Welcome to Glasgow!

Salon, Glasgow

15-06-2009

2 Review(s)     

Much like its sister pub, The Loft, The Salon is a vast, deco-stylish watering hole perfect for those girly nights out in the West End.
Their extensive cocktail menu is pricey, but tasty too, and on Thursdays cocktails are a mere £2. The weekday 'Seven Deadly Sins' drinks promotion is also worth a look for a cheap deal or two.
If you're feeling peckish, The Salon provides all the usual posh pub grub, including - it has to be said - one of the best burgers in Glasgow.
The venue also showcases live bands at the weekend, Tuesday salsa classes and many more promotions.
Like many Social Animal pubs across Scotland, you probably won't find an unforgettable atmosphere in The Salon, but with pretty surroundings, plentiful booze and good hearty grub, you can always just add friends and create it yourself.

Tchai-Ovna, Glasgow

28-03-2009

3 Review(s)     

Possibly Glasgow’s best kept secret, the west end Tchai Ovna is one of those places advertised by word of mouth. The tea house can be found in a lane on the corner of a lane, advertised by one single board around the block. If you do find eventually find it, you certainly won’t forget it in a hurry. Tchai Ovna’s balcony is a secluded leafy spot under a bridge over the river Kelvin; a traveler’s paradise. The furnishings, vegetarian food, specialty teas and shisha pipes on offer are more hippy than trying-to-be-hip. Tchai Ovna is laidback leisure at its best.

The Grosvenor Cinema, Glasgow

28-03-2009

2 Review(s)     

The Grosvenor cinema is an intimate venue in Ashton Lane boasting two screens and showing a mixture of blockbuster and indie films. While the masses are heading for the commercial Cineworld in the city centre, seasoned film buffs get their fix at this tiny cinema. There is a fully licensed bar for those wanting a drink with their film. Even better, there are sofas available to rent at the back of the screen. Until everyone can afford a projection theatre in their own home, the Grosvenor provides little home comforts and an intimate setting for a good film.

Blas, Glasgow

28-03-2009

1 Review(s)     

Blas, offering locally produced fare and a stunning view of Kelvingrove Museum, holds great appeal for tourists. The restaurant is also popular with the local crowd, catering to those who want a home-cooking style meal without the hefty price tag. The Wee Blas menu, with tapas-style portions, offers a chance to sample various dishes. Best of all, the main items from the menu, like the Ullapool smoked salmon, can be put on a bun for a tasty lunch option. A meal at Blas is like visiting your granny’s house – if she had a nice West End view, that is.

La Vita Pizzeria, Glasgow

28-03-2009

23 Review(s)     

Set in Glasgow’s city centre, this restaurant never has a quiet moment. If you’re after great food and atmosphere, La Vita may be the right kind of busy. A great place for weekend lunches, the menu is extensive, and the pasta may well be the best in the city (the ‘Nonna’ is recommended – a mishmash of multiple ingredients, and yet it works so well!). The ground level tables are parallel with huge windows, opened on pleasant summer days. A nice touch for diners, although the temptation for passers-by to grab pizza and run must be tempting with food that good!
