The Gate Glasgow

Glasgow whisky pub

""The Gate" in Glasgow is a hidden cocktails gem and the perfect spot for all whisky enthusiasts. They also do cocktail deliveries - a lifesaver!"

The Gate is a hidden cocktails gem and the perfect spot for all whisky enthusiasts. It's the perfect spot for some good Scottish banter, drinks and food!

If you are a whisky lover like me, you'll definitely struggle to pick a whisky-based cocktail from their menu. If you are more of an old-school whisky enthusiast then you are in for a treat as they have 160 local whiskies to choose from. If you are not that into whisky but you want to experience Glasgow banter and great hospitality don't worry they have you covered with plenty of beer, gin options, and wine too!

Their food menu is full of great toasties and they also host food takeovers along great local food spots. Do keep an eye out for updates on this on their Instagram page and website. Make sure you pop by, I love stopping by at the weekend after a visit to the Barras market.

The Clyde Clock

Landmark Sculpture at Bus Station

Welcoming all to Glasgow, the Clyde Clock’s quirky, rushed figure mirrors the city's fast pace. Ironically, even its installation was late!
