This is for good reason, as it's claimed to be the longest continuous bar in the UK , at an iconic 104 feet and three inches long.

Deoch An Dorus, Partick Partick used to be the final stop for the 'drovers' who came from all over the Highlands to the Glasgow cattle markets, and a Deoch an Dorus, which is a Gaelic phrase meaning a drink at the door, or traditionally a drink given to a guest by a host before they leave . Crystal Palace, city centre The iconic building this famous bar is housed in was designed in the 1850s and was inspired by the Crystal Palace, which was the centrepiece of the 1851 Great Exhibition in London.
