YouTuber Says He Was Attacked Outside Glasgow Pub While Filming 'Rough' Pubs Tour

The viral clip underscores the risks creators face when filming in bars with a reputation for violence.

Overview

  • Danny, who runs the Honest Places channel, tried to film at Bells Bar in north Glasgow during a tour of so‑called rough pubs.
  • Footage shows three men outside the bar telling him not to film, with one grabbing at his camera and others lifting chairs in a threatening way.
  • After the video cuts, Danny says four men chased him, punched him, and took his phone and glasses, leaving him with a chipped tooth.
  • He says he returned to the pub where someone phoned the men and his phone and glasses were brought back, and his video has topped 200,000 views.
  • Local coverage cites no arrests or confirmed police investigation into this incident, while police say inquiries continue into a separate machete attack at Bells Bar last year.
