Re: Glasgow
If you like Italian food then I highly recommend spuntini on gordon street right opposite Central station. Lots of good bars around that area as well

The pie doesn't look that far off a turd either

Re: Glasgow
It's not far from Sauchiehall Street.
There's all sorts around that area.
A lot of places do deals for what they call early theatre.
Obviously depends where you are staying.

Try Finniston or the West End (Ashton Lane). Glasgow is brilliant.

Was literally just going to recommend Ashton Lane. Not far from the Hydro, and one of the best eating and drinking streets in the UK.

Yes both great restaurants those.
Pub called the Ben Nevis in Finniston is also great as a recall.

Re: Glasgow
Get down on sauchiehall street. Tons of pubs to choose from. Charing X is where all the skirt goes out anyway.
For food I’d recommend going south towards George square on st.vincents street as most of the better eateries are that way. A particularly good one is cafe Andaluz which does Spanish tapas. It’s literally on the corner between George square and st Vincent street. The famous horse shoe bar isn’t far from there either on drury street..
Bier Halle on Gordon street just up from central station is worth a whirl aswell.

I had my first ever deep fried steak pie in Scotland 30 odd years ago bud and I tried it with trepidation. They are f!ckin fantastic. Even found a chippy in Leyland when I worked there that did them. I never got round to the deep fried Mars bar and couldn't quite get my head around the deep fried pizza. Is there ANYTHING the Scots won't put in a deep fryer?Bosscat wrote:McNeees Chippy..
