Glasgow by night . In the intimate atmosphere of the Spanish Lounge of a popular Glasgow city restaurant this couple pause for an after-dinner drink and cigarette before joining the theatre bound throng . Although the city boasts 1,096 public houses few of them offer the comforts of this type of lounge . The vast majority , even without seating accomodation , are men only , spit-and-sawdust establishments where, under local regulations , any activity other than drinking is strictly barred . There are too few places like this in Glasgow where women can go with their menfolk for a drink and a chat . 1949
