The Secret Garden at the Gate
62 Trongate, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
This is something different from the team behind both the Dhabba and Dakhin Indian restaurants - a bar with a small dining room to the rear that features Asia Pacific cuisine of an Indo-Chinese inclination. As we go to press, however, keys had just been…
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…
Slouch
203–205 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HZ
With classic rock icons on wall and stereo, Slouch is unashamed in where its musical heart lies: a sort of Hard Rock Café without the cheesiness. The dining section, separate from the bar, soaks up the atmosphere but allows some space to enjoy your…
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…
Strawberry Fields
517 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
Frothy high-end kids fashion, with tiny designer garments (prices up to £250) from all across Europe.
TGI Friday's
113 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3HF
Now in its 15th year of serving up hearty American favourites to families, office parties and numerous other punters, TGI Friday's is as busy as ever (and by some accounts it's the most popular restaurant in the city). The chain operation's formula of…
Tusk
18 Moss Side Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3TN
One can't help being overwhelmed when entering Tusk; the vast, high-ceilinged former filmhouse carries off a contemporary Asian-inspired design with a luxurious flourish. At centre stage sits a giant golden Buddha, and the faint smell of incense drifts…
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…
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…
WEST Brewery
Building 4 Templeton Building, Glasgow Green,
Glasgow,
G40 1AW
With many bars in Glasgow and beyond stocking their excellent beers – brewed in accordance with German Purity Laws (meaning they include water, malt, hops and yeast, and nothing else touches them other than a skilled brewer's hand) – WEST's impact on…
Dukes Bar
41 Old Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G3 8RD
Newly opened in 2011, refurbished by the same crew that fitted Epicures and BrewDog, Dukes Bar could easily win awards on style alone. There’s a pleasing reclaimed chic with exposed brickwork and vintage tiling, the booths being particularly well…
The New Sports Cafe
292–331 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JA
Glasgow's Sports Café has everything you need to enjoy good food, good drink and your favourite game - all at once! It has six bars spread out over two floors and the restaurant even boasts private dining booths - each with their own screens, so you can…
