Hidden in Summerhall, this bar is pretty amazing. Best apple cider ever, quirky decoration, great food, even better people. On any day it’s a perfect spot for after work drinks… but during the summer it gets even better thanks to their lovely Pickerings’ gin van, their beer garden and all the fun that is happening in the area. Honestly, do not miss it. Plus, it’s right next to the Meadows madaboutravel.com
Nooks and crannies abound to sit on whether you want food/ drink or both. Pickerings gin made on site served here as well as a range on beers. Outside seating for those pleasant days. foodanddrinkglasgow.co.uk
Lovely bar and restaurant in a really cool building and surroundings which result in a great atmosphere. Food is reasonably priced but still high quality – enjoyed the venison burger! They weirdly don’t seem to serve red wine though… Apart from that a lovely meal out without having to worry too much about the cost. evelivingston.wordpress.com
I love this bar and the Summerhall too! Were else can you get fabulous food, find a brewery, a distillery, and loads of evening events on too?! The Royal Dick bar is not the easiest place to find. Its on the SE corner of the Meadows – head through the main entrance to the Summerhall (Arts hub) and you will feel like you are back at school and have an urge to run in the corridors! Cross the hall, head out to the yard and right in front of you is the Royal Dick Bar with a huge courtyard space that they often host pop up food and drink events in.The bar, with illustrated vet cards laid out beneath glass, crowned by mad scientist distillation equipment and old books all around you. Off in the cubbyhole rooms are a (disinfected) operating table, animal bone wall art and enormous model ship. The whole feels like a house party thrown by a mad professor. They have a great on site brewery Barneys Beer so trying a beer or two is a must. As is ordering their house Gin – Pickerings served with pink grapefruit.There is both food and drink on offer here. The menu offers either full sized dinners or small tapas style bites. The bread and dips, crab, sweet potato and chilli fritters or paprika-spiked octopus and potato, even or padron peppers are a perfect snack while enjoying a drink. Though in ambience it’s more bar than bistro, the menu and food presentation are distinctly restaurant-ified: home-cured organic salmon gravlax, bouncy fresh Scrabster cod with bacon and mussel chowder, scallops and black pudding or shreddable braised blade of beef with barley risotto are all things I have tried.The feather steak with Caf de Paris Butter and chips is an absolute treat and really reasonable too. More bar-style is the wide ranging and inventive list of sharing platters which are huge and really good quality, you should try the garlicky hoummus with bread and olives. There is a decent, if not extensive, wine list and a really good traditional style cocktail menu. We took the dog and she loved it too! forkandfizz.com
