Three Judges
141 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6PR
From the numerous certificates that decorate the walls of this traditional bar it’s clear that the Three Judges has the deepest respect for real ales. On the day of review they were also received their latest award from CAMRA, the 2012 Scottish cider…
Variety Bar
401 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
This appropriately named corner bar on Sauchiehall Street is a cheerful juxtaposition of old man’s pub and wild child’s watering den, serving all (legal) ages and persuasions, with a genuinely eclectic collection of regulars. No food, alas, but a big…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
It may no longer be a hidden secret, but the bar in the loft above Café Gandolfi still offers an intimate seclusion difficult to find in Merchant City. Inside, stunning handcrafted furniture contrasts with exposed metal beams overhead that somehow…
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…
Boudoir Wine Bar
Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
It might be easy for a Glaswegian to look at Boudoir and think 'Nah, not for me'. With its purple, flouncy, feminine appearance it looks perhaps out of place and might be better suited to Paris than the Merchant City. But it would be a mistake to pass…
Canal Station
1 Stow Brae, Paisley,
Glasgow,
PA1 2HF
A member of the Maclay Inn group of bars, Canal Station offers much that its sister venues do - a smart and welcoming environment, pub classics on the menu, a well-stocked bar and dependable service. Housed in the old Paisley railway station, it’s a…
Church on the Hill
16 Algie Street,
Glasgow,
G41 3DJ
For someone who’s never seen it before, the Church on the Hill is pretty stunning – a refurbished church that looks like the Parthenon in Greece, facing on to Queen’s Park. It really is a lovely venue, and very popular with a cross-section of…
Clockwork Beer Co
1153-1155 Cathcart Road,
Glasgow,
G42 9HB
The Clockwork’s food is thoroughly of the pub grub variety, and perfectly agreeable at that. A steak and mushroom pie has decent, thick gravy and a healthy spread of meat underneath crisp puff pastry. Fajitas, cheaper than a lot of places, come on a…
The Common Rooms
71–77 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
Having recently been taken over by new owners, the Common Rooms is looking to re-assert itself in the West End. Spruced up, with a brand new fixed-priced menu and a whole array of live entertainment, it appears ready to compete with the densely…
Den Bar & Restaurant
128 Drymen Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3RB
When opening in December 2011, the Den wanted to bring a little bit of the West End to deepest darkest suburbia. They’ve succeeded: it's a funky place to hang out, have a drink and a bite to eat. Overtones of the swinging sixties can be found in the…
The Doublet
74 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JF
A snug, cosy local; there is more to The Doublet than meets the eye. Having been under the same ownership since its inception over 50 years ago, the bar has understandably built up a trusty following of regulars, who visit to sample the wide range of…
Ivory Bar & Restaurant
2–4 Camphill Avenue,
Glasgow,
G41 3AY
Situated adjacent to the greenery of Queens Park on a relatively quiet residential street, The Ivory Hotel looks like it could almost be the eatery and watering hole in a rural town. It feels like it inside too, with an informal atmosphere generated by…
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…
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…
The Observatory
140 Elderslie Street,
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…
Saramago Café Bar
CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
Occupying a light, airy atrium in the heart of the CCA, Saramago draws a bohemian crowd – you’re more likely to find an up-and-coming conceptual artist or filmmaker at the next table than a weary Sauchiehall Street shopper. The menu is a tour of mostly…
