Late last year, eyebrows were raised across the city when word got around that Strip Joint was to open in Finnieston.

“Strip Joint indeed,” went your middle-aged aunt as her partner (he’s not your real uncle, is he, he’s your aunt’s new partner) winked at you and did a surprisingly lifelike impression of the “winking face with stuck-out tongue” emoji behind her back.

“You won’t be going there, will you kiddo?” he joked, as if you’d want to go there purely because it’s called that. He’s a manager in a phone shop, isn’t he, your aunt’s new partner, and he just doesn’t get it. He’s tubby and bald and when he’s not wearing his lurid branded phone shop polo shirt and soft shell, he’s wearing a Superdry jacket and listening to World’s Greatest Driving Anthems compilation CDs in his Volvo estate. He's a nightmare.

Your aunt’s new partner isn’t really who the Strip Joint is aimed at, but he’s the type of guy who’ll go there after he closes up the shop on a Saturday “just to see what it’s like.”

Naughty, cheeky Strip Joint, with its suggestive name – a reference to its position at the tip of the “Finnieston strip” – bringing down the whole tone of the neighbourhood, which as we all know is officially “the hippest place in Britain”.

It isn’t as sophisticated as the other bars within walking distance, but then neither was Bannisters, the traditional pub that it replaced. The team behind Maggie May’s, Slouch and Howlin’ Wolf have turned that old-school boozer into a stripped-back, modern space that is cooler than its new name would suggest.

They sell Krusovice straight from the barrel, make their own hand-rolled pizzas and serve Barras-inspired cocktails. We went before the darts at the Hydro last week, your aunt’s new partner and I (he had a spare ticket and he begged me, what was I supposed to say?), and even though he thought there were going to be half-naked girls dancing around we still had quite a nice time.

Who should just give it up?

1. Flávio Brásh, 27, City Centre, “Donald Trump. Even I could do a better job than him.”

2. Martin Hotchkiss, 33, West End, “Theresa May. She absolutely does not care.”

3. Fraser Buchanan, 33, North Kelvinside, “Chick Young. He’s incredibly irritating.”

4. Tom Wells, 23, Aberdeen, “People who say ‘soccer’ instead of ‘football.’”

5. Angela McLaughlin, 44, Broomhill, “Ellie Goulding and her weird voice.”

6. Tom Rae, 25, Anniesland, “Hillary Clinton.”

7. Allan Sharkie, 28, Yorkhill, “Chris Martin – I just dislike Coldplay.”

Rachel Payne, 26, Finnieston, “People who pronounce their name differently to how it’s spelled – most annoying.”

8. Luke Simpson, 25, Glasgow
