The Hug and Pint Glasgow – Pub, music and kimchi
Glasgow has a well deserved great reputation for small pub music venues and on the ever burgeoning hive of great places on the Great Western Road is The Hug and Pint. There are three really good things about this place. Firstly it's cool (and not just for its dog friendliness...Winnie does like the Kimchi though!). It's where not so cool folk like me like to hang out with cool folk that love live music.
Secondly, the venue downstairs is 'bijou' and intimate (...small!). There is live music on most nights. Check out the website. Most of the bands are local or up and coming but the music is very diverse and there's always a wee gem to be heard on most nights of the week. From Beautiful acoustic sets where a pin can be heard to drop to raucous, sweaty , noisy bouncing gigs.
Although I'm not a vegan, the vegan food is great and tasty. It's very much a Far East Asian inspired menu. You can get small snack bowls of lovely kimchi or seaweed. There are mushroom and tofu broths with noodles, Korean soups, Black Fungus and bean curd stew or black pepper aubergine with pickled cucumber and rice. You can now get a big platter style option with a little taste of everything! If you eat there before 5 you can get a main course for £5. They also do home deliveries. The beer is good with a choice of organic ales, as well as some obscure bottled beers.
