The Loft Bar & Restaurant
The Grosvenor Theatre, Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
This casual bar/restaurant (in the G1 Group) sprawls under the vast baroque ceiling of the original Grosvenor Cinema. Being just a stone's throw from the Glasgow University campus, the place bustles predominantly with trendy students dressed up for a…
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…
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…
13th Note Café
50-60 King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
Scotland
Set on arty King Street, this laid-back hang-out has long provided wholesome vegetarian food to hungry indie rock fans - as live sets are played in the basement seven nights a week while hip music is a permanent backdrop in the bar/café. Diners…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
A club, bar, restaurant and VIP lounge in one, Arta is a jewel in the crown of Stefan King's G1 empire. The vast, remodelled interior of the Merchant City's old cheesemarket recalls the set of some particularly lush Fellini epic - a phantasmagoria of…
Maggie May's
50 Trongate Merchant City, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
What a difference a year makes. Now under the same management as Òran Mór, Maggie May (formerly Bluu) feels like a properly thought-out operation. The pursuit of cool is replaced by warmth, with reds and browns, muted lighting and a mix of dining chairs…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
The ageing architecture of this former bank building has been given a bright and modern lift by this busy, yet chilled-out, local bar and bistro, with its squishy brown leather sofas, huge red lampshades, bold black and white curtains and chunky wooden…
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…
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…
Bar Bloc Bar Bloc
117 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
The Spartan décor of this city centre basement bar - black walls, industrial columns, red leather seating - is perhaps intended to evoke secret student hangouts in Cold War Russia. The menu quotes a fictitious letter from Stalin: 'Dear Mr McConnell, I…
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Although Thai-influenced food has been a characteristic of this high-concept chain for several years, more recently the West End branch has also been focusing on Scottish ingredients while still retaining a flavour of the Far East. Embedded in Cresswell…
The Living Room
150 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5NE
Approaching the reception desk here, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were about to be vetted for admission into a snooty hotel. However, once you've been ushered through the doors by a member of the Living Room's genial staff, the welcome murmur of…
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…
Capitol
468 Sauchiehall Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3LW
Named after the Capitol Picture Theatre, an architecturally imposing cinema intended for Sauchiehall Street in the 1920s (though never built), Capitol inhabits the ground floor and basement of the former Beresford Hotel. Despite its 1938 art deco…
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…
Corinthian
191 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
Glasgow's former union banking hall dating from the 19th century provides an impressive grade A listed backdrop to this multi-spaced emporium of eating and drinking. Neon lights under the spectacular glass dome of the Lite bar, and staff in stylish…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Mono
12 King's Court King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Scotland
Tucked beneath a largely neglected railway line, Mono is a well-used junction of food and music, where diners can browse in the indie record shop Monorail before tucking into down-to-earth vegetarian and dairy-free food. With its cream brick walls and…
