Glasgow is not one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe, because it may not have that many sights as other cities, but the pub scene is outstanding and it also has some very good restaurants. In a couple of days I cannot find a lot of bars and restaurants, but I will be posting some bars and restaurants here, and they will be located per neighbourhood.

West

The western side of Glasgow may be the most interesting area of the city as it has museums, nice streets and cool bars and restaurants. You can not miss this area when visiting Glasgow.

The Wee Pub at the Chip

Located at the fantastic Ashton Lane The Wee Pub at the Chip is a great start to the trip in Glasgow. Although you can eat here, it is mostly a pub for drinks. The cosy areas of the bars are great to have some options in beers and whisky. There are different sections, so choose your favourite and connect with the locals!

Reservation: No reservations needed

Busy: It was busy, but we could sit straight away.

Sights nearby: Ashton Lane, Botanical Gardens

Restaurants/Bars nearby: PG fast food, Jinty McGuinty’s Irish bar, Óran Mór, Hanoi Bike Shop

PG Fast Food

PG Fast Food is an odd one out, as it is a fast food restaurant, but it is a very nice one. The buns are kind of waffles with stuffing in it. The stuffing can be vegetarian, chicken, salmon or something else and it is delicious. This is a pretty healthy option in comparison to other fast food option, although it is still not great.

Reservation: No reservations needed

Busy: I could order straight away

Jinty McGuinty’s Irish bar

Jinty McGuinty’s Irish bar  is another treasure at Ashton Lane. The bar mostly attracts a younger crowd. The pub is pretty long with the bar on one side. When we were there there was a great band playing live music. This is a great place to try some different pints and enjoy your time. 

Reservation: Reservation is not necessary

Busy: There is a nice crowd

Óran Mór

Óran Mór is one of the most famous venues of Glasgow. It is located in a church. It is mostly a pub with a very big bar, where you walk all around. You can sit at the bar, at tables or stand. There is often live music. In the evening it also turns in to a concert hall/club. This is a fantastic place!

Reservation: No reservations needed, but sometimes you need a ticket for club nights

Busy: There is a nice crowd, but you will have a spot.

Mother India Café

Mother India Café is located across Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. This restaurant has great service, the vibe is relaxed, and the interior is cool. However, the best thing (and the most important) is the extremely tasteful food. This is one of the best Indian food I have had in my life. 

Reservation: It was crowded, but we had a spot without reservation. I think making a reservation is not bad thing

Busy: There is a nice crowd.

Hanoi Bik Store

Hanoi Bike Shop is one of the coolest places in Glasgow. Although the name suggests something else, this is a restaurant. The atmosphere is absolutely great, both inside and outside. You feel like you are in Asia. You can eat different types of small and Karger Vietnamese dishes and they taste great.

Reservation: No reservations needed in our case

Busy: It was pretty quiet, when we were there for lunch.
