Bars in Glasgow city centre

[Castlecould]

Hi
I'm meeting up with some friends in Glasgow city centre this Saturday night and was wondering if anyone could recommend any pubs/bars as none of us know the city that well. We're looking for somewhere that's not too pre-club if you know what I mean? Somewhere we'll still be able to sit and have a conversation without shouting over music ( yes I know how old I sound) TIA

Horseshoe Bar

17-19 Drury Street, Glasgow

Society

Drum & Monkey

Waxy O Connors

Or go to the old fruit market near Merchant City, many, many bars under one roof and great atmosphere

There's some nice bars in Princes Swuare e.g. October (at the top)

Strata.

I went last weekend.

Me and my friends normally go to 29 or One Up.

Reasonable for food/drink and are usually filled with people from 25years+ rather than 17/18 year olds.
