of town, and given that it's fairly small, it can get crowded.
It does show pretty much every single sporting event that may be happening, and the staff seem to be fairly content with their lot in life, and quite cheery.
Me? For something similar to this, I'd head for The Lismore, but the Aragon is a decent one-and-done stop if you're in need. -

This is going in the book as a win for me... Having walked past this place for years, i decided finally to head in with some folk for a cheeky pint and boy am i glad i did.
Here be the check list:
Booze...aye, decent selection at very reasonable prices (given that its the west end)
Folk... nice selection of old dudes and students, very much a bloke heavy joint but maybe more due to ra fitba!
Decor... It's just a pub, nothing pretentious, nothing show off... just a pub.
I like it, like Christian said, it's actually pretty refreshing to still find a down to earth wee pub in this end o toon. Get in!
