Ad Lib
111 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
All Bar One
62–72 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5TS
With floor-to-ceiling windows on the corner of St Vincent and West Nile streets, All Bar One is well placed to watch the world go by over a drink or a bite. Such is its bustling nature, however, it seems as if few people have time to linger at its…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
The Arches has long held a reputation for being one of the coolest venues in the city. Its club nights are legendary, its music programme adventurous, its theatre daring and eclectic. Various events and festivals throughout the year, such as Arches…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
When the smart restaurant within the G1 Group's Arta complex of bars and opened its doors in 2000, the menu was largely Spanish and in keeping with the design of the building (although it's a former cheese market, the interior has been modelled on a…
Babbity Bowster
16–18 Blackfriars Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PE
The Babbity Bowster, with its first-floor Scottische French-influenced restaurant (evenings only) and small hotel, is a landmark in the Merchant City in multiple ways. Its premises occupy a historic building designed by the Adam brothers in the 1790s on…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
This time-honoured Glasgow outpost is tucked away from the main streets but easily found opposite the Charing Cross train station entrance. For a classic bar-brasserie, the place is pretty much perfect – candles flicker on wooden tables, mirrors adorn…
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UR
Bacchus, named after the Roman god of wine, is situated in a bit of a bar void between Glasgow's centre and the Merchant City. That's maybe why it draws a mixed crowd, with post-work drinkers midweek giving way to pre-clubbers at weekends, when DJs are…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
Housed in an impressively spacious former bank building, this pub and restaurant shows that catering for a wide range of tastes – and keeping standards reasonably high – is possible. Vast brown sofas, long wooden tables and a stained glass dome in the…
Bar Bola
144 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HB
Gibson Street and the northern, leafy fringes of Kelvingrove Park are on the doorstep of Bar Bola, a quirky venue that straddles the divide between student hangout and local style bar. Despite its idiosyncrasy, this ever-popular destination is often…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Bar Kandi
185 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2UL
Having revived its reputation as a stylish weekend destination (after a change of hands and name a while back), Bar Kandi has also developed a degree of humility since its Candy Bar days: it rarely feels like somewhere reserved only for the beautiful…
Bar MC
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
This basement venue in the swish ABode Hotel was formerly known as Michael Caines Café Bar. It was rebranded in October 2007, but not too much has changed: Bar MC incorporates both a family-friendly restaurant (where under fives eat free) and a…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
The refurbished Bar 91 has retained its aloof smartness and lack of pretention, with new chunky tables, dark red and oyster walls and a refitted bar stocking beers by West Brewing Company. Light and airy, it has a steady office lunchtime trade that…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
It may feel at first like a standard city-centre style bar with its muted lighting, studiously minimalist décor and languorous background beats, but Bar Soba's food is more than an afterthought to complement the range of fancy bottled beers. The kitchen…
Bar 10
10 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
It now shares owners with nearby pub The Lab, and the popularity of Bar 10 shows no sign of abating. While the chrome-trimmed, mirror-clad interior is starting to look a little dated, its good selection of booze and freshly made pub classics means…
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
The flexible tapas format is ideal for Barça's location on the top floor of Princes Square, where a quick, restorative bite and a glass of decent wine can fit into the most demanding shopping or social schedule. Barça delivers the goods with excellent…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
The River Kelvin is admittedly no Mediterranean. But as far as pleasant waterside spots for dining in Glasgow go, the Big Blue has one of the best of the bunch. It's a boon, especially on those warm, sunny days when tables and chairs are set out the…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
Occupying a basement near Kelvingrove Park, this Alpine-themed bar is the closest Glasgow gets to après-ski. Black leather booths nestle under wooden panels depicting snow scenes, while antlers decorate the walls. Students and office workers snap up…
Blackfriars
36 Bell Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LG
Scotland
One of the more traditional pubs in the Merchant City, Blackfriars has an exceptionally broad appeal. With five cask ales among 20 beers on tap, plus more than 40 international brews in bottles, it's a popular destination for an after-work pint. The…
Bloc+
117 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
Two-for-one offers on pizzas and burgers, 20% reductions with matriculation cards, and £8.50 bottles of the wine of the month – not always available – make Bloc+ a student magnet. Beanies, indie-kid hair and bright boho threads are de rigueur, and…
Booly Mardy's
28 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
Just off the top end of Byres Road, Booly Mardy's is often overlooked in favour of grander surrounding destinations such as Òran Mór and Gong. Yet it's still popular for its extensive cocktail list – including eight different takes on the drink its name…
The Boswell
27 Mansionhouse Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3DN
Called a country club, but in fact nestled among some of the grander sandstone tenements and private mansions of Glasgow's Southside, the Boswell Hotel offers a traditional local pub with oak panelling and cosy snugs, and also a modern bistro. The menu…
Brel
39–43 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
The interiors of this converted stable and coach house maintain their rustic charms, particularly with the original white glazed brick walls and heavy wooden doors. Many who come here for a bite enjoy eating in the small space with butcher paper-covered…
Brutti Ma Buoni
Brunswick Hotel, 106 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1TF
Brutti Ma Buoni (which means 'ugly but good' in Italian) is the stylish café/bar belonging to the Brunswick Hotel. Its deep, narrow space is basic, if modern in design, with small stainless steel tables as well as a queue of black leather stools that…
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Four years after opening in the West End, Budda still offers something of an ethnic cocoon. Gold statues line the bar, Balinese lanterns hang from rich orange walls and twisted wooden chairs create a sense of far-eastern intimacy overlooking the cobbles…
Bunker
193–199 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HU
From lunchtime until late into the night, Bunker provides a stylish refuge for students and young office workers. Pale wood floors and light walls make this Bath Street basement even more spacious than it seems, while curved leather seating and lines of…
The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
Capitol
468 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LN
Capitol is a bar that markets itself as the epicentre of lad and ladette culture, boasting endless sport on 11 televisions and a big screen, regular DJ sessions, quizzes and live music events five nights out of seven. (There are even private karaoke…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
The almost anonymous exterior and dimly lit, stylish interior makes Chinaski's a secret and sophisticated haven from the city rush, epitomised by the sunken M8 across the road. Even if you have never heard of Henry Chinaski, the relaxed approach of bar…
Citation
40 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HD
Ambitious and oddly charming, Citation is a new venture that aims at an array of targets and generally hits the most important one – satisfying food. Housed in Glasgow's former Sheriff Court building, it is an imposing place. The bar covers a large…
Coopers
499 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
Beneath the ornate ceilings and chandeliers in this rather grand establishment hang four large corner screens that regularly show football. But Coopers caters for a wide spectrum of customers: young beer drinkers and the occasional tea-sipping pensioner…
Corinthian/Lite Bar
191 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
As we went to press with the 15th edition edition of The List Eating & Drinking Guide, this G1 Group-run landmark was preparing for another rejigging (with the six-week works due to commence in spring 2008). But as the building is listed, its owners can…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Nestled in the eaves of one wing of an old church that also houses a theatre and bar is Cottier's restaurant. Decorated in gold and blue and lit with fairy lights, the dining room can feel like one of Glasgow's more romantic settings. The food is…
The Counting House
2 St Vincent Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2DH
This grandiose building in the very heart of the city centre is vast and ornate, even by JD Wetherspoon standards. What was once a Bank of Scotland now feels like the living room of a stately home. An impressive domed ceiling rises above the central…
Darcy's
The Courtyard, Princes Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Nestling among a plethora of bars, restaurants and luxury outlets in Princes Square, Darcy's occupies a quiet corner away from the hoards of frantic shoppers. Perhaps in a concerted effort to de-stress those seeking refuge from the bustling crowds, the…
Drawing Room
1055 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UD
With the neo-gothic Glasgow University tower and the formidable Kelvingrove Museum dominating the horizon outside, Drawing Room boasts one of the most glorious views for a West End bar. Window seating has been maximised so that punters can take in the…
Driftwood
2–4 St Georges Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6UJ
Driftwood has been a fixture of Charing Cross for a few years now, offering cheap and cheerful food to hungry students and weary shoppers. The dining area is decked out in the 'traditional' Mexican terracotta and yellow, though it's actually barely…
The Drum & Monkey
93-95 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5TL
Part of the Mitchells & Butlers group of pubs and bars, this bustling city centre venture enjoys a prominent position where St Vincent and Renfield streets meet. Popular during weekdays with workers from nearby offices, at weekends with shoppers, and…
Europa
8–10 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1DR
There are two big selling points for this barnlike bar: its proximity to Queen Street Station and George Square and its many TV screens showing football, which draw large crowds for big games. There's a giant one indoors, mini-screens above the booths…
54 Below
1102-1106 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7RX
The grey façade and dark, tinted windows of this corner bar don't convey the warmest of welcomes, even if they do echo its forbidding name (said to be the temperature at which vodka freezes). Thankfully, it's not a supercool affair inside. The leather…
Filling Station
46 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HG
The Filling Station undoubtedly benefits from its location on a busy stretch of Renfield Street – so much so that it is often bustling, right through the week. Being a US-themed restaurant, there are naturally the obligatory 'motel', 'gas station' and…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Openly positioned on a corner of Argyle Street in an area now filled with dining choices, Firebird celebrates it tenth year in 2008 – still winning new customers with its mix of laid-back ambience, good, affordable food and friendly staff. Smokers and…
Frankenstein Pub
92 West George Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1PJ
Located in a former bank, this large city centre bar is decorated to look something like Dr Frankenstein's laboratory, complete with a 10-foot monster. Booths, clustered round the central bar area, come with their own plasma TVs. Dining is also…
The Goat
1287 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Cosy Chesterfield sofas, free wi-fi and widescreen TVs make The Goat a popular sitting room for locals and Kelvingrove visitors who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, a good selection of drinks and hearty meals. The food, usually served on the mezzanine…
The Granary
10–16 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3NH
Laid-back, traditional and situated in the heart of Shawlands, it's easy to see why many nearby residents treat The Granary as their local. The sandstone exterior gives way to a spacious, more modern room with flocked wallpaper, gilt mirrors, a…
The Hermitage
177 Kirkintilloch Road, Bishopbriggs,
Glasgow,
G64 2LS
The G1 Group has been a major player in the development of Glasgow's city centre style bar scene. So this rather modest local is a departure from the norm for the empire, nestled as it is in Bishopbriggs (amid territory generally dominated by the JD…
Home
80 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
The drinks selection at Home gives away its almost exclusive focus on the student crowd from nearby Strathclyde University: a variety of value shots and cocktails make this cavernous venue ideal for clubbers fuelling up before a night out. The large…
Ivory Bar & Restaurant
2–4 Camphill Avenue,
Glasgow,
G41 3AY
The creamy walls of this restaurant, bar and hotel distinguish it from the tenements surrounding Queen's Park. The conservatory dining room has unobstructed views of the park, while the space at the rear offers glimpses into the kitchen. Timber floors…
Ivy
157–159 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DA
A hundred yards from the magnificent Mitchell Library, fringed with outdoor tables (albeit with views of the M8) and a bright green sign, Ivy has been a popular local hangout since opening in 2006. Offering DJs at the weekend, a great selection of beers…
