Hillhead Bookclub
17 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
With a table tennis area, drinks served in gramophones, DJs playing eclectic funk and soul, and a menu littered with puns and witty comments, it is easy to see why Hillhead Bookclub has a burgeoning reputation as the best quirky hang-out in the West…
I Love Candy
261 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TL
Sugar-sweet pink and white 'candy boutique' cashing in on the burgeoning trend for retro sweeties. Glass jars of soor plooms and forgotten classics like Wham Bars and Spanish Golds are supplied to the store by a mysterious local sugarsmith they refer…
A1 Comics
35 Parnie Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RJ
Taking in both the Marvel and DC universes, and everything else in between, this home-grown den of geekery is staffed by genuinely knowledgable comic book guys. And their website's kinda fun, too.
Fifi and Ally
51–52 Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Tucked away from the frantic buzz of Buchanan Street on the top floor of Princes Square is this fabulous café that serves seriously good food. The French-inspired black and white chic interior is open, airy, yet cosy and comfortable. For lunch there…
LOVEmusic
34 Dundas Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2AQ
Near-legendary record shop specialising in new and used indie and alternative vinyl and CDs. An essential part of the Glasgow muso experience, with a great selection of local acts. They specialise in indie, rock, punk and americana, but are good for…
Made With Love at eatiBOUTIQUIE
231 Berkeley Street, Finnieston,
Glasgow,
G3 7HH
A tea and cake shop upfront, and in the back, a tiny store specialising in locally made jewellery and gifts, plus a small selection of vintage bags, shoes and clothes.
Missing Records
247 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
Loved and revered in Glasgow, the Missing enterprise used to be a bit more of a chain, but everything's now concentrated on this one hub near the Arches (with a wee sister out in Paisley). Still got a brilliant selection of secondhand music and films…
Galletly & Tubbs
431 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JA
Interiors, furniture, wall-hangings, vegan handbags, candles and art deco birthday cards. Oh, and jewellery, Christmas decorations, ceramics, soft furnishings and the occasional ashtray shaped like Chairman Mao's head. The fully comprehensive range of…
We Love To Boogie
85 St Georges Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
Brilliant little vintage store tucked away just off the Charing Cross intersection, bringing a Brooklyn vibe to an otherwise nondescript motorway-edged street. Proximity to the bleeding-edge hipsters of the nearby Art School has led to a particularly…
Brazen Studios
58 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Really something rather special, this one. The high-concept interiors of this Merchant City jewellery showroom and design studio don't even get close to the imagination of the in-house designers. Creating one-offs and hip, edgy bespoke pieces, with a…
Boudiche
203 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DQ
Glamorous, luxurious, and sexy. That's just the interior decor in this high-chic lingerie boutique, which has positioned itself amid the glossy designer shops of Glasgow's Merchant City and Edinburgh's New Town and become a must-stop in both locations.
Elements
5–21 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Brightly coloured, crammed full of gifts, cards, candles and cutesy, sparkly, proddable 'stuff', Elements is the sort of store that sums up the Cresswell Lane shopping development. Designed for yummy mummies with a sense of humour. Prices range from…
Floral Haven
2 Kildrostan Street,
Glasgow,
G41 4LU
Unique, design-led and thoroughly creative South Side florist prone to creating unusual arrangements.
K1 Yarns Knitting Boutique
136 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow,
G20 8NY
Knitters' paradise! Every possible colour and texture of yarn you can imagine, plus patterns, weekly classes, and an informal area for sitting and, well, knitting.
Monorail
12 Kings Court, King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Don't mistake the slender couple of shelves in the back room of vegan venue Mono for a lightweight enterprise. Owner and muso Stephen Pastel has been setting Glasgow's hipster pulse from here for years.
Play It Again* Records
47 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Play it Again* Records are pretty keen on avoiding the corporate trappings of logos, mottos and mantras (but insist on keeping the asterisk). They sell and buy old records, CDs & DVDs that are in decent condition and fairly priced. Nothing will…
Voltaire & Rousseau
12–14 Otago Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8PB
A silent, dusty, temple to the pleasures of reading, Voltaire and Rousseau represents second hand book-shopping in its most perfect form. Piles upon piles upon piles of books, arranged in only the vaguest semblance of order, spill out from the shelves…
AG'S Clothes and Accessories
37 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Fitting well - somehow - into Ruthven Lane's bustling mix of vintage clutter, this pretty, streamlined little shop focuses on independent design targeted at young, fashion concious women who don't like to follow the herd. And no, that's not a…
Butterfly Kisses
8 Skirving Street, Shawlands,
Glasgow,
G41 3AA
Design enthusiasts, take note: it's worth the trip out to the South Side (if you don't already live there) just to check out this sweetly-named boutique's innovative, free-floating, custom-designed interior. Loads of lovely labels (including exclusive…
Focus
220 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8HA
Skate and street wear for the boys, with labels like Stussy and Nike, Skullcandy headphones and Nixon watches; also stocks an excellent range of DVDs and is, like, the only place to go to get a new deck for your wheels. Right?
The Glasgow School of Art Shop
11 Dalhousie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RQ
Some of the best artisans, makers, crafters and designers in Scottish fashion have come up through this venerable introduction, and it's now helping them pay back their student loans, with a great shop full of homeware and accessories.
Honey Bea's House
Cresswell Lane Glasgow,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Little sister to Kelvinbridge institution Felix and Oscar, and an essential stop for trendy WEndies hunting Cath Kidston chintz or Orla Kiely handbags. They also do nice lines in tongue-in-cheek pressies, Alessi kitchenware, and non-cutesy kids…
The Life Craft
691 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8RU
