Waxy O'Connor's
44 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1DH
The first thing you notice on entering Waxy O’Connor's is the sheer size of it. The different rooms and levels make it possible to find a cosy nook even when the pub is busy. Added to this, the wood interior gives a reassuringly traditional feel for an…
The Corinthian Club
191 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
The brasserie and bar area in the Corinthian must be one of the most beautiful rooms in Scotland. If you want to impress then this dramatic central hall of the former High Court is certainly the place to come. The food can’t really compete with such…
Rab Ha's
83 Hutcheson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SH
Rab Ha’s is a well-loved and fairly busy Merchant City pub (and small hotel), and over the past 20 years or so its basement restaurant has meandered up and down market, with varying critical and commercial success. Currently it feels like an…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Regularly filled with an eclectic mix of professionals, students and families, Bar 91’s welcoming vibe and contemporary interior see it busy all day. In addition to the usual array of mainstream lagers, there are beers from the nearby West Brewery…
Metropolitan
Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
Given the weather, Metropolitan’s indoor terrace overlooking Merchant Square is the safest way to dine al fresco in Glasgow. It’s a very pleasant place to be, with the sandstone walls, linen napkins and twinkling fairy lights adding atmosphere to the…
Brutti Ma Buoni
Brunswick Hotel, 106 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1TF
The Brunswick Hotel's café-bar has long been a popular spot for Merchant City hipsters, with its stylish Italian design and cool, pre-club vibe. The menu is large and snacky and takes a while to read, with various tapas plates, bruschetta, burgers and…
The Libertine
45–47 Bell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NX
A competition saw this bar named after the decadent 17th-century poet, the 2nd Earl of Rochester, but here’s nothing debauched about this Libertine, which neatly balances daytime bistro and night-time bar. Tall windows line both aspects, allowing diners…
Vroni's Wine & Champagne Bar
47 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2PT
An institution for 30 to 40-somethings since 1995, dark wood and deep green leather seating dominate the bar’s interior, making for a warming setting in which to explore an excellent wine range. With 40 to choose from, including nine champagnes, Vroni’s…
60 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
If you believe the deep-fried Mars bar is an urban myth, proof of its existence can be found at Maggie May’s, an indie/folky music venue and pub with a surprisingly civilised restaurant tucked away at the back of the bar. The crisply battered…
Bier Halle
9 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3PL
When the Bier Halle opened 13 years ago, lager enthusiasts embraced its ‘authentic German beer hall’ layout and menu of over 60 beers. Who would have anticipated that it would have pioneered a two-for-one pizza revolution that has now reached seemingly…
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Situated in upmarket Princes Square, Barça’s top floor terrace is a prime spot overlooking the courtyard and soak up the buzz. Inside this spacious urban style brasserie is a lively cava bar at one end with regular cocktail masterclasses and salsa…
Sloans
62 Argyll Arcade, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8BG
Sloan’s is enjoying something of a renaissance at the moment, cleverly positioning itself between homely traditional pub and something a wee bit funkier for when the shoppers go home and the evening arrives. They do cracking pints of Heineken and…
Cathedral House Hotel
28–32 Cathedral Square,
Glasgow,
G4 0XA
Taking up the ground floor of an ancient-looking building across from the Necropolis and Cathedral, and close to Strathclyde University, it's no surprise that this bright and spacious bar is popular with tourists and students. A mezzanine provides a…
Mono
12 Kings Court, King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Mono has been serving Glasgow’s veggie and vegan clientele for ten years now and it’s easy to see the attraction. The room has an indie vibe with a raised platform for the eating area, a good-sized stage for visiting musicians and a long colourful bar…
The Living Room
150 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5NE
Weekends at this popular bar and diner feature live music and even a regular magician – helping to create a lively infectious buzz that is easy to get caught up in. Couples and groups are seated in leather booths, helping to break up the restaurant…
Bar Bloc+
117 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
From the mural of Brezhnev and Honecker kissing that greets you upon entrance to the imposing wooden benches one must then clamber into, Bloc is anything but subtle. And nor should it be, with live entertainment and a late licence all week. Its…
Kudos Bar Restaurant
29 Waterloo Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6BZ
Situated in a prime spot close to Central Station and the financial district, Kudos is the ideal venue for office staff looking for a quick pit-stop at lunchtime. The bar’s express lunch menu, containing favourites such as battered haddock and macaroni…
Bunker
193–199 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HU
For such grand subterranean dimensions, Bunker does an impressive job of always feeling busy. Even during quiet afternoons a healthy young crowd fills the bright, airy space. When lights go down and the indie/chart music gets louder, it’s busier still…
Moskito
200 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HG
The ambient beats and distinctive green-turquoise hue of Moskito have been with us for more than a decade now, making it the elder statesman of Bath Street. Like its neighbouring bars, the location’s great for workers from the nearby offices, as well as…
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
272a St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5RL
There was a time when every young buck in town knew Tut’s as the venue where Oasis famously got signed. It’s still going strong in the music stakes, with an impressive list of of artists that have graced the stage listed on the staircase leading up to…
Slumdog Bar & Kitchen
410 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
Cocktails and curry seem somewhat incongruous, but when you taste the rose-flavoured Slumdog Millionaire, it remarkably works. Slumdog bar and kitchen, on Sauchiehall Street's student/teens strip, is more reminiscent of a style bar than an Indian…
The Art School
The Beresford Building, 468 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LW
While The Glasgow School of Art is renovated, the union has made its home here in the Beresford building. It’s suitably scruffed up –- creative doodles on the wall, candle-lit tables, and lots of students (though all are welcome). There’s a friendly…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
With its proximity to Charing Cross Station, the Premier Inn and the motorway, the long-established Baby Grand is handily placed to cater for commuters, visitors and business folk, particularly during the day. At night the area is quieter but a…
Black Sparrow
241 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
The Black Sparrow is certainly an attractive room, packed with original details, with a huge ornate bar that runs the length of the space and lots of rather cute booths perfectly made for two. There’s a mezzanine level for larger groups and a much…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
Named after a Charles Bukowski alter ego, Chinaski’s maintains its underground roots by eschewing any signage on the exterior in an effort to deter large groups of rowdy drinkers from nearby Sauchiehall Street. During daylight hours the bar is bright…
