The 78
10–14 Kelvinhaugh Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8NU
Named after 78rpm vinyl records (a pile of which sit next to an antique gramophone), the 78 is several miles away from its previous incarnation as the grungy indie hangout Stereo. Bright and airy but still intimate, the café bar's relaxed atmosphere…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
The Arches has long held a reputation for being one of the coolest venues in the city. Its club nights are legendary, its music programme adventurous, its theatre daring and eclectic. Various events and festivals throughout the year, such as Arches…
Brel
39–43 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
The interiors of this converted stable and coach house maintain their rustic charms, particularly with the original white glazed brick walls and heavy wooden doors. Many who come here for a bite enjoy eating in the small space with butcher paper-covered…
Mine
158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
Two parts gentleman's club to one part burlesque lounge, the interior of Mine is an impressively luxurious setting. Booths of deep crimson leather and dark, polished wooden tables lit by individual 1940s-style lamps lend the space a feeling of intimacy…
Bar Bola
144 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HB
Gibson Street and the northern, leafy fringes of Kelvingrove Park are on the doorstep of Bar Bola, a quirky venue that straddles the divide between student hangout and local style bar. Despite its idiosyncrasy, this ever-popular destination is often…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Nestled in the eaves of one wing of an old church that also houses a theatre and bar is Cottier's restaurant. Decorated in gold and blue and lit with fairy lights, the dining room can feel like one of Glasgow's more romantic settings. The food is…
Europa
8–10 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1DR
There are two big selling points for this barnlike bar: its proximity to Queen Street Station and George Square and its many TV screens showing football, which draw large crowds for big games. There's a giant one indoors, mini-screens above the booths…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Openly positioned on a corner of Argyle Street in an area now filled with dining choices, Firebird celebrates it tenth year in 2008 – still winning new customers with its mix of laid-back ambience, good, affordable food and friendly staff. Smokers and…
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
272a St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5RL
While it's famous as the place to hear many of the best up-and-coming bands, King Tut's is just as adept at feeding and watering the local office population. The basement bar, featuring worn wooden tables around the walls – themselves a gallery of…
The Liquid Ship
171 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9AW
With its dark wood, whitewashed brick walls and quirky array of clocks, posters and nautical paraphernalia, The Liquid Ship is a laid back location in which to drink and dine. The menu, though compact, is dominated by well-sourced ingredients and…
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
This vast G1 Group bar/club and restaurant has an interior of truly striking extravagant opulence, with a vast gold-painted Buddha overlooking the dining room. Rich, dark red walls plus cream and gold curtains offer appropriately theatrical touches in…
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…
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Four years after opening in the West End, Budda still offers something of an ethnic cocoon. Gold statues line the bar, Balinese lanterns hang from rich orange walls and twisted wooden chairs create a sense of far-eastern intimacy overlooking the cobbles…
The Drum & Monkey
93-95 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5TL
Part of the Mitchells & Butlers group of pubs and bars, this bustling city centre venture enjoys a prominent position where St Vincent and Renfield streets meet. Popular during weekdays with workers from nearby offices, at weekends with shoppers, and…
JT Rochead
60 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Walking through a busy bar into this recently reconstructed restaurant is such a contrast that it feels a little like entering a theatre set. The décor might be described as Caledonian gothic, exemplified by wallpaper with giant thistle motifs on a…
Pivo Pivo
15 Waterloo Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 6AY
Pivo Pivo was one of Glasgow's first pubs to serve an extensive range of world beers - from Argentinian Quilmes to Kirin from Japan - and still largely trades on punters' tourism. Located right beside Central Station, its small bar area lies at the foot…
The Rio Café
27 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QF
With its retro stylings and traditional exterior, the Rio – part pub, part café – has a great 1950s vibe. There are leather booths and sleek formica tables, and the menu is printed diner-style on the wall. Its contents range from a selection of cooked…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
It may feel at first like a standard city-centre style bar with its muted lighting, studiously minimalist décor and languorous background beats, but Bar Soba's food is more than an afterthought to complement the range of fancy bottled beers. The kitchen…
Coopers
499 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
Beneath the ornate ceilings and chandeliers in this rather grand establishment hang four large corner screens that regularly show football. But Coopers caters for a wide spectrum of customers: young beer drinkers and the occasional tea-sipping pensioner…
Frankenstein Pub
92 West George Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1PJ
Located in a former bank, this large city centre bar is decorated to look something like Dr Frankenstein's laboratory, complete with a 10-foot monster. Booths, clustered round the central bar area, come with their own plasma TVs. Dining is also…
The Local
427 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
The quirky mix of ceiling lamps and a spherical white TV add a bit of character to the otherwise rectilinear furnishings of The Local: tables, chesterfields, empty picture frames and a free-standing bar on which the youthful clientele can rest their…
