Jinty McGuinty's is a renowned Irish pub nestled in the heart of Glasgow's West End on Ashton Lane and is getting set to celebrate 35 years this summer.
The pub was established in 1991 by Jinty Lynch and her husband John, and quickly became a beloved fixture in the city's vibrant hospitality scene. It was one of the pioneering establishments that transformed Ashton Lane from a quiet alley into a bustling hub of nightlife as we know it today.
