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…
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…
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 Universal
57–59 Sauchiehall Lane, Glasgow, G2 4AB
Somewhat hidden in the depths of Sauchiehall Lane, not many people will stumble over this bar, but those who seek it out will find an unpretentious café-style venue offering a menu of pub meals such as macaroni cheese, burgers and chicken enchiladas…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8DL
In the Arches’ subterranean dining room, regularly changing installations – often by local artists – provide the backdrop to interesting, well-executed food. An appetising menu includes adventurous options such as deep-fried baby octopus and wood…
The Tearoom @ The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4SQ
The 'odd pair', it states in the blurb, and they could be talking about the mismatched cutlery and crockery. A step back in time to a more genteel age awaits on climbing the stairs to the sister venue of the Buff Club and companion piece to the…
Café Cosmo
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow, G3 6RB
Just as the cinematic offerings at the GFT are a million miles from the standard multiplex fare, so is the café a welcome departure from harshly lit popcorn pushers and hot dog dispensers. It’s a cosy haven, with low lighting, dark blue walls and 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…
DRAM!
232–246 Woodlands Road, Glasgow, G3 6ND
As its name may suggest, DRAM! is a whisky drinker’s heaven; a range of over 75 malts providing ample scope for even the most learned of whisky connoisseurs to sample a new nip. A food menu comprising the best of Scottish produce brings in a mixed group…
The Lansdowne Bar & Kitchen The Lansdowne Bar & Kitchen
7a Lansdowne Crescent, Glasgow, G20 6NQ
With walls covered in plasma screens and a plethora of comfy booths, it is easy to see why the Lansdowne is considered by many to be among the best sports bars in town. To the rear of the spacious bar is a conservatory area, primarily a function room…
Ivy
1102–1106 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TD
From the street there’s little to see, but the heavy doors of the Ivy open into a small bar manned by some of the most enthusiastic staff you’ll meet in Glasgow. It plays host to six draft beers including the citrusy Joker IPA and more unusually 100…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 8HH
A perennial student favourite and something of a West End institution, the Big Blue endures in its picturesque location by the Kelvin. Portions are hearty enough to satisfy diners with big appetites. The fried calamari with lemon is a tasty starter and…
The 78
10–14 Kelvinhaugh Street, Glasgow, G3 8NU
This charming laid-back café/bar has the feel of a country house – set incongruously just off Argyle Street. A long bar dominates the rustically informal room with a line of aged wooden tables, an open fireplace and comfy armchairs hogging its large…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TL
A West End institution over the past decade or so, Firebird has always been known primarily for its pizzas (which can be bought to takeaway). Hand-made and cooked in a wood-fired oven, giving them a faint smokey flavour, they are thin and crispy with an…
The Grosvenor Café
The Grosvenor Theatre, Ashton Lane, Glasgow, G12 8SJ
Located above the well-known Ashton Lane cinema, the Grosvenor is a bar which captures the atmosphere of the film experience. A large projector screen plays out silent pictures throughout the day, while the bar’s décor harks back to the cinematic…
Hillhead Bookclub
17 Vinicombe Street, Glasgow, G12 8BE
There are not many places you can indulge in cocktail served in an old gramophone, but that is just one of the many quirky traits that ensures the Hillhead Bookclub is counted among the West End’s coolest hangouts. Food is of a very high standard, the…
The Rio Café
27 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, G11 5QF
The Rio Café’s 1950s diner-style décor and vibe has made it something of an institution in Glasgow’s West End, and it’s menu offers up tempting options whether you’re in for breakfast, lunch, or just a snack. The burgers come large and tasty, and even a…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, G11 5PX
Stencils on the walls, fairy lights and candles add plenty of character and atmosphere to proceedings in this converted church. Service is genuinely warm and helpful while suitably informal given the relaxed surroundings. The carpaccio of Inverurie beef…
The Waverley Tea Room
18 Moss Side Road, Glasgow, G41 3TN
This is perhaps the best of the G1 Group’s Southside outposts, as popular with early-rising families for its coffee and kids' play area as it is with evening revellers for its late licence, strong choice of beers and ten wines by the glass. It’s also…
The Bank The Bank Café Bar
443 Clarkston Road, Glasgow, G44 3LL
The Maclay Inns group, five of whose premises are featured in this section, tend to choose interesting buildings for their ventures that add a nice bit of character. In the case of The Bank it is, indeed, a former bank, now popular residential café/bar…
Clark & Sons
14 Busby Road, Clarkston Toll, Glasgow, G76 7XL
Located in the deep south of Clarkston, Clarke & Sons is a spacious, relaxed venue with a sort of ‘executive airport lounge’ feel, that garners a heavy following both as a bar and eaterie. It’s not cheap, but dishes have a touch of extravagance, and…
The Bridge Inn
27 Baird Road, Ratho, West Lothian, EH28 8RA
Those familiar with the Bridge Inn at Ratho before its recent renovation, will remember a decent watering hole located partway up the Union Canal. But since its facelift in 2010-11 it’s become even more worth a visit. Not only has the inside undergone a…
The Blue Goose Country Pub
27 Lanark Road, Edinburgh, EH14 1TG
Now split into a restaurant and bar, which serves a handful of lighter meals and tapas throughout the day, the Blue Goose is a vast improvement from its previous incarnation as the Dell Inn. However, the style (country pub meets colonial) doesn’t quite…
The Caley Sample Room
42–58 Angle Park Terrace, Edinburgh, EH11 2JR
Nowadays, with every establishment that serves more than crisps seeing fit to label themselves a ‘gastropub’, it’s refreshing to discover somewhere that’s actually deserving of the title. The Caley Sample Room’s commitment to using artisan suppliers and…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7NH
A cheery atmosphere awaits in a Room in the West End in the basement under Teuchters pub in William Street. With its red walls, chunky furniture and three wee booths at the back if you want a bit of privacy, the style is informal. Here you’ll find…
Ghillie Dhu
2 Rutland Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2AD
You might have misgivings about visiting a Scottish theme pub, but Ghillie Dhu manages to pull off the shtick without resorting to the expected tartan twee. Instead, the interior is reminiscent of a simple Highland shooting lodge, with exposed…
Kyloe Restaurant & Grill
The Rutland Hotel, 1–3 Rutland Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2AE
Kyloe, previously the Restaurant at the Rutland, has been reborn as a place for all things beef. Occupying a grand, first floor space, it’s decked out with cowhide booths and other bovine-themed furnishings. The playful interior, however, belies a…
Lebowskis
18 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8BJ
Considering this lively bar takes its name from a cult American anti-hero, the menu has a distinctly Scottish bent. That’s no bad thing though, especially given the quality – you could easily imagine Jeff Bridges’ character chowing down on some…
Filmhouse Café Bar
88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9BZ
Any self-respecting cinema-goer knows that no trip to the Filmhouse would be complete without a pre-movie bowl of nachos from their bustling café-bar. A haven for lovers of independent and arthouse film, the Filmhouse is awash with cinéastes nursing one…
Red Squirrel
21 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH1 2DJ
Having struck upon a winning formula of great beers and gourmet burgers with Holyrood 9A, it’s unsurprising to see owners Fuller Thomson attempt to replicate that success across town. While Red Squirrel lacks some of its sister venue’s subdued charm…
Hamiltons Bar and Kitchen
16–18 Hamilton Place, Edinburgh, EH3 5AU
This dusky Stockbridge stronghold never looks the most inviting, yet is always busy – packed with pram-pushing mothers during the hours of daylight, and stuffed with drink-quaffing suits of an evening. And, with separate menus on offer for breakfast…
Traverse Bar Café
10 Cambridge Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2ED
As one of Edinburgh’s most popular art hubs, the Traverse Theatre has long been a firm favourite – and the attached café-bar plays its part in that enduring appeal. Families are made welcome day and night, thanks to the café being kid-friendly until…
Iglu
2b Jamaica Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6HH
For all that it is tucked at the far end of a side-street, Iglu has established an enviable profile, priding itself on serving seasonal, locally-sourced, organic and wild foods in the cosy upstairs restaurant and downstairs bar area. Proving high…
Earl of Marchmont
22 Marchmont Crescent, Edinburgh, EH9 1HG
Much like its Canongate sister the White Horse, the Earl is a grand mixture of classic Edinburgh local and funked-up eclectic touches. The crowd is a hotch-potch of students, cheery thirty-somethings and a clutch of venerable regulars decorating the…
Hard Rock Café
20 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PF
Some restaurants are all about the expectation game. Launched in London over 40 years ago, the Hard Rock has since exported its rather cookie cutter approach all over the world, but should you go in expecting generous portions of decent, if rather…
Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè Valvona & Crolla Vincaffè
11 Multrees Walk, Edinburgh, EH1 3DQ
Valvona & Crolla’s Vincaffe is only a short distance but several years away from the densely packed cornucopia of the family-run business’s original branch on Elm Row. With a bright, contemporary décor, evenly spaced, white dressed tables and a bank…
City Café
19 Blair Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1QR
Pull up your pop socks and pick a song for the juke box: the City Café is your Grease-shaped American diner. Its red banquettes are just right for a short lie down after eating more than your fill of the great BBQ sharing platter, with sticky pork ribs…
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RH
Situated below street level, this bar looks like the sort of place American sitcom characters would head for after a hard day’s mirth-making, thanks to the obligatory neon sign, mustard-coloured walls and staff dressed in Hawaiian shirts. It could be…
Barioja
15-19 Jeffrey Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DR
Barioja has been dishing out its albondigas for over a decade, so could be considered a pioneer of the still relatively youthful Edinburgh tapas scene. Sitting alongside its big sister restaurant, Iggs, it’s seen competition come and go over the years…
El Bar
6–8 Howden Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9LH
Little L-shaped El Bar is the tapas bar and restaurant of Scotland’s only dedicated Flamenco school and studio, Alba Flamenca. It’s an unusual set-up, but one that’s won plenty of fans since its inception in 2008. Diners hoping for intimacy here might…
The Holyrood 9A
9a Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, EH8 8AE
If you can’t remember your last really great burger, head to Holyrood Road to have your faith in the patty renewed. Savouries are split between ‘one’ and ‘two handers’ – the former being edible with a fork while chatting, the latter needing both hands…
Joseph Pearce’s
23 Elm Row, Edinburgh, EH7 4AA
Pearce's huge popularity is testament to the warm and genuine welcome it extends to a diverse clientele. During the day a raised area to the back is a family-friendly haven, stocked with all the toys, highchairs and feeding paraphernalia that junior…
Guilty Lily
284 Bonnington Road, Edinburgh, EH6 5BE
From the rockabilly music coming over the speakers to the ‘50s movie posters and cheesecake burlesque shots decorating the walls, Guilty Lily proves to be a bar of welcoming and slightly saucy character. Its success as a local boozer has been built on…
The Salisbury Arms
58 Dalkeith Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5AD
Opened in June 2011, the Salisbury Arms was the first Scottish venture of the Village Pub and Kitchen group (their takeover of the Sheep’s Heid being a close second). With 39 establishments across the UK their ethos is to keep an independent spirit in…
Victoria
265 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8PD
Like the other Swedish-run bars in Leith, Victoria is both refreshingly familiar and determined to assert its own individuality. Their drinks range is classy and well-chosen, including beers from at least thirty-five different countries and their…
Teuchters Landing
1c Dock Place, Edinburgh, EH6 6LU
The pub sister of the A Room In… chain of restaurants, both Teuchters are directly connected to the Leith and West End branches of the restaurant. As if offering a frankly stunning range of alcohol (over 90 single malts in Teuchters; a wealth of…
The Parlour Bar
142 Duke Street, Edinburgh, EH6 8HR
Tucked away at the bottom of Easter Road beside Leith Links, the Parlour has been a word-of-mouth hit, building up a growing band of regulars. Well equipped with home comforts, such as a roaring coal fire, comfy sofas and stacks of books and board…
