Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

Sleazy’s, as the city’s hipsters so fondly call it, is a Glasgow institution as far as music/arts venues go, and among those rarities with a 3am licence all week. The interior may feel like a well-worn leather jacket, dragged through the bowels of subculture, however Meathammer Ltd, who controls the kitchen, has refreshingly reclaimed the ‘Nice’. Chef Andy serves up an esoteric range of yummyness from gourmet burgers and sandwiches to amazeballs Mexican-style street food. Scottish beef and pork, free-range chicken and eggs mixed with a whole lotta heart, flavour, rocksalt and soul going into the prep. Handmade chargrilled burger buns pack in meat and veggie options such as hot-smoked salmon, grilled marinated halloumi and Moroccan spiced lamb. Under a shower of herbed sea-salt flakes, tripled-cooked chips in their jackets are perfectly crisp. Wash it all down with a cold pint of Budvar – or a Black Russian, if it takes your fancy.

  • Music on stereo: Metal/emo/rock/indie/electro/punk/soul

Reviews & features

Bar Crawls: Glasgow - The Sauchiehall Street Saunter

18 Nov 2011

Making the most of Glasgow city centre drinking

Both ‘pub crawl’ and ‘Sauchiehall Street’ can evoke images of large groups of revellers staggering from one ropey watering hole to the next, the night hurtling towards a climax of kebab sauce and lost cloakroom tickets. Well this route aims to redress…

Nice‘n’Sleazy’s

1 Oct 2008

A long-standing Glasgow institution, Sleazy’s can boast great food, great bands and the best jukebox this side of New York reckons David Pollock.

They don't mention in their website/ gig promos on the List that if you turn up alone you wont be allowed in. Charming - kick a guy when he's down! :-(
