Ad Lib
111 Hope Street, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 6LL
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 1UR
Refurbished and revived in May 2005 after a fire in the nightclub above that caused substantial water damage, Bacchus is again a laid-back style bar that has retained its pre-club atmosphere and a reliable clientele of diners. Its extensive menu reads…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 1NY
The loft space above one of the jewels in Glasgow's informal eating crown needs little introduction to west coast foodies. Although it's relatively tiny inside, the high, sloped attic ceiling, deep bar and open plan kitchen make it seem more spacious.
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 91
91 Candleriggs, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 1NP
Smart, understated and eschewing the pretentious touches that make some Merchant City establishments appear uptight, Bar 91 enjoys a robust lunchtime trade. Yet the wait for a table is handled deftly and there's no inducement to hurry once a seat is…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, City Centre, Glasgow, G1 3NU
Bar Soba pulls off the feat of being a stylish city centre bar with the warmth and easy-going attitude of a local. The downstairs restaurant operates during the busier nights of the week and food is served upstairs in the bar at other times. Although…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road, West End, Glasgow, G12 8HH
The window for open air dining in Glasgow may be brief, but when it's ajar, the Big Blue cashes in on its sun-trap location just above the banks of the River Kelvin. Even when the weather isn't conducive to eating outdoors, the brightly coloured mosaics…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street, West End, Glasgow, G3 7SA
One of Glasgow's original style bars, Air Organic's space-age interior lost its lunar lustre long before its 2006 closure. In its place, Big Slope has offered a breath of fresh mountain air, taking its name and inspiration from hunting lodges in the…
The Butterfly & the Pig
153 Bath Street, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 4SQ Scotland
Unique, and maybe just a little zany, this flighty butterfly and dashing pig have made a rather refreshing splash across the Glasgow pub food scene. Eclectic retro décor typified by wingback chairs, velvet poufs, art deco crockery and odd, narrative…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, West End, Glasgow, G3 7DL
An unassuming exterior lacking apparent signage lends Chinaski's a certain immediate hipness. It is inspired in name by barfly/writer Charles Bukowki's alter ego, and there are subtle references to the beat writer, though with no theme-bar triteness…
The Left Bank
33-35 Gibson Street, West End, Glasgow, g12 8nu
The Left Bank, where design chic meets enthusiastic foodies, offers a casually stylish hangout out that's as much a bar as a bistro. It's still hugely busy a year after its arrival in 2006 on the Gibson Street scene, and the atmosphere can at times be…
The Liquid Ship
171-175 Great Western Road, West End, Glasgow, G4 9AW
Sitting on the fringe of the West End, this compact bar is afforded a wholesome feel by its polished wood and uncluttered layout. Nevertheless, there's a casual confidence that makes it unquestionably cool. Could be its connections? Much of the food is…
The Local
427 Sauchiehall Street, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 3LG
Faux antique frames devoid of any art cover the walls, and there is a mish-mash of assorted ceiling lamps, 1960s retro functional tables, old-fashioned dining furniture and chesterfield sofas, all in a thoroughly modern space. If the way it looks is…
Mine
158-166 Bath Street, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 4TB
Adjoining Catch 22 [see Fish], this G1 Group bar is a tidily efficient operation, with dutiful service noiselessly shuttling between customers, politely gauging satisfaction. The high-ceilinged interior is elegant yet understated, and a pianist plays…
Miso
57 West Regent Street, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 2AE
With its casual atmosphere, Miso seems more like a collision of ideas and circumstances than a gastro-concept pub specialising in Japanese cuisine. The venue still betrays traces of its one-time existence as a Scottish brew pub in the mosaic floored…
Moskito
200 Bath Street, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 4HG
Once you've been lured in by the yellow paved stepping stones, it is easy to see why Moskito competes so successfully with the rest of the Bath Steet style bars. The sprawling, warmly-lit interior is comfortable and impeccably well-kept, and sitting…
Observatory
138-140 Elderslie Street, West End, Glasgow, G3 7AW
Observatory offers informal neighbourhood dining in a site pitched between the West End and city centre. Warm sandstone and scrubbed-wood finishes with plain, unlaid tables give an unpretentious and appropriately flexible feel for its diverse clientele…
Òran Mór
731-735 Great Western Road, West End, Glasgow, G12 8QX
Presiding over a prime spot where Byres and Great Western roads meet, Òran Mór's main bar is housed in an impressive renovated church, with a more formal dining room around the corner [see Bistros & Brasseries] and performance spaces in the basement and…
Rio Cafe
27 Hyndland Street, West End, Glasgow,
Tucked away from the main West End thrust, this fairly new haven of kitschy decor has proved incredibly popular, thanks largely to its brunch menu - although this is not the Rio Cafe's only attraction. Mustard-coloured mock-croc booths, coloured tea…
The 78
10-14 Kelvinhaugh Street, West End, Glasgow, G3 8NU
Almost a year after it closed as the much-loved grungy music bar Stereo, this place has metamorphosed into something altogether brighter, more airy and mature. At one end sits an antique wooden gramophone and a box of classic old 78RPM records to play…
Stravaigin Café Bar
28 Gibson Street, West End, Glasgow, G12 8NX
An ever-popular attraction on Gibson Street, Stravaigin offers a jumble of mismatched wooden furniture, which lends the street-level café bar a slightly well-worn and rickety charm. Staff tend to be young and friendly, and though there may be the odd…
The Universal
57-59 Sauchiehall Lane, City Centre, Glasgow, G2 4JD
Flashier town centre bars may struggle to fill their sofas on an early week evening, but this little bar is buzzing pretty much every night. Hidden away on a side street, it can't attract much walk-up, so what's its secret? On two floors, bare brick…
WEST
Binnie Place, Glasgow Green, East End, Glasgow, G40 1AW
'He was a wise man who invented beer.' So said Plato, according to the menu at this Bavarian-style bar/restaurant on the edge of Glasgow Green. It would seem the owner is no slouch either, having set up his own brewery on-site to produce house beers in…
