Glasgow's answer to the Circle Line Pub Crawl: visit a pub near each station on the Glasgow Subway, affectionately known as "The Clockwork Orange". This challenge involves 15 stations on the world's third-oldest underground railway system, making it a legendary Scottish tradition that inspired Chicken Rush.
The Glasgow Subway is a unique circular loop system with two lines (Inner and Outer) that run in opposite directions. The system is known as "The Clockwork Orange" due to its distinctive orange trains and branding. The route forms a complete loop through Glasgow, making it perfect for a pub crawl challenge.
The challenge is to visit all 15 stations in one day, stopping at a pub near each station. Unlike London's Circle Line, the Glasgow Subway is more compact, making it slightly more achievable but no less legendary.
To host your own Clockwork Orange pub crawl:
Here's the complete Clockwork Orange route with suggested pubs at each station:
Note: Pub availability and names may change over time. Always verify current information before your crawl.
Start Early: Begin around 11am-12pm to ensure ample time for all 15 stations.
Pace Yourself: Opt for half-pints or alternate with non-alcoholic beverages to maintain stamina.
Stay Hydrated: Drink water regularly and consider having a substantial meal before starting.
Plan Your Route: Familiarize yourself with the pub locations and Subway schedule between stops.
Safety First: Always drink responsibly and be aware of your limits.
While The Clockwork Orange is legendary, Chicken Rush takes the concept further with GPS tracking, live maps, competitive gameplay, and explosive weapons.
